💾 How to Apply the Amazon Working Backwards Method Well [3 Free Templates]

Hustle Badger is this awesome website I stumbled on when I researched prodmgmt.world competitors.

It’s a great site, and I will gladly promote it (weird name, though).

They just put out a great post on the Working Backwards method. Great, crisp, actionable.

☕️ Shreyas Doshi on Successful Teams, Product and Careers + Live Design Review

I can’t remember if I shared this with you before. Well, it’s worth re-sharing.

This talk by Shreyas is great, and I’ve kept it in my podcast queue for a while, re-listening to various morsels.

On OKRs, first 90 days, good habits, and more:

For something a bit more tactical: I have been re-watching this video of a live design review done well. (If you don’t like Basecamp, that’s fine.)

Who's George?

It’s me

I’m an underdog product manager.

Product management in New Zealand (where I live) is still a relatively immature discipline. I also came into it late via data science and UX. I may be older than others, but I often feel like a rookie.

To become better at my craft, I learn and explore new ideas relentlessly.

Then I share high-quality, tried-and-true ideas that can be used right away.

How I can help you:

• If you want to feel smarter, I’ve compiled my best actionable finds in prodmgmt.world.

• If you need to figure out prioritization in your role, get The Big Book of Prioritization.

See you next week.

— George.
