Product Manager Interview Questions

Spoke about my most recent role, experience there, and how I came to work in product, having started my career in marketing.

Give example where you influenced stakeholders

I used a OKR (objectives & key results framework), stated assumptions, defined my understanding of objectives, listed key results, Presented certain features I found were important, prioritized them with reasons and drew a roadmap (Aha! Product tool style). To the question of what framework was used to prioritize, I answered effort v/s impact.

I would start with defining KPIs for engagement and visibility to the web tracker tool. This is the problem statement. I would then do a story mapping . The horizontal axis shows the customer journey and the vertical axis shows the priority. This exercise would bring out feature sets and MVP The feature sets and MVP would give me a idea of a product roadmap. Then I would use the feature sets to define epics, user stories. Hopefully this will work

I stated my approach as the following: -gather requirements (quiz the stakeholders + make assumptions) -prioritize -choose the minimum requirements (minimum viable product) -wireframe on whiteboard -write the user stories on index cards (this was compulsory) and place them on a table by priority Then I proceeded in this order, using the whiteboard often, and they asked to prioritize ruthlessly.

I never heard back, i emailed 3 times and he didn't even have the decency to reply to my email.
