What did the product manager think ?, Product Manager ideas
Do you think you have a lot of ideas, but do little? Have you found that a product suddenly appeared on the market is exactly the same as your original ideas, and then you begin to regret it? Have you realized that some of your ideas have been lingering in your mind, but have not been put into practice yet? However, after a period of work, many people may encounter such problems. As countless Internet product managers, there may be more such cases. For example, if I want to sort out the marketing methods and methods of a public account platform, I have been stuck in the idea stage and have not implemented it, and this idea often appears.
When you make a product, you will also find-analysis-to achieve this process. I believe our colleagues are familiar with this process. Some people say that the process of discovery is the most critical. If it is not found, there will be no subsequent process. However, I think these three links are crucial. If there is no such step, this product is not a complete product. But the most important part is the data analysis process, analysis is a link linking the entire process.
Discover ideas-creativity or fantasy?
In normal times, whether at work, in life, or even in a daze or dreaming status, sometimes it is caused by access to different scenarios, existing products, and other products, A thought may suddenly flash in your mind. This idea may be a solution to a problem, a better product design logic, or a new product form, the most time is the brainless imagination. Such thoughts are very clear in the flash, and may be blurred in the future. I can't think of them any more, in this case, the phrase "a good memory is better than a bad pen" takes effect. You can take the pen or open the mobile phone notepad to record it.
If this idea is a new product idea, it may become a product idea. After recording the idea, if there is a follow-up process, it will become a creative idea. If there is no such idea, it's just a fantasy, and you're stuck here.
The idea of being an IT migrant workers' product manager's website navigation station originated from the fact that many of its website links were invalid and the site information was too old when PM265 was used, the content of many sites is no longer updated, and the webmaster himself did not continue to maintain (and then continued to maintain), so he came up with the idea of creating a PM vertical navigation station, it mainly serves new users who have just become product managers. It can also be used as a tool to store their favorite URLs and free up their favorites.
Analysis
What we can list now, such as market analysis, competing product analysis, demand analysis, and data analysis, are all types of analysis. There are still many methods for analysis, such as addition, subtraction, and mining. The main purpose is to find out the cause and effect of a concept and analyze the feasibility of a idea. Many ideas may be abandoned after analysis, because they do not realize the value or are too naive. What remains behind is truly valuable ideas. These ideas may need to be accumulated and may be suitable for implementation directly.
The reason why analysis is a link between the past and the future is that it can tell you whether the ideas you have found are valuable and whether valuable ideas can be implemented. If the analysis is complete and the analysis is stopped, it is irresponsible.
With the idea of creating a navigation station, I had an independent blog website and a forum at that time. Site maintenance was relatively experienced and it was relatively easy to add a new site. In addition, you do not want to maintain static pages. This requires a large amount of work and must be released each time. Therefore, you have to create a background management system to add and delete site information. In order for the most popular sites to be displayed all the time, a reasonable sorting rule is needed. At that time, these technologies supported me to do this. In addition, the collection of site information was time-breaking, except for some on the PM265 and some on my favorites, most of the data is mined by category, which consumes a lot of time.
Final Implementation-test the analysis results
The implementation of ideas is inseparable from the implementation. practice is also the only criterion for testing truth. If the analysis results are not actually implemented, it is still unknown. The design and implementation process of any product is a testing process of previous efforts, and may also find omissions in the analysis process.
When it comes to practice, we can find that the idea and analysis are relatively simple. The hands-on process is complex and time-consuming. The core of the navigation station is the complete site information, but it takes a lot of time to input the information one by one. The background management program is a little bit better, but it takes a lot of effort to sort bare metal. In terms of popularity, we only need to count the number of outgoing clicks. The more outgoing clicks, the more popular the site is, but this is not conducive to the virtuous circle of the navigation station, as a result, statistics on the number of entry points are added, which affects sorting based on bidirectional statistics of entry points and out points. This will also benefit the development of the site.
The purpose of writing this article is to encourage yourself to implement your ideas. You can also use this process for reference. If you start to take action, you will probably get an unexpected result.
How can we change from a programmer to a product manager?
Then, the program development team is equivalent to the driver. Taxi hailing can not drive, but to the destination, know the above things, can save money, save time. Drivers can pick up different people and routes, as long as they can reach their destination ." How can a driver become the taxi user? Zhihu had a wonderful discussion with a group of professionals: I am a programmer and want to become a product manager. On the one hand, I feel that I am more talented in this regard, on the other hand, I don't want to work on machines. I am keen on communication and communication. Is it difficult for me to transfer my job as a product manager? Since it is unclear what Internet companies need for product managers, most of them feel that only large companies have outstanding requirements for product managers, but small companies do not have obvious requirements. Zhu jiaqi: Maybe Every programmer has a kind of love for programming. I'm afraid there will be a stage where the product manager is a natural way out: 1. The technology is too tired and boring (because there is no love, programming is the same as other art or technology, and there will be no great achievements in repetitive work and accumulation for years) 2, I think the technology is relatively humble. 3. It is not easy to find objects for technical purposes (nerdy look, obesity, and other undesirable factors .) 4. Vanity (product manager is an experience and has business cards or something. Programmers are migrant workers )...... That's why I want to become a product manager! It can call programmers to get revenge! If you have your own project, you can directly talk to the senior management. After talking about a bunch of nonsense, I want to say that this is not just my idea. Many people around me have abandoned a technology from the very beginning. My idea is that it is much happier to be a technology than to be a product manager. First, you only need to care about your own things. There are not so many things. Second, it is easier to think about technologies. Third, in fact, the product manager is not as good as you. You can strike, if your technology is enough nb, but he can't, because he has a boss on his head, and you are down here. Fourth, product managers are no more easy than program writing, and sometimes even more difficult than program writing. Because the program is a versatile product, you can create a reliable product instead of copying a set of models. Fifth, the product manager is also mixed with programmers. Because of the influence of the circle, they can also look like nerd, obesity, and so on ...... Therefore, if you think that the program is too hard to work as a product manager, it is estimated that this choice is terrible. As a result, we use our own shortcomings to beat others' strengths. However, if you want to make more efforts by doing a program, then I want to say that the change is still very huge and it is very practical for people. In general, the final product manager wants not to write code at all, unless: Your company is extremely large, and the product team can form a football team. Or you already have a very awesome team and a very good boss. In fact, the above many things can be summarized as one sentence: as a child, the teacher has been abused by various types of abuse, so when I grow up, I also want to become a teacher to abuse the teacher's baby. This idea is the same. Finally, I wish you all the programmers who want to be the product manager can make their it representatives work for you. Chen Xiaoyu: you are not a good programmer. Maybe you have not discovered the beauty of the program, the charm of programming, the true love for the job of the programmer, and have not really become a programmer. A real programmer will not feel that he is facing a cold machine, but a friend who can realize his ideas. Or this environment in China leads you to this kind of idea. You are not interested in programmers. I think people should follow their interests and transform to be product managers without scruples. A successful product manager must have certain technical skills to determine whether a function of a project needs to be implemented and whether the technical cost is too high. At the same time, you can avoid being fooled by your subordinates. Your technical skills are sufficient to determine the authenticity of the words "this function is very difficult to implement. Finally, the product manager needs technology to implement his own ideas, and the programmer can implement his own ideas. Not product managers are creative, but programmers are creative. I think that programmers are happy. Flamingtop
