Focus on the big picture — In product management, it’s easy to get caught up in the minutiae. Discussions often dive into granular details that can consume time and distract from broader goals. Taking a step back and realigning on the big picture helps drive meaningful outcomes and reduce roadblocks.
Stakeholder Matrix & Engagement Channels — Mapping stakeholders by interest and influence can help product managers manage time and communication efforts efficiently. Different categories include actively engaging high-interest and high-influence stakeholders, keeping satisfied low-interest and high-influence stakeholders, keeping informed high-interest and low-influence stakeholders, and monitoring low-interest and low-influence stakeholders.
