👉🏽 Who is a product manager (PM)
👉🏽 #1 job of a PM
👉🏽 How do PMs create impact (drive outcomes)

Execution & Metrics frameworks that I used to get the @Facebook Product Manager job

There are 3 types of execution interviews:
1. Trade off between A and B
2. Set goal for a product
3. Root cause analysis

👇👇👇 1. Trade off between A and B

Example: How would you decide between showing more ads on the Facebook News Feed vs. showing a People You May Know recommendation widget?

Common Gotcha: Not identifying the common long term goal between all the options

Working on democratizing experimentation? Here are the resources that I used to 10x volume of experiments at Yelp

1 Good experimentation strategy
2 Focus on people over tech
3 Avoid common gotchas
4 Prioritize for impact
5 Building your own platform
6 Build safeguards

👇 1. Good experimentation strategy

- Furthers understanding of users not just metrics
- Has a strong well reasoned hypothesis
- Ensures you can learn why it didn’t & did work
- Instruments & defines metrics upfront
