So we all know at this point that if somone wants to crack MAANG or any top tier product companies then learning system design is inevitable. And there are infinitely many resources to read and learn about it from an interview standpoint. Usually this would be like how would you design a product X and why specific tech stacks are chosen.

What I would like to know is how people actually make such design decisions in these organizations. It would be great if it can be elaborated on the following points: 

- The processes involved from idea to implementation.
- Who all are involved and the role or contributions made by each person from junior to senior engineers, PMs and researchers and any other people relevant. 
- What are the aspects considered when implementing and what all metrics taken into consideration especially if it is major thing that can effect their current operations.
- Incase the implementation fails, then what happens (fallbacks, rectifications etc)? 
- How a specific technology is decided upon including cases where creating a custom solution is considered?

Any incidents or real life situations that can be shared would be great but I can understand if specifics need to be left out due to NDA/ Anonymity.

Anybody here who has done or has any views on the 12 week course by ISB for product management, is it good or just another gimmick course? Also planning my next move so looking at the next courses to upskill!

ISB product management worth it ?

Consultant

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio.

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

AMA ☞ Founder of a design studio based out of Bangalore

I am PM with around 5 yrs of experience. I’m struggling to take my skill to next level. always receive feedback from management that output isn’t good, mostly that UX isn’t good. what can I do to improve my work?

1. Read books ? 
2. Study successful products from outside ?
3. Listen to podcasts 
4. Work with great product people? but hardly these exist 
5. leave this field altogether?
6. Just have patience and keep learning everyday?

Can experienced people share what has worked out well for them? or point me to some directions?

It's it practice practice and practice or just whatever you did at work was enough?

Product Designers on GV, how did you guys proceed to refine your craft ?

I'm a PM with 2.5+ years of experience. I have a habit of reading product management newsletters. But now I'm planning to start with good product management books. 

Suggest a book that you've read and was practically useful in your work. This can help folks like me facing this issue of choosing between an ocean of books out there.

Suggest the best PM book you've ever read

I am 4 months into my first job as a product manager. I have never coded in my life except for a basic coding course in college. While I am always eager to understand technical concepts and tend to ask a lot of questions around the same I still feel there's a huge gap in communication. 

This leads to poorly estimated timelines, and often difficulty in assessing feasibility of ideas.

I wish to learn more about software architecture, data management systems and the development processes in general. 

While I know I lack technical expertise, I don't want to discount the possibility of this just being a communication issue within the team. This is a series B startup just entering the growth phase, so no proper processes are set up as of now - again something I will have to streamline.

My question is to all the product managers especially who don't come from a technical background - how did you bridge this gap?

Resources for Non-Tech PMs

Role: PM - 1
Total exp - 2 yrs

I have my Interview scheduled in a day for the first round which is going to be on "Product Thinking".

I have never prepared extensively for interviews and frameworks for PMs, being a PM myself :(

Can folks help me here for:

- Sharing their experience of the similar round or same company for a PM 1.

- What exactly will be asked in this round? Is it just going to be guesstimates and product cases? If so what kind of cases.

- Any resources which I can refer to to brush up in a day?
