How a Product Manager Can Shift to Business Thinking

Many product managers focus on individual features without understanding the business they are creating the product for.
Product managers need a business-oriented mindset to develop a sense of understanding what works and what doesn't for the company.
Business thinking starts with understanding users and their problems to build a product that addresses their needs.
Product managers should be aware of goals and KPI metrics to create features that affect key business indicators.
Knowing the basics of the business model is important, which includes target audience, offerings, creating value, and revenue streams.
Understanding competitors is also essential, as every service has indirect competitors that need to be monitored.
Product managers need to look beyond the product and consider people, costs, risks, and other elements.
Going beyond the product involves understanding costs, development resources, collaborating with marketing, diving into operations, and legal risks.
Business thinking involves understanding users, business goals, business model, competitors, and going beyond the product.
A product manager's shift to business thinking helps build a product that solves real user problems and brings profit to the business.

How to use ANOVA to make data-driven decisions

ANOVA stands for analysis of variance, is a statistical method researchers use to compare multiple groups simultaneously to determine whether there are any statistically significant differences between them.
ANOVA’s history dates back to the early 1900s when it was primarily developed by the renowned statistician Ronald Fisher.
ANOVA is widely applicable where comparing outcomes across groups is essential for decision-making.
You can use ANOVA when you need to compare more than two groups and see if there are any significant differences in their performances.
As a statistical method, ANOVA comes with its own set of terms that are important to understand before you attempt to implement it within your product team.
ANOVA is categorized based on the number of variables participating in the experiment and the involvement of subjects in the study.
ANOVA is a statistical method used to compare the means of three or more groups to determine if at least one group’s mean is significantly different from the others.
It helps you identify variations among group means and assess the impact of different factors on a dependent variable.
Understanding ANOVA enables you to make data-driven decisions, understand relationships and variability within and between key drivers, and run post-hoc analysis.
You should define the objective, formulate hypotheses, collect data, check assumptions, conduct ANOVA, interpret the results, and run post-hoc tests (if applicable) while implementing ANOVA in your product team.

Collaboration is essential for team success, but collaboration only works when everyone stays in their lane.
Engineering teams need to avoid blurring their roles and doing the product owner’s job.
Over stepping by Technical Leaders can result in missing strategic planning opportunities.
Engineers are natural problem-solvers, but their eagerness to help may sometimes cross the line.
There is a delicate balance between constructive pushback and unnecessary control.
Collaboration between the PO, TLs and designers ensure that each domain of business, technology and design are managed adequately and adequately supported .
Engineers should guide the conversation while letting the PO own the final decision on what and why to build.
Teams shouldn't move forward on a project when they have doubts about the project’s long-term sustainability. Instead, they should refocus their energies and priorities.
True teamwork means leveraging diverse expertise to complement each other while respecting one another’s boundaries.
