Hi Everyone, This is the learning from Week 7 of the Fellowship Product Management Program by Growjunction Topic: Business Case Understanding My learnings from this module: 1. Critiquing and Providing Feedback on Design: Assessing and delivering actionable feedback on design elements to ensure alignment with business goals and user needs. Example: Suggesting adjustments to the layout of a mobile app to enhance user navigation and reflect brand aesthetics. 2. Feature Problem Statement Solving with the CIRCLES Method: Applying the CIRCLES framework (Comprehend the situation, Identify the customer, Report customer needs, Cut through prioritization, List solutions, Evaluate trade-offs, Summarize recommendations) to systematically resolve feature-related challenges. Example: Using CIRCLES to redesign a checkout flow by understanding user pain points and prioritizing solutions that reduce cart abandonment. 3.Creating Business Cases for Product Improvements: Formulating well-supported business cases for product advancements by pinpointing improvement areas and illustrating potential gains. Example: Presenting a case for adding a recommendation engine to an e-commerce site, explaining how it could increase average order value and improve user experience. 4.Mastering Estimation and Metrics: Acquiring skills to provide accurate time and effort estimates while understanding the significance of key metrics to track progress and guide strategic decisions. Example: Estimating the launch time of a marketing campaign and monitoring conversion rates to evaluate its effectiveness.

Connecting Product lovers in intimate gatherings. That's what I'm doing at Product Weekend, in just 6 words 🧡 One thing I didn't expect from Sidebar, was having access to amazing workshops and masterclasses like the one I had with Larry Smith and Lauren English, where I came up with this 6-words pitch. Another thing I didn't expect from an online international community, was meeting amazing people in person in my hometown. In the last 2 weeks, I had the chance to have incredible chats with Alia Pialtos and Mike Korenugin in Lisbon. What an experience! Meeting these brilliant minds face-to-face was extremely valuable 💎 Besides these, getting feedback from accomplished executive like Jon Wolheim, who has been through an IPO, has been invaluable. His advice has made me rethink investment and growth options for Product Weekend. All of this within a little over a month 🙌 When I first heard about Sidebar, I thought it was too expensive. But now, I realize it's a bargain for the value it brings. If you're interested in knowing more about my experience, feel free to drop me a text, and if we cross paths this week at PRODUCTIZED, I'll be happy to tell you more about it. I want more ambitious people to leverage this incredible growth opportunity 📈 Thank you Jeremy Barton for helping me take the leap 🙏🏻 #productmanagement #career #networking #product #growth

Hey LinkedIn! (Heads up—long post ahead!) As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve joined Co.Lab 🚀 joincolab.io, a bootcamp where I’m stepping into the Product Manager role, working with an amazing group of developers and designers to bring a new product to life. 💡 We’ve been focusing on ideation, validating our problem space through user research, and creating an MVP! This week, we hit a little bump in the road, and I thought it would be helpful to share, as it’s something I think can be relatable in any field. At the start of the program, my team and I identified a problem in the gifting space and developed a product idea we thought was super niche. Initially, we couldn’t find anything quite like it, so I felt super passionate about what we were building. 🎉 However, during some deeper market research for our upcoming Mid-Point demo, I discovered two products from 2019 and 2020 solving the same issue!! One of them even just secured $32M in seed funding! 😭 😭 😭 Naturally, I felt a bit defeated, thinking our idea wasn’t as groundbreaking and innovative as we thought. But after reflecting with friends and family, I realized this discovery actually confirmed we’re on the right path. Almost every successful idea has a direct competitor: Lyft vs. Uber, Afterpay vs. Klarna, Airbnb vs. VRBO. Our challenge now is to figure out how we differentiate. It’s not the end—it’s the start of an exciting journey. We now have something to compare ourselves to, and this gives us a chance to focus on making our product stand out. Competition pushes us to think more strategically and pinpoint what makes our solution unique in the gifting space. (I even get to put my Branding hat on a little here!) Just a reminder that when you’re feeling defeated, sometimes all you need is a quick breather 😤 and a shift in mindset to discover an even more exciting path forward. Pivoting and redirecting has been a huge part of this process, and it's been a great lesson I’ll continue to take with me in both work and life! #innovation #product #problemsolving #redirection #grit

