If you don't set yourself up for success, you will fail as a product manager! 😫

These are the questions that will guide you:

❓ Why are we doing this?
❓ What does success look like?
❓ How will we know if we’re doing it well?

These questions act as a compass 🧭.


Newly suggested product features?
🧭 The compass will guide you.

Any internal conflict?
🧭 The compass will guide you.

Any stakeholder requests?
🧭 The compass will guide you.


At the start, it is essential that everyone agrees on a shared vision for the product’s success and on a set of metrics that will be used to measure progress.

⛵️Sticking to the compass cannot guarantee a product's success. But it will make collaboration a lot smoother and help you draw the right lessons. Even if the product stays behind expectations.
