How do we handle bias as a Product Manager?
1. Acknowledge there will be bias
2. Understand what kind of bias to watch out for
3. Be cognizant. Try as hard as possible to mitigate these biases.

I think I just clicked on a shadow button on a company's website. But I wouldn't know Bc I only reached a 404 Error page. MVP experiments with shadow buttons can be helpful, but anyone trialing this method should make sure to offer up a msg that doesn't leave the user guessing
It's easy to be down in the dumps, which is why we can often find ourselves there. But remember you can always climb out, and it starts with just one step. I'm taking mine, who's taking theirs with me?! #MondayMotivation
Achievement takes work, and work can take its toll. This #selfcaresunday, take a moment to yourself to relax and restore any depleted mental or physical energy.
@anandp29 This is actually so true. As product managers we have to communicate that there is more risk of losing customers when you're not in front of them asking questions and seeking feedback.
Strategically, the best #ProductManagers learn about what other teams are working on and struggling with by shadowing them. This doesn't have to be just Engineering! Think Marketing, Client Services, DevOps, Sales, too.
Having used, I have to say it’s easy and offers nice visual. Just wasn’t the most pleased with how flexible it was. And the design of tracking where you are on the the journey to milestones could definitely be improved!
Using our interactive Gantt chart capabilities is a great way to visualize your work and stay current on the progress. Learn how to set it up: https://t.co/01oBmyIfVu
This is a great read. Every major decision in the buying process is made by a human. So speaking to deeply human and sometimes mundane issues/goals like getting praised by the boss or making it home in time for dinner with the kids are def underrated value props. Story time.
@businessinsider 💯 - A list of tasks you were responsible for just won’t cut it. You need those positive action words connoting success to transform responsibilities into achievements!
@productschool Thanks for this! Very informative. The last 3 points to remember for aspiring product managers seem intuitive but from experience, they can easily be lost sight of when you’re in the daily grind.
