Finding Product/Market Fit is one of the hardest and earliest challenges you'll face as a founder, product manager or growth practioner. I wish there had been a course when I joined the founding team of Rewarder in 2012. We made almost all of the mistakes that this course tries to help you prevent. We were too broadly focused, we didn't have a clearly defined niche, and we didn't try to determine the most critical areas of long term risk to the business and growth models. I'm honored to host Sachin Rekhi's course on Finding Product/Market Fit. He's put together an incredible guide that helps you identify and validate the most important early risks to your plan, teaches how to get critical feedback (and not just by shipping an MVP), and helps to identify the first growth channels you can pursue once you start to see signals of Product/Market Fit. The course starts May 29th. Click Here to Sign Up ⤵ https://lnkd.in/geDYEuEU

Ahoy, fellow product managers! Ever felt like navigating the stormy seas of product management without a map? Fear not, the AARRR framework is your map to the treasure of success! 1. Acquisition: How do users find you? 2. Activation: Do users have a great first experience? 3. Retention: Do users come back? 4. Revenue: How do you make money? 5. Referral: Do users tell others about you? The name "Pirate Metrics" comes from the acronym "AARRR," which sounds like a pirate's "Arrr!" The Pirate Framework is used to measure and improve the customer lifecycle in a product, especially in early-stage startups. It's helpful for understanding where to focus efforts to achieve growth and can be used to: - Identify bottlenecks in the user journey. - Focus on areas that need optimization. - Align team efforts with key metrics. Use AARRR to chart your course, avoid the whirlpools, and uncover hidden gems along the way. Set your sails, and may the winds of data be ever in your favor! #ProductManagement #productmanager #product

I recently came across this thought-provoking article on feature teams vs. empowered teams, and it got me reflecting on our own journey at Meero. As we've been launching and scaling multiple products simultaneously after our pivot (AutoRetouch ProperShot CarCutter), it's been quite the adventure. And I have to admit, some of the scenarios described in the article felt pretty relatable. 😅 In our mission to disrupt various industries and stay ahead of the curve, we've definitely relied on our feature teams to deliver those critical capabilities. Our product managers have worked tirelessly to make it happen, and their hard work has been instrumental in getting us to where we are today. However, as a CEO, I've also come to realize that I don't have all the answers when it comes to product strategy. I'm not some all-knowing, visionary founder with a crystal ball 🔮 That's why I believe it's so important to empower our product & tech teams and trust in their expertise. What really struck me was how much our approach at Meero aligns with Marty Cagan's philosophy of empowered product teams. When we made the decision to pivot our business model, we knew that empowering our product & tech teams would be key to our success. Since then, we've been working hard to create an environment where our teams are laser-focused on understanding and solving customer problems, prioritizing outcomes over outputs, and having the autonomy to make the right decisions. Is it a smooth transition? Not at all. It requires a significant shift in mindset and a lot of trust. But I'm convinced it's the right direction for Meero as we navigate this pivotal stage in our growth story. By empowering our tech teams, we can leverage their diverse perspectives, deep customer insights and creative problem-solving skills to build truly remarkable products. I believe that the most successful companies strike a balance between a clear, overarching vision and the autonomy for product teams to innovate and experiment. It's not about having all the answers upfront, but rather about setting a strong direction and then empowering our talented teams to find the best path forward. Embracing the empowered product team model isn't easy, because it means letting go of control (never easy for a CEO 😂). But I'm excited to see where this journey takes us. One thing I know for sure: we have the right people on board to make it happen. 🌟 Maxence Bernard François Pallier Clément Boutignon Ludovic Dupuy Christof Opresnik Alexis Boyer Fanny Kauffer Jérémy Foucault Estelle Lichnowski #meero #featureteams #ai #empoweredteams

The time for #zero-interest #productmanagers has ended . . . From startups which have started working significantly with the philosophy of "Growth but not at any cost" the term "zero-interest PMs": •Don't deliver business impact •Can't articulate the commercial case for the work they are doing •Cost the business more money than they deliver • Don't feel comfortable taking big decisions •Don't feel accountable for success of their team As a product manager you are a sculptor of the P&L. You've got to be increasing profitability by: 1. Getting more customers 2. Selling more to customers 3. Reducing costs The way you do that is through deep understanding of customer needs. But solving customer problems alone is NOT sufficient to do your job. There's a lot of work out there that will incrementally improve the user experience and won't change the business fundamentals. How long will your company invest in you and your product team if you're not delivering a return on investment ?

Growing from startup to unicorn? Need to grow the amount of teams working on your product rapidly? Started an adoption and now in need to onboard new teams? Check out this short video explaining how I deal with these situations, especially from a product backlog perspective. https://lnkd.in/eRJdwG-S

What does the magic crystal ball say 2025 will look like for Product Operations? 🤔 My co-author Jake Brereton asked me this last night as we hosted our round table on the Product Ops Playbook (which was a lot of fun too!). 📔 I feel Product Ops - as a role - has now proven itself, and now businesses are asking HOW it can help me, not IF it can help me. Product Ops actually pays for itself (see link in comments for an article on this), we have settled on the value it provides, what it should/shouldn't be doing, how to measure success - and businesses are opening up brand new roles to lap up the strategic support it brings. 💰💪 📈 2025 will see growth again in tech teams, and it is a perfect time to invest in Product Ops to grow efficiently, sensibly, and do more with less. The role is proven, so there will be a lot less nervousness about making that leap for many businesses. 🙏 --- To my peers and friends in Product Ops - what do you think 2025 will hold? --- If you have not downloaded the Product Ops Playbook yet (It's still FREE!), link is in the comments below
