Hello all! After a staggering number of requests, I have FINALLY made the diagram in the video available for you to download. You can grab it here: theproductpup.gumroad.com/l/productmanagertasks Please leave a Gumroad rating if you can spare a minute :) Enjoy!

This is so much better than those who do "I wake up and get my coffee from Starbucks". This is legit a great insight.

30 minutes of valuable content with no wasted time. Super informative thank you!

The first minute of your video felt like you were reading my thoughts aloud!! SO HELPFUL!!!

This is the first time I have taken notes from a video, I loved every aspect of this video, but this is not for everyone, I had to see it maybe three times to make sure I had captured everything. I am really surprised to see that I am heavily involved in meetings, I had to branch my meetings and have no time to focus on the other areas. really loved it. well done Anika.

OMG!! i can't really over-stress how important and impactful your videos are to us out here. you are indeed a heavenly sent. Please just keep'em coming..

@@TheProductPup lol. Trust me, your channel has taught and saved me a lot. I don't even need to pay thousands of dollars for a PM Cert. One major thing I like about your channel it's that, you provide a detailed experience of the day-to-day life of a PM and hands-on experience. Especially for those who are still in the early stages of their professional career. Not many channels out there provide such a user experience. With your channel, I've been able to build a classic PRD and a product roadmap using google docs following your thought process and hands-on experience. For that reason, I appreciate your good work.💯

Very concise and genuine. I am product manager and have gone through almost all of these apects but I'm kinda struggling when someone asking me what PM does, forget stuffs here and there, and end up give generic answers :) This video just maps out and organize everything so well and very close to actual works of PM.

Absolutely power packed session..Got to know so many things in detail. Started taking notes and ended up writing every thing 😅

I am aspiring Product manager and find this video very insightful. Great work Anika!

I really appreciate the details you share with us and the way you structure your videos! It’s extremely helpful (and interesting of course).

So far the best explation of Product Management role on youtube, I was trying to make a decision on if i should switch to product management role or not. Trust me this video helped me alot.

Being a product manager myself for so many years I found it very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this video. I loved the mind map, such a brilliant way of explaining the workload and tasks of a PM. As someone wanting to change careers, I found this highly helpful. 😊

pausing this video 30% in to tell you how incredible this is, especially in comparison where it feels like people are actually telling me NOTHING about the day to day. thank you, I really get it now and it makes me pretty excited for my upcoming interview

i'm starting my career as a pm and this is so so so helpful! I got a lot of hands on experience on the "tactical" side of pm and have been able to do a great job. But I didn't get any mentorship or training on the strategy/roadmap and i was even straight up told that i'm not good at strategy which now I get it. I really should've ventured out on my own and learn from other pm experience and content rather than accepting what others claimed about me. Anyways, super super helpful and thanks for spending time on making this video!

Clear, practical, and easy-to-understand framework - (Strategic, Tactical, Meetings). Detailed delivery and very insightful. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Anika, really helpful to get an overall picture, appreciate it

Thank you Anika, this is a fantastic framework! Could you please make a video on how a PM should approach research and the tools you would use. Cheers!

Well done Anika! Great video, really well presented. It would be great to see/understand a little more about how you put all of this into practice on the day-to-day Like, low level stuff here - what is your go-to tool kit for tracking and reporting on progress. Do you use any specific software solution like Confluence and Jira, or Trello or Monday, or simply a Google Doc!! Sometimes it can be difficult to keep track of everything a PM is responsible for in one place and have the most up to date information at the tip of your fingers when asked about it in any given meeting. I tend to simply use pen and notepad but things can get messy easily and sometimes it can be hard to find the latest updates and information exactly when you need it.

This is awesome!!.

Hi, this is a very useful video! Could you elaborate on how much (%) of time you spend on each of these big buckets. As a new PM I think the trap is to get sucked for far too long into one bucket and then do the others last minute. Would be helpful to know how you split among these activities

@TheProductPup

3 ай бұрын

User stories are more granular than requirements and very user focussed - one requirement can have many stories. A requirement can also be functional (what the product will do) or non-functional (ie security, scalability). Stories are very focussed on what a user will do and their experience and task. Requirements are more high level.

I struggle with building a roadmap based on company priorities which are consumer facing and I'm an infra and platform PM. Any advice?

@TheProductPup

26 күн бұрын

Love this question, internal products tend to get sheltered behind customer facing products. I have worked on a Platform team, which built for both internal teams and customers. I’ve also seen infrastructure teams not Product leadership at all. I think internal product priorities should be based on customer facing priorities though. So, if you are not directly mentioned in company priorities, think about how you can enable and support the teams and products that building for customers. Also, those external facing product teams should come to you to help you with their needs which should help determine your priorities.

I understand that sketches may not always be the most effective way to convey our ideas. I'm currently researching wireframe tools to use. My professor recommended tons. But choice paralysis is true! Any ideas?

Owning 5 to 6 unique products is insane. If you’re a Director of Product with ownership over a portfolio but have PMs running each product reporting to you then that makes sense. But 6 unique products as a PM doesn’t make sense. Do you mean owning 6 different scopes within a large platform?