🚀 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 Launching a new product feels like sending your kid to school for the first time. You're proud, you're worried, and you're pretty sure you've forgotten something important. 😅 Imagine this: you've nurtured your product from a mere concept and watched it grow through iterations and feedback, and now it's time to send it out into the world. It's your brainchild, your pride and joy, stepping into the playground of the market. You stand there, lunchbox (user manual) in hand, giving it a pep talk. "You're going to do great, kiddo. Just remember what we practiced (user testing), and don't be afraid to play nicely with others (integrate with existing ecosystems)." 🤖💼 But let's be real, the night before is sleepless. Did we cover all the bugs? Is the onboarding smooth enough? Will it make friends (users)? Or will it come home with a note from the teacher (customer feedback) saying it needs to play better (enhancements required)? It's a moment of pride and terror. You're releasing not just a product but a piece of yourself. You've poured your expertise, your creativity, and, yes, even your heart into this venture. And as any product manager can attest, it's a bittersweet symphony of hope and anxiety. Yet, this is what we live for. The thrill of the launch, the anticipation of user adoption, and the endless possibilities of impact. It's why we dive headfirst into the chaos of product development, armed with nothing but our wits, our teams, and a whole lot of caffeine. ☕ So, to my fellow product leaders, product managers, and dreamers out there, remember this: every launch, every product, every "first day of school" is a stepping stone. We learn, we iterate, and we grow. And just like proud parents, we get ready to do it all over again with the next big idea. #DiaryOfACPO #ProductLaunch #InnovationJourney #ProudParentMoment #LifeOfACPO

Hello Everyone🙋🏻♀️ Here's what I learned from Week 7 of the Fellowship Product Management Program by Growjunction 🚀 ◾️Importance of Metrics: Metrics are critical in tracking a product's performance and understanding user behavior. By identifying the right metrics, product teams can make data-driven decisions that enhance the user experience and align with business goals. ◾️North Star Metrics: Choosing a North Star Metric is essential for guiding product strategy. In E-commerce, for example, this could be customer retention or average order value, which directly impacts long-term business growth. ◾️Funnel Analysis: Funnel analysis helps track the user journey and identify drop-offs at different stages. For FoodTech, understanding where users abandon their cart or exit the app can reveal key areas for improvement. ◾️HEART Framework: This framework, developed by Google, is incredibly useful for measuring user happiness and engagement across different touchpoints. In the context of EdTech, it can help assess how well learners engage with course content, completion rates, and overall satisfaction. Thanks to the mentor Subham Bose for providing such valuable insights⭐️ #Growjunction #fellowgrowjunction #productmanagement

What does a 4-week learning experience and 3-week capstone at GrowthX® look like? Absence from social media 😅 Curious about my time away from Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube? Here’s the scoop 👇 Our goal? Double Zepto's revenue in 12 months and not screw up unit economics. From crafting product hooks to mastering acquisition tactics, we dove deep into the quick commerce industry, powered by countless sleepless nights. 📈 The Team? Working with Mansi Raicha, Shavi Goyal, Shreesh Shirpurkar, Shweta Arora, Ashit Pawar, and Paras Shah was a delight. I experienced the power of learning by engaging with experts in marketing, sales, and product design. 🤝 Although we didn't make it to the Top 2, we secured a spot in the Top 4. The best part? Our ideas came to life exactly as we envisioned and executed them. 🚀 A huge thanks to Soumitra Choubey and Santhosh S for guiding us through the project. Learned a lot about first principles thinking and prioritizing user-first product design over business-first. 🙏
