What is a Product Strategy?
Product Strategy
A product strategy is a high-level plan describing what a business hopes to accomplish with its product and how it plans to do so. The strategy should answer key questions such as who the product will serve (personas), how it will benefit those personas, and the company’s goals for the product throughout its life cycle.

Why great managers
focus on outcomes, not output
Does your to-do list today give you a full picture of the scope of your job? Does it accurately portray the responsibilities you hold and the impact you have both on your team and your organization at large?
Probably not, and that’s okay.
Your work is more than your to-do list. And so is your team’s.
But are you treating them like to-do lists or people?
If you’re following a lot of the basic advice out there about managing and delegating to a team, you might be focusing on output over outcomes. Meaning, that advice often focuses on managing activities, tasks, and to-dos. Single actions like completing a report or designing a draft.
And while that’s definitely important, and a great place to start delegating, it’s definitely not the place to end your efforts.

Definition
What is product coaching?
If you put the term ‘Product Coaching’ into Google, you’ll get a plethora of definitions ranging from people who help you build your first startup to ‘trillion dollar coaches’ who work with senior leaders at established tech companies.
However, as coaching becomes increasingly popular for people working in product, a more clearly defined picture of what a product coach is has started to emerge. In this article, we’ll examine this definition of a product coach, what they do, how they add value and what skills and experience they typically bring.
A product coach is an experienced product expert who works with product managers and product leaders to help them get unstuck and deliver on their goals at work.

How to
become a project manager
Interested in becoming a project manager? Whether you want to improve your PM skills on the job or make it official with a certification, here’s what you need to know.
Now that you know why project management is so important and you understand what a project manager actually does, you might be wondering how you can become a project manager yourself.
Being a project manager is a rewarding career. It’s a role that gives you an opportunity to make a real difference to a company’s bottom line. And as demand for project-based work grows, the Project Management Institute projects (heh) that employers are going to need to fill 2.2 million new project-oriented roles each year through 2027.
2.2 million. Each. Year.
That is, to use the technical term, absolutely bonkers.

Tools of the Trade
Long ago before the advent of money, do you wonder how people got their things? Well, they had a system in place called the barter system where if a person wants something but has another thing to give, he would find a person who has the item desired while requiring the item being offered.
What is Trade?
In simple terms, trade is basically an exchange, voluntary in nature between two parties in requirement of each other’s resources i.e. goods and services.
This system is based purely on the concept of need, having a sort of symbiotic relationship in which both benefit each other. In financial terms, trade basically refers to the sale and purchase of assets and securities between two consensual sides.
Trade is a practice going on for centuries with its own variations and techniques. With the old barter system as mentioned earlier, the trade saw the problem that not everyone had something of desire to give in place of obtaining something, so the solution to this problem was the creation of money, in other words, a common desirable item which can be traded in place of anything for a mutually decided monetary value.
