Cutting through the clutter

One of the most important aspects of our jobs as product managers are cutting through the clutter! There will be a lot of requirements and lots of suggestions, sometimes it gets so difficult to get to the point but its essential. Generally everyone wants all the features and most importantly we get to hear how it needs to be done..

Being a talkative person , I love to hear and participate these discussions. Most importantly it opens up multiple ways of implementing a feature.. The difficult part is to get to the final one.. Sometimes it feels like a maze , cutting through the walls and getting the answers!

Yes cutting through the clutter is definitely interesting , challenging and most importantly its a learning experience. There are thousands of ways to present a solution , and there is no right or wrong way... The end goal is definitely to address the problem..

Here is one metrics I have created and use it for any implementations

The percentage can change depending on the company and the nature of the product. Depending upon the phase of the product /timelines an appropriate implementation needs to be chosen.


Well its not as difficult as it might sound. Its actually pretty interesting!
