Unlocking Product Sense — How to Think Like a Top Product Leader
- Product sense is a mix of empathy, intuition, and a solid grasp of market trends that helps in creating products that actually solve problems rather than just adding to the noise.
- Having strong product sense means you'll build something people want not just something that works. It separates successful product leaders from those who constantly miss the mark.
- Great product leaders are detectives, not order takers. Frameworks like Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) helps in identifying user problems by asking what job are they hiring your product to do.
- Product vision is like imagining the cake you haven’t baked yet, but without solid execution, it’s just a vision. The balance between vision and execution is what separates successful product leaders from those what miss the mark.
- Product leaders who blindly follow data without a human touch are missing the point. Use data to inform decisions, but don't let it dictate everything. Combine it with empathy for your users and you’ll find insights that truly drive your product forward.
- Product Sense is built with practice and feedback on a repeat loop. You can immerse yourself in your product’s natural environment by watching how your users interact with your product or similar products in real life, then build things and get feedback.
- Great product managers nail their product-market fit by understanding exactly who their product was for and why. They focus on knowledge workers collaborating, then scale from there.
