Orchestrate vision and execution

Achieve clarity and focus on adding value with product iterations.

Objectives + Key Results (OKRs)

Set qualitative goals (objectives) and quantifiable metrics (key results) to track progress. Prioritize work and focus towards quintessential initiatives based on data.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Align product performance with OKRs to measure contributions towards overall success, such as uptime, error rates, user engagement, conversion rates and much more.

Product Metrics

Establish a central metric (North Star metric) that reflects the core value of a product and direct full attention towards optimizing such metric. Provide a clear focus and priority.

Opportunity Hypothesis

Discover needs and propose feature(s) to accommodate such needs. Validate hypotheses to determine practicality and align efforts on value creation.

“Product management is a balancing act of customer needs, market demands and business requirements.”

Process

Set priorities based on data to determine improvements and iterations.

01 /

Define

Establish a North Star metric and supplementary product metrics to measure product performance. Recalibrate tools + analytics to track relevant data points.

02 /

Study

Collect performance data to identify trends and anomalies. Draw insights from product findings to understand user behavior and discover needs or frustrations.

03 /

Hypothesize

Conceive opportunity hypotheses to improve or iterate based on insights. Consider tradeoffs between value and cost to determine practicality.

04 /

Validate

Conduct interviews, A/B testing and simple MVPs to assess demand and validate opportunity hypotheses. Set prioritization and incorporate within product roadmap.
