Welcome to the first season of How To Product!
Each season, we’ll focus on a different aspect of product management. Through examples drawn from across the industry, along with stories of our missteps and occasional successes, we’ll explore and distill the how of the PM craft.
In our first season, we focus on what might be the most fundamental skill of a PM: how to get things done.
We start with a mini-series called Idea to Launch. So, you’ve got an idea: now what? Well, we’re here to help. Across four episodes (1, 2, 3, 4), we provide a crash course on how to turn that idea into reality. Along the way, hear stories of how it can go wrong so that — hopefully! — you can avoid our mistakes. While most relevant for brand new PMs, more experienced PMs might pick up some useful perspective in these episodes — we know we all did when recording.
The rest of the season, we dive into more specific, execution-focused topics. These include how to earn trust on a new team (hint: do what you say you’ll do), an overview of A/B experiments and when to use them, and finally, how to work with remote engineering teams (aka, PM’ing on hard mode).
Please, send your feedback! We’re already hard at work on season 2. We want to hear what you liked, what you didn’t, and what you want to hear more about!
