@julia_m_mac Really like this thread. Well done! About this one though, I think you should explain what it stands for (Mutually Exclusive Collectively Exhaustive) and I think it's about categorisation and not just any random statement.

In the world of products, our ingredients are 🧂 Design, 🥦 Tech, and 🌶 Business.

Effective product management means saying no to stakeholders whenever a new idea threatens to throw off this delicate balance of ingredients.

Also remember, too many cooks spoil the broth...

Product Managers are like cooks 🧑‍🍳...

And like a great cook, measurements of ingredients make a good meal. Let me explain...

💡 Measurements are boundaries.

💡 Measurements mean efficiency.

💡 Measurements is a ‘no’ to too much/little.

Product Management is a job like many others. You can be a great product manager without an MBA or the ability to program your own crypto currency. You can do it in 40 hours or less a week. Don’t let these limiting beliefs stop you!

Product Management is massively overhyped! A thread...

Reading some posts on social media it seems that product management is this mystical thing, in which only a few chosen ones will ever achieve mastery….

[Felix Reiners 🚢 @fe_lix]

But these are all learnable and you’ll pick them up over time on the job.

Also, you don’t need to consistently work 60+ hours a week. That’s Silicon Valley elitist propaganda from people who still follow the cult of busy.

Note, that not all questions might be answered. Or you might get conflicting answers. These are usually the points I start working on right away.

I'm a freelance product manager. This means I regularly have to understand new products very quickly. This is my framework to get depth and width quickly.

[Felix Reiners 🚢 @fe_lix]

Once I collected answers to all these questions, I have a very good understanding what the product is about, priorities, and also what they might be struggling with.
