I've been a big fan of Stephen and thank you Exponent for having Ani help break down the roles and paths for PMs.
It'd be great if you could make a video on the different types of Product Managers- eg.: Growth PM, Technical PM, Data PM etc.

I like how he mentioned that you need to influence people when you don't have an authority. This is very very difficult thing to do.

In my first project as a feature PM, I had a tough time understanding the design aspects of a product. Would you be able to share some information about how an entry level PMs can develop design thinking and sense? Thanks🙂

While watching this.. I was going over the different Sr prod managers I was reporting to. Had reported to 3 diff managers in a span of 1 year. Transitions were painful but learnings has been massive.

Can someone help with the approach to solve this?

1. We are a classified for cars.
2. We have a PWA website in a particular market, say Mexico
3. We are deciding if we should launch an app.
4. How should we arrive at a conclusion whether to launch app or not. or how to size this opportunity?
