At Intercom, we believe product managers (PMs) should focus on problems , not solutions. Indeed, our first R&D principle is “Start with the problem.” The secret to shipping successful product, then, is clearly defining for your team the problem that you’re setting out to solve. A great problem statement supercharges product development.

Michael Mahlberg taught me something cool last week. We're writing an article together. Part of the article is about forecasts. I was ranting and raving about how to help people see their confidence levels. He pointed me to this slideshare: Lightweight Kanban Metrics (in German). (Don't worry about the language.) Go to slides 24, 25, and 26. I'll use his slides as inspiration when I walk through an example below.

Image credit: Canva The term “Product-Market Fit” can be baffling for a lot of new Product Managers. The phrase sounds great in theory, but in reality, finding product-market fit raises more questions than it answers: What is Product-Market fit? How do I know when I have Product-Market fit? How do I know when I don’t have Product-Market fit? More importantly, how do I find product-market fit for my product?

It’s probably a distant memory but before the technological revolution, shoppers would walk into a retail store and take guidance from salespersons to make purchasing decisions. Salespersons would understand their customers’ needs and preferences and match them with the most suitable products from the inventory. Today, consumers do extensive research before purchase.

Remember that time in an art class when you were given a blank piece of paper and told to draw whatever you want? If you weren’t a creative genius (or that one classmate always trying to impress) you probably sat for a couple of minutes, pondering to great lengths: “Where do I start?”. A similar experience happens in many SaaS products. And it makes nearly a third of your users drop out before they have even started!

Most innovation work proceeds independently from company strategy. As a result, the products that arrive in the market are not well aligned with the company’s goals. This challenge is particularly significant in organizations with transformation-oriented strategies, where innovation must directly support growth, scalability, and strategic pivots.
