🧑💻 Thinking Like a PM:
In this last segment, we will leave you off with an activity to practice your analytical minds. In a Product Interview, you might be asked how you would critique a product. In these questions, you could demonstrate your design thinking and assess a product based on its style, usability, efficiency, usefulness, and functionality with regards to the target user.
Feel free to reply with your answers!
