Thank you! This is very helpful for me as a software engineer and business analyst I like being a leader and want to move to product management. I have 5 years of professional experience yet it's really hard to get the position when you don't have product management experience. A lot of these companies also have around 5 interviews and it becomes a draining process! I am practicing as many interview questions as I can with my own answers of course but this helps a lot!
Good afternoon Richard. I hope this comment find you well. I saw this video of yours, in preparations for my product manager interview, and guess what I GOT THE JOB.

Oops I missed that, done :) and thanks again
I've worked with product managers at small and large companies since the early 90s, and while what "product manager" meant varied a lot, in no case was a product manager a leader of a team. They *worked* with teams, but the were not "managers" in the personnel sense. That said, I really appreciate this video.
Thanks for sharing and I am glad you enjoyed the video! I have this for you too: th-cam.com/video/tgrJ6Lirk2w/w-d-xo.html

I have a question about the value proposition steps. In step 2, you said you would write a brief description of how each benefit adds value to the product? What do you mean? Could you give me an example? Do you mean like you list out the benefits of a product (or the uses of a product) and then explain how each benefit (or use) is valuable to a customer?
Do you mean like you list out the benefits of a product (or the uses of a product) and then explain how each benefit (or use) is valuable to a customer? YES.
Hi Richard, this is really helpful content. If you are asked, how will you stay a couple steps ahead to ensure you can combat challenges, how will you respond?
Good planning and organizational skills are key, as are researching and encouraging team ideas :)
Can you share same for the role of product specialist.
Brilliant
Thanks
This is awesome

@@CareerVidz Great thanks, its been an enormous help!
Could you please help us with these Questions we always face : How do you deal with two clients having different Strategies to a product vision enablement, but poles apart? In short, how to deal with conflicting stakeholders?
What happens if the two of your clients wants a product to be delivered with different conflicting features- How do you deal with this?
I will do a video on managing clients soon for you :)
Many thanks for the video. Shouldn't the Step 3 of the "value proposition" be step 1 ? Because somehow you need to first relate to the customer and the problem that they have regardless of solutions that might in general exist for them
Interesting take!
Hi Richard. What's a good way to address this question: One of the bank's existing credit products is not performing as well as expected. What steps would you take to identify the root cause of the problem, and what actions would you recommend to address it?
Great question! Is this for a PM role at an investment bank?
@@CareerVidz this question is for business process development manager 🙏
Realistically, nobody communicates like this but it's a good blueprint.
Hope the content helps :)
Wish me luck. I have my interview tomorrow.
I HOPE YOU PASS!

Step 4 relies on customer metrics. Could we include benchmarking in there as well? Product teardown and competitive analysis
Yes 100%
13.30.... you should always work 2 systems. What does this mean
What do you mean, I can't see this at that time? :)
I am just 16 yrs old and want to do PM. So what I should prepare for pm??

What is the most important trait/skill for a Product Manager to possess? Why?
Good question! I would suggestion using prioritisation or communication. Here is an answer for you: th-cam.com/video/1RR8GrOFNfs/w-d-xo.html

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Chewtorial
NICE
Tha k you for doing this, but I have to say your answer about conflict is surprisingly incorrect. Lack of conflict is a sign of low trust on a team. We need to be able to have healthy conflict often to make sure all ideas are heard and we reach the best outcomes for our customers.
OK.
Correction
.. How much do you involvement do you currently have with your customer
Is this the correction?
@@CareerVidz there is an extra 'do you' before involvement.. that threw me off as I was thinking..
That's a great question btw.
Answers are a bit generic. Need to apply SAR approach to all of them.
S - situation
A - action
R - results
E.g. just saying I have the expertise to do the job does not cut it. The expertise needs to be supported by examples.
I disagree
@@CareerVidz Why do you disagree? Curious. Thanks.
I agree. Answers are good when you are starting as a new PM or new to the field. If one is a seasoned PM or a business analyst moving to a new role, the answers have to be substantiated along with examples. A candidate providing generic responses will not be seen as strong as the one who provided examples in each of his/her responses. You can't explain "how will you resolve conflict" unless you have actually experienced or used techniques to alleviate the difference of opinion.
