Product Management Fundamentals

Turning business and customer needs into engineering priorities: requirements, roadmaps, and metrics.

Concepts

Turning a vague need into a written, testable requirement — user stories, acceptance criteria, and edge cases.

Structured ways to decide what to build next when everything looks important.

Communicating direction and sequencing over time, without over-committing to dates that will be wrong.

Reading and reviewing technical specs and API contracts well enough to catch problems before they ship.

Choosing the metric that actually reflects whether the product is succeeding, and avoiding vanity metrics.

Keeping engineering, leadership, and customers aligned on priorities and tradeoffs without every conversation becoming a negotiation.
