Hiring Product Manager?

Let's start with who a Product Manager is...
If I was to describe it in few words, it would be the person who will be accountable for creating a product that could earn desired profits. A product manager would not just orchestrate the product life cycle to create a compelling product but would also take any extra mile needed to make the product a success... Yeah!
Coming to the point... What kind of traits would you look in to for a person to be product manger of a product/your product? Well! there could be many & many things you may seek in a person to manage the product.
Rather, let's specifically talk about what you should not emphasize on while hiring a product manager:
  • Domain: A good product manager will always be able to excel the domain your product is serving... in a short span of time. Also if the person is interested to take the job, he/she is certain to take over the domain.
  • New to role: That's not a problem! Its equally important for a product manager to understand complete product life cycle processes in a better & thorough way to take better decisions. So, the candidate may have worked on one or more processes of the product life cycle but he/she might be a great fit for the product management role by will, skill, knowledge & the wisdom he/she owns. A mad who wants to create an amazing product & make it a success is all you need.
  • B2B or B2C: Every product has an user eventually, it could be an enterprise user or a consumer in B2C environment or any other end user of any other business/product form. It's important for a product manager to make a product usable & valuable for this end user depending on the business model it follows.

TRIZ... What is it?

Acronym TRIZ means  theory of inventive problem solving .. Wondering how it becomes TRIZ & not TIPS (English Acronym).. TRIZ stands for  teoriya resheniya izobretatelskikh zadach  (as in Uzbek) is a problem-solving, analysis and forecasting tool derived from the study of patterns of invention in the global patent literature. Why in Uzbek? because it was developed by the Soviet inventor and science-fiction author Genrich Altshuller, born in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR, USSR. Following Altshuller's insight, the theory developed on a foundation of extensive research covering hundreds of thousands of inventions across many different fields to produce a theory which defines generalisable patterns in the nature of inventive solutions and the distinguishing characteristics of the problems that these inventions have overcome. Since, I am working over some solutions for some problems & may be some of them could be patented; as I came across TRIZ.. I found it interesting &am

Today fintech & banking industry is more disruptive then any other, let's see what are the most alluring & a bit beguiling trends that the industry is going to follow/following: Blockchain Technically could be compared to singly linked list with rear node pointers. Blockchain could be referred to as a database tech or concept inheriting from distributed computing or distributed database, it was first devised for Bitcoin. Blockchain could be used to support infinitely growing list of records, each record called as block. Somewhat like a node in a linked list, each block contains timestamp data & address to previous block.
