The ultimate collection of PRD templates

Thanks

The Figma PRD template remains my favorite, though (and now we know more about how Figma builds products):

ad. Master Prioritization. Craft Winning Strategies. Easy.

• I recently released The Big Book of Prioritization.

I like this method from @indiyoung so much that I wrangled it into card form for @PipDecks :

A common saying in #productmanagement is “#productmanagers own the ‘what’ and engineers own the ‘how’ ”. While this saying is broadly true, in the real-world there’s a space of overlap where:

When I brought up that the ideas of "desirability, viability, and feasibility" should be maintained into delivery, people said they were too high-level concepts - but I disagree. These ideas *must* cascade down to delivery, or teams won't be working towards valuable outcomes. 🧵

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.
