Product Management A Week (PMAW) Challenge

Start successful with less backlogs

This challenge helps me when it gets noisy amongst other things but if it helps you in any way then that's fantastic!

  • 3hrs of structured customer interviews (record, transcribe, invite team, but make it optional)

  • Spend 1 hour spent watching a customer complete a task using your product (invite team, record, transcribe, but make it optional)

  • Have a 30 minute presentation with data/insights to the team on a freshly delivered "feature"

  • Schedule a 30 minute team presentation on how their effort affects company objectives

  • Reduce the scope of anything you're working on significantly (1–2 hours)

  • Closely pair with a teammate on something.

  • Take a support/success person out to lunch to learn about their world.

  • Actively seek input from all team members on how you're performing. Make time for 2 hours of work.

Remember to take notes down before you begin and after you've ended. Feel free to share your experience!
