✨ Product Management Lessons Explained Via Memes 👀🔥
1) Managing A Product Is Not Always Pretty 😄

The lesson here: “Think in iterations, not product launches”
The stories of hyper-growth on the first day of a launch is not the norm. In reality, most products start with 10 users, then 100 users, then 1000, etc. Launch is when your chapter one starts and iterations are an experiment. The more iterations you can do, the higher the chances of product success.
2) When The tough Questions Are Asked
The lesson here: “Your buyer is the name on the credit card”.
The buyer is not always obvious, especially in B2B software or double-sided marketplaces. The name on the credit card paying for your product is the buyer. When you’re building products, you need to clarify the buyer’s needs first, then the needs of its users second. Sometimes it’s the same person, and sometimes it’s not.
3) When You’ve Just Done Your first Product Demo
The lesson here: “Strategy is about saying no to many things.”
It’s about saying no to ideas that don’t meet your Product Strategy. At the same time, it’s okay to take on a new idea if it helps you achieve your product goals faster.
