Hey guys need some advice - I am interested in Product Manager or Technical Project Manager roles and trying to see if I would be a good fit. I have been in tech consulting for 10 years and my experience has primarily been in QA, Business Analysis and been a functional lead/Product Owner for last two years. Current role is focused on the product, roadmaps and managing a scrum team. Also involves managing cross team dependencies, release, multiple stakeholders and priorities...

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (1 John 4).
