Product Management playbook/Module 1 · Foundations

Day 08 / 100 · Foundations · The product trio

Three minds. One decision.

The best product decisions come from a PM, a designer and an engineer discovering together, not passing documents down a line.

Product Manager

Valuable & Viable

“Will they want it, and does it work for the business?”

Brings: customer, market and business context

Guards against: building the wrong thing

Product Designer

Usable

“Can people actually figure it out?”

Brings: behaviour, flows, prototypes

Guards against: confusing, unused features

Tech Lead

Feasible

“Can we build it, safely, in reasonable time?”

Brings: what's possible, cheap shortcuts, risks

Guards against: expensive or fragile builds
