How do you go about determining the value and viability (deciding what problem to solve), and when do you involve designers and engineering to figure out the usability and feasibility. Would love to learn from your process. The more details, the better!

I start by talking to users and looking at the metrics. Users will tell you how they’re using your product and what friction points they’re encountering. Analytics would give you a good gauge on how high-impact the issue is. From there you can rank the deepest pain points to tackle first. Low hanging fruit is usually the best

Early on I would not focus on a solution. I’d focus on a very clear articulation of the opportunity/problem with user feedback and metrics. That way everyone understands and can give feedback what are potential solutions.

Ladies, I need your help
I have been looking for a job for 3 months now and would like to understand what I do wrong

I have 2 y of experience as PM and 10 y in marketing

So, I had 28 screening interviews with HRs (from companies) that led me to 12 interviews with hiring managers - 42%

And 5 out of these 12 invited me going farther- again 42% and have interviews with teams
Unfortunately, I wasn’t successful by any reasons. I am frustrated (((

I need some advice please. I made it to the final round of interviews for a Product Owner position. Since I’ve been dealing with rejection for almost two years of getting into Product does anyone have any tips to ace the interview? Also my goal is PM. Do you think a move from PO to PM is obtainable? I’ve done some research and according to Marty Cagan the PO & PM should be one individual. To this end is the PO position seen as redundant? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All, I recently found that I was getting paid 10% lower(in base salary but all other things being equal) than another APM on the team. I found that I’m in fact the lowest paid on an all male APM team. Do y’all have suggestions on what I should be doing to build my case for a raise? How do I go about eliminating that this may not be some sort of discrimination but we’re getting paid based on merit?
