Hi I’m in bizops right now, entry level talent, and recently asked if I could moonlight work from the Product Manager I work with. They said yes and will let me own something small. Do you have any tips for what I can do ahead of this to make sure I do a good job? I’m hoping to have 2 takeaways from this: 1.) see if I am interested in doing PM full time, and 2.) see if I can get pulled into PM internally. Thanks! So far I have ordered a couple PM books and have been watching PM videos.

Ask if there is a feature or small epic you could help define; relate to business objectives, user metrics, design interventions, and story/BA definition. Work to understand the relationship between these things, and how to articulate the value and the means of execution. Learn how and when to talk with other team members to get to the right level of definition (building the right thing) ahead of development (building the thing right).

Thanks. I don’t even know what some of these terms mean, so I will start with googling them 🙈😂.

I think that's a pretty good idea tbh...like above, I would definitely start getting familiar with the terminology and specific aspects of product development and management that you're most interested in. Come up with good questions and think of ways that you can add value
