We are what we build.

There is no right way to become a Product Manager.

 

My story:

 

Professional:

QA -> Engineering -> Solution Architect (Lead, PS, SE) -> Product Manager

Academic:​

B.tech -> PGD -> MS -> EPGDIB

 

This can be yours too or it could be much shorter or longer based on your journey.

​

Product mindset comes when you start looking at every thing around you and start ​wondering about the following questions around it:

 

1. What purpose does it serve?

2. Is there a better way of doing it?

​

And the 3rd point which differentiates you from the crowd:

    3. If I do implement it in a new way how do I know it worked?

​

So the next time you see something, and it could be anything, just think about the points I mentioned. Here are a few things you can start with:

 

• Leaves on a tree

• A fire extinguisher

• A packet of milk

• Your favourite app
