PRJECT INTRO

In the team of six, we pitched, designed and managed a digital productivity tool - FLOW, over its life cycle. We discovered customer needs, defined product requirements, orchestrated the development of the product and solutions to address these needs, took FLOW to market and managed it over its life cycle. We built a product portfolio to balance risk and return and managed product lines to optimize revenues and profits. As designers of a venture product, we managed the growth and evolution of the product and product management from the seed stage to the exit stage in our startup environment.
Our final deliverables including a Market Requirements Document, a Product Requirement Document, a high-fi Figma Prototype, and a Final Vision Presentation. 

“Your brain is for having ideas, not holding them.”

LEARNINGS

LEARNINGS

To launch a successful product in such a competitive landscape, as product managers, we need to have both deep and holistic understandings of user needs, market research, business roadmap in order to find the sweet spots of differentiation along the development of the product. 

Product management is not just about creative design ideas. It delivers a "whole offer" that solves a complete customer problem and delivers a compelling customer experience from ideation to business planning. 

From this project, I learned to manage products as a business on an on-going basis. I had a better understanding of managing the growth and evolution of products and product management from the seed stage to the exit stage, hands on products throughout its life cycle.
