On self-cultivation of product managers

Once I was the host of the Pmcaff Hangzhou event, the theme of the meeting was to discuss the product manager's self cultivation, and then I summed up some methods with you. In my opinion, this should be a universal mentality and methodology, not only for the Internet product managers, but also for other struggling friends in the working field.

1 Set goals

What do I want to do? Why most people are obsessed with trade-offs, because they don't know what they want.

Who do I want to be? There's an idol in the heart, so there's always a way.

2) Customary observation

Look at the user, observe the details of the user's behavior, such as purchase, click, complain, always have a regular

Look at products, observe the details of their products, such as the use of experience, business data, supporting the allocation of resources, always can be improved

See colleagues, observe their temper, habits, preferences, always understand

Look at opponents, observe their strategy, layout, service, can always learn

3 Diligent Practice

My aim is: experience is the fastest way to cultivate, other methods are ancillary, or the resulting

Used to validate ideas, carry out every detail of the test of thinking, and no designer has the ability to muddle through reality and not be able to cheat

Used to experience products, not all user experience can have KPIs, not all KPIs can reflect the status of the product, want to get the primary information, not to see the report, not the parrot, but to work!

To experience the process, every family has a difficult to read, not all the difficulties will be written in books, blog, experience can be matched with these three words: "You Know"

4) Adjust the mentality

To have a peaceful state of mind, to accept the reality of the imperfect, don't start to do things very ambitious, perfect, realistic, step, modest and cautious

To have an open mind, frankly face their mistakes and other people's criticism, calm the ground to others misunderstanding and complaining, positive ground to others advantage and competition

To have entrepreneurial mentality, selfless pay, there is a sense of crisis, dedication, perseverance, music in the process

Must have the rigorous mentality, does not pat the head, does not conform, the thorough questioning, certainly, this is also a kind of custom

To have a courageous mentality, "understand" to "implement" between the thing is called courage

To have a humanistic mentality, more caring people, thinking about each other's habits and interests, more to pay less, more Thanksgiving less complain

5) willing to reflect

Reflect on your failure, don't fall in the same place two times

Reflect on the failure of others, try to use the failure of others to guide their success, not every time to pay their own tuition

To reflect on the success of others, this is a way to be validated, first to understand and play with individuality, "innovation" is not to deny this road, but the road to a wider

Reflect on the nature of the problem, your observation is a book, the phenomenon behind the essence, as long as serious thinking, the answer is in the observation

6 Active Learning

My aim is: if you do not do a good job before five, do not try to benefit from the following methods too much

To find a kindest, a friend who can scold you or tell your faults is the most precious treasure, and do not stay away from TA because of the unpleasant advice.

Find an organization, birds of a feather flock together, an organization will always be similar habits, similar thinking, similar backgrounds of people to concentrate, mutual learning efficiency is very high

Read a few books, the book is a lot of people to refine the essence, can greatly improve the efficiency of thinking and systematic

7) Practical precipitation

To record, to be clear, not to be clear, not to be clearly written.

To share, knowledge of each transmission is a process of collation and verification, "teaching" in the "learning" is similar to the truth

To carry out, understand the truth may not be done out, made not necessarily perfect, practice is to test the truth is the only standard, but also the best way to consolidate knowledge
