No one becomes a good Product Manager in a day. But we help you look inside the minds of great PMs to understand the mindset that makes them succeed. Because Product Management isn’t just a role, it’s a worldview, a set of skills that guide the way you think, and most importantly: lead.

Main takeaways:

• Build connections with team members and key stakeholders.
• Understand the strategy of your org, and how it aligns with the company's vision.
• Execute quickly and deliver success on projects in flight.

Webinar: The Road Less Traveled - A Key to Out of the Box Thinking by Amazon Product Leader

Being a Product Manager requires structured and organized thinking. Frameworks and toolkits are a handy and effective way to approach problems. Product Managers will learn about many and develop their own throughout their product careers.

Main takeaways:

• Find a team where you are not a natural fit - Coming from different backgrounds with different knowledge and education allows for a different perspective
• If everyone agrees, be the odd man out, aka the advantages of being a devil's advocate
• Asking the “dumb” question is a valuable trait to broaden other people’s perception

People often cringe at the mere mention of the term soft skills. This is because far too often these traits are perceived as non-quantifiable characteristics that are useless in driving results. The truth about soft skills is that they can be the make-or-break factor for a business.

Main Takeaways:

• Product Management is not a one-man show
• Success can be achieved by creating engagement and building trust
• There is no one recipe that fits all teams. You have to be attentive to people’s needs in order to find the right path to success.

As a Product Manager, you’re responsible for delivering products and features that both delight customers and move the company closer to its top-line metrics. However, how do you know whether the individual features you ship each sprint or each quarter are successful?

Main Takeaways:

• Avoid Big Bang delivery for complex, innovative product development. Do it iteratively and incrementally. You knew that already. But are you actually doing it?
• Start by identifying your MVP – the earliest testable product. Aim for the clouds, but swallow your pride and start by delivering the skateboard.
• Avoid the term MVP. Be more explicit about what you’re actually talking about. The earliest testable/usable/lovable is just one example, use whatever terms are least confusing to your stakeholders.
