🧑💻 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’ll often be asked questions in the format: How can you make X product better for Y consumer. A general structure to answering this question is to ask any clarifying questions, identify the current user pain points, ideate design solutions to these pain points, and prioritize them using a prioritization framework. Walk the interviewer through the process from design to implementation to launch, and consider how you would measure the success of your solutions.
Feel free to reply with your answers!
