The reflection and summary of making products

Although is a girl, but do like simple, practical, organized, groundbreaking products, no doubt now responsible for this product is very in line with my requirements ~ Thank Heaven ~ ~ Haha ~ ~

A look at the time, just do the product half a year, can not help but to come to a reflection and summary. Simply a large brush, think of where, just say where.

I am a product recruit, everything is still in touch roll crawl, product values are still set up. Work hard to do products, or responsible for this product began, and this has been a free state, dabbling in other hobbies went. The product history is formally counted, should be from this year to do this product start. God is not joking, I this recruit, as soon as the product manager, usually in addition to product planning and design, but also manage a small team of four people. Do not know my eldest brother will see this in the future how to feel, estimate probably thought this bastard also too wild, interview is not so said. Well, don't pull it off, continue to reflect and summarize.

1, product manager, interactive design, visual design of the consistency and differentiation

During the university began to be interested in products, read a bunch of big truths, or do not understand what the product manager is, what to do. The internet is full of theories, sometimes newer than girls who buy new clothes more often. A user experience the most critical, a will to grasp the details, a will be to change the world, one will be a product Wang, a variety of concepts, see much, natural theory can also set a set of, but the end of the boot from the itch of the state, the idle. At that time, I still agree with Suger the definition of product manager is to have a good idea, design and planning, and can launch a group of people to achieve such a thing, sounds very cool look ~

Practice, there is no lack of experience Suger said the correct place, but there are deficiencies. Especially in the practice process, the product manager, interactive design, visual design of the consistency and division of the more understanding.

Product Manager is responsible for the product, need to plan the overall situation of products, grasp the general direction of products and information structure, measuring operations, market, technical reality, to game or weigh the most cost-effective or the highest benefit of the program. The Product manager is responsible for the product from scratch, he can translate the user's needs and feedback into a solution that can solve the problem, according to the actual use of the scene Planning department product information structure. Product managers need to have strategically, kapitalmakes, overall and partial grasp of the product, but also need to understand the user's psychology, professional knowledge. Product Manager is like a film director, a banquet chef, a concert conductor, to be fully sensitive to the full state and local details of the product.

If the product manager is the product from scratch, then the interaction designer is from the "excellent". Interaction design is to refine the initial scheme into a more reasonable interactive mode, which makes the user's experience more natural and smoother. If the information architecture set by the product manager is correct, it will be more conducive to the fluency of the interaction design.

Visual design is equivalent to packaging. A delicious food, exquisite color and flavor and taste. Visual design basically in the "color" of the head, not only to look good, but also to help easy to use. Visual guidance, consistency, and product fortune-teller is very important.

2, users will only tell you they need faster horses, and product managers know they want a car

For user feedback This, the industry is also an extraordinary controversy. It is undeniable that the product is growing with the user, the product growth is also the user's needs and feedback driven, but the product form, but not to listen to the user pointing points. Good product managers need to be able to pass through the user feedback of the Vientiane, the essence of their needs and the solution of the form. If you listen to the user feedback of various changes, then such products will eventually sibuxiang or lose the soul of the product.

On the other hand, this does not mean that the user feedback is not important, user feedback is still important, but you have to know how to use it, to master it, rather than being led by the nose. If a product manager is really aware of the product, he is able to order the resolution and choice of the priority of feedback, primary and secondary points, quickly take the essence to its dross.

3, the design of products must be from the user needs, user real scene set out.

This remark must also be a cliché. There are not many people who really do that. Too many theories, too many frames, too many limitations, too many egos, too much laziness, and most of the other distractions, most product managers rarely follow this path. If the form of a product is not rooted in the user needs, user scenarios are difficult to go in the long run, it is difficult to bring users a good experience.

4, the product is progressive, iterative type.

In the Internet age, products are newer and faster than traditional industries. Products are also in the grasp of the principle of the situation constantly groping, optimization, reconstruction, and then optimized. No one can eat a fat man, be patient, do the present product.

5. Project Management

A product manager, equipped with the corresponding research and development and design, is a team. To do a product at a certain stage, you need project management. First dabble in project management, this aspect of knowledge and theory to supplement or need to consult more books and more reflection more optimization. Team communication is established every step of the day, do their best to do a good job, even if it is not able to do the most, but also worthy of their own heart.

The above is the summary of the product, the following is a summary of the mentality.

Have a good ability is good, have a good mentality is more than twice.

1, to strengthen their own direction and judgment

Be aware of the product. Not thinking clearly, to keep thinking about this problem, this is the key to life and death. If you think about it, you will know the direction and make the right judgments. Product is also an individual can make comments, have a better idea, can be a halt.

2, the key is to comply with product principles, the products are good

Everything to product principles for the purpose, do not engage in specialization, not the elite do not admire glitz. Product or team differences, are based on product principles as the core, in order to smooth through, more cohesive team. Do not think that this is my product, do not think that everyone should listen to me, nor the boss said the wind is the wind said rain is rain. Learn to be uncompromising and have an attitude.

3, do not abandon do not give up

The team can not everyone is so positive, there are always a few free state. To uphold the principle of not abandoning not to give up, employing its Director, cohesion and integration also takes time. In good faith, we must repay you sincerely.

4, Welcome to be spit trough.

The Novice product Manager is an easy to be a variety of spit slot. However, welcome to be spit, for the heart of love products, in order to achieve the purpose of doing a good product, was developed, design what the spit a groove really nothing. and is willing to vomit is good, that everyone is concerned about products.

5, go your own way, let others say go

Product recruits, you will naturally feel that you are not reliable, distrust, contempt, etc., but then how, toward the direction of the heart to go straight, and what these people say. Mistakes are inevitable and mistakes are made. Only by focusing on the direction of our hearts can we truly accomplish anything. Don't waste your energy on gossip about others. What to do, what they want to do, there is a direction in mind, Square is not disorderly big chapter.
