A message from Lenny:
I interview world-class product leaders and growth experts to uncover tactical, actionable, and practical advice to help listeners build, launch, and scale their businesses. Many of these incredible builders have one thing in common and that’s a strong “product sense.”
What do I mean by product sense? Product sense is the skill of consistently being able to craft products (or change existing products) that have the intended impact on their users. Of all the essential product skills (communication, execution, collaboration, strategic thinking) product sense is consistently rated as one of the most important but it’s vague and hard to learn. It requires empathy and creativity to hone and develop over time.
With each of my guests I dig into their decision making process which ultimately leads to how they have developed their own product sense. Here are a few templates that I built based on their experience and my own as a PM at Airbnb that you can use to develop your own product sense.
