Product Managers! When coming up with ideas, don't allow your brain to get blocked by concerns of what is/isn't possible or by constraints/limitations. That's not your job. Assume that everything IS possible, sit back & go nuts ideating. Try it, it's really liberating.

All Product Managers will be AI PMs in the future.
I define myself as an “AI Product Manager”. But I shouldn’t. All PMs should (or will!) leverage AI in some capacity, when they build smart products.

When it comes to getting a job in tech, does your undergrad matter? No, not really.
What matters is the skillset you'll develop, what you'll produce (as part of the curriculum or not) that will turn into a portfolio & the passion you have put into it, as it'll make you shine ✨

- North Star Metric: A KPI. The core metric that captures all value you are bringing in, for that OKR.

Product management without vision is like climbing a mountain without a map. Your team will all climb, but without direction they'll reach different peaks.
Clearly communicate your vision to guide your team towards success and avoid confusion or missed goals.

Making tradeoffs is a huge part of a Product Manager’s day to day life. Ultimately, it’s on you to decide a course of action and there’s no right answer but you do have to confront the complexities of the choices you make.
What are the frameworks you follow for making tradeoffs?
