The Secret PM Handbook
JULY 30, 2018
After a few well-received presentations to senior executives, a few colleagues at my new company asked me, based on the positive effect I got, “Can you give us some tips on persuasion?”. I’ve been doing product management a long time, and over time my presentation skills have just naturally gotten more polished. A lot of it seems like second nature to me.

In sales, there’s one number we obsess over – our quota. As soon as one month ends and another starts, we can’t help but ask, how am I going to hit my number?

Agile teams have a lot of moving parts, and it can be difficult to understand where product responsibilities fall across team members.

However, as human beings, our decision-making is constantly impaired by systematic cognitive biases, making it really hard to decide objectively and rationally. For example, we look up to our most successful peers and are therefore biased to follow industry leaders such as Spotify, Soundcloud, or Google.
