OVERWHELMING??

VALIDATE IT BY REACHING OUT TO PRODUCT MANAGERS!

Hi,

I’d like to pick your brain on some idea I have developed specifically targeted at product management professionals and general managers in tech. There’s nothing I’m selling at this stage, I’m more in the idea validation phase. You have great product management experience so I thought I’d reach out to you to get your take on it.

What typical issues have you been faced with when making decisions on a product idea or a concept and how to pursue it? 

What kind of processes, tools or techniques do you have for making effective decisions? Any structured decision-making framework or more ad hoc?

How satisfied are you with the outcome of your decision-making on such new product ideas and requirements?

What do you wish you would have you actually don’t have right now when it comes to making such product-related decisions?

On a higher level have you ever engaged in training courses on decision-making for your role? Is there any reason why you have not been following any formal training  on such decision-making techniques and framework?

Nice, because my idea and what I’m working on right now is actually related to a comprehensive set of training and tools on decision-making for product owners in Tech. There are many aspects ranging from opportunity cost of not investing in proper decision-making, how to handle business pressure, how to make sense of  too much information, how to avoid blind spots, how to conduct proper data analysis and risk assessment, how to spot fake information or even avoid bad consensus.

How do you feel about such training and tools? Is this something that would be relevant enough to you or your teams for you to invest time and money in?
