Good Product Managers
- Good product managers are extremely detail focused throughout the full product development lifecycle. You should be able to identify and resolve inconsistencies in features/applications you are defining and participate in the entire development process. Leading a quality product to release may require hundreds and hundreds of minor adjustments, clarification and decisions to get to that highly polished state of a truly great user experience.
- Good product managers command strong leadership of the build & release & feedback & iterate process. Putting a qualitative and quantitative feedback system in place that actively monitors all systems and uses signals to inform future decision, and is adaptable and willing to quickly change thinking & approach when data indicates the reality is contrary to a hypothesis.
