Product Management Playbook

Welcome to my Product Management Playbook — a living, practical guide built from real projects, real constraints, and real trade-offs.

Over the last few years, I’ve worked on digital products across discovery, strategy, delivery, and metrics, often in complex environments: regulated industries, public sector, B2B SaaS, distributed teams, and emerging technologies. What I consistently missed was a single, structured place that connects theory with execution.

This playbook is my attempt to fix that.

Product Management is full of frameworks, templates, and opinions — but very little context on when, why, and how to actually use them.

This space is designed to:

• Turn abstract best practices into actionable tools

• Share battle-tested templates, not academic ones

• Document case studies with real constraints and decisions

• Create a clear mental model from problem discovery to delivery
  
  

Everything here is meant to be:

• Practical over theoretical

• Outcome-driven over process-driven

• Adaptable to different product contexts

This playbook is structured to mirror how products are actually built:

• Foundations
  Core product thinking: outcomes vs output, decision-making, stakeholder management, metrics, and common PM pitfalls.

• Templates
  Ready-to-use artifacts for discovery, strategy, delivery, and metrics — designed to save time and improve clarity.

• Case Studies
  Real product experiences, including context, constraints, decisions, and learnings — not polished success stories.

• Frameworks
  Mental models to structure thinking around discovery, prioritization, problem framing, strategy, and decisions.

• Resources & Tools
  Curated articles, books, courses, communities, courses, certifications and tools that actually help in day-to-day product work.

You can:

• Read it linearly if you’re building product foundations

• Jump directly to templates or frameworks for hands-on work

• Use case studies to understand how theory plays out in practice
  
  

This is a living playbook — it evolves as I learn, build, and ship.

If it helps you build better products — it’s doing its job.
