“Did you take the time to figure out if this problem is worth solving or did you jump straight into building?”

My Shopify colleague Vee McClure and I sat down with Product Coffee to answer questions about product management recruiting. Product Coffee is a podcast where product management Leaders share stories, advice and thoughts on all things product over a cup of coffee.

So what do we look for in Product Managers? Here are a few skills:

• Helps to ship the right products

• Understands and validates customer problems

• Communicates goals, expectations, and solutions

• Inspires the team to avoid inaction and ship quickly

• Measures and shares results continuously
