One day, a PM Gege sent a message.
A crowd suddenly broke out in the crowd.
The question is this:
A piece of paper? A pen? Draw pigs? Why draw pigs? What pig do you draw? Why do you draw pigs? Pigs are so cute, why draw pigs?
In fact, this question is mainly about thinking, asking the interviewer nothing.
So all kinds of products began to open their brains. ...
When the demand drops, the product manager must first consider:
Who are the target users of the requirements? Why do you need this? What is the real purpose behind the demand? Is there an analogy? What should be the priority of requirements?
The following is Qin Shu's own speculative investigation direction:
Interpersonal skills: Ask the person who puts forward the demand and get background information from him, so that you can trace the real purpose.
Transfer associative ability: What can you think of from pigs? The growing environment of pigs? What kind of person? By raising pigs for profit? What is the use of pigs? Product managers should consider cross-domain migration.
Observation: you should also observe life more when painting pigs. Good ideas come from understanding and observing life.
Ability to grasp traits: Being able to quickly list the characteristics of pigs also shows a certain ability of information collection and data analysis.
Hands-on ability: The simplest tool for product managers is pen and paper, which also involves some things, such as the ability to express their ideas with drawings, the ability to draw prototype drawings and so on.
Explain the environment and state: consider multiple scenarios when considering the actual needs, and make the thinking system as perfect as possible.
Nangong mainly shows the problem of transfer, showing a deep understanding of current events and information, and has its own thinking.
Lei Jun's "standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly" is also widely known.
It is also a wonderful answer to "analyze those pigs standing on the tuyere" and show your deep thinking about the Internet industry.
If you have enough thinking and knowledge, this method is also quite powerful.
It seems that this is a product manager at work, and his point of view is how to deal with such needs in work practice.
If the boss gives you a vague concept of demand, just pat your head. We want to do XX. What should you do? Let's look at Sosofini's way.
Xiaolong's idea is to directly extract key concepts and then apply them to practice, such as making a brand image. It's amazing to come up with a complete plan so quickly ~
1, directly regard the problem object as the product demand (Xiao Jing, Qin Shu, Soso Fun)
2. Expand from asking questions to areas that you are familiar with and can show your advantages (Nangong Luo Qi, an interviewed girl).
3. Directly extend the problem, come up with a practical scheme for a certain scene, and show the execution (Xiaolong)
Although there are few samples, it can be seen that most people's first reaction thinking mode is conservative, which needs to be improved for product managers who need to create (nao) dong (da). Usually you can look for similar problems, think from multiple angles and do thinking gymnastics!
In fact, unlike math problems on campus, we all know that in the real world, there is no standard answer to any question. The most important thing is to dare to think and do, and to show our abilities in all aspects in our answers. The final answer is not important, the key is to reflect your bright spot, thinking ability, logical ability and so on.
The success of this girl has some luck factors, but luck is also a kind of strength. Being able to apply what you have learned is also an ability. So non-computer majors don't have to worry too much, maybe sometimes it's their own advantage!
Autumn is coming, and all the products and babies are cheering!
