What 200+ PMs Taught Us About Product Management in Real Life
summary
Research with 200+ PMs finds five concrete, recurring problems: unclear impact, weak customer insight, poor stakeholder trust, chronic resource shortages and messy prioritization/roadmaps. The talk shows specific fixes: measure impact with simple metrics, run lightweight product discovery (problem interviews, small experiments or no-code prototypes), map and align stakeholders, break features into testable slices, and prioritize by evidence. Results show delivery capacity often exists but focus and evidence are what really change outcomes.
