Evidence
What happened in the session
Ovsanna came to the session with a clear goal: to understand where she currently stands in Product Management, what she needs to improve, and what she can do to be considered for Product Manager roles.

Action plan
What to do next
1
Strengthen product analytics - Get comfortable defining KPIs, setting success criteria, and using data to understand whether a product or feature is delivering the expected outcome.
2
Develop stronger communication skills - Practice clearly explaining the problem, the reasoning behind decisions, and what the team needs to do, especially when working with challenging or resistant development teams.
3
Build confidence in product decisions - Practice presenting and defending thinking, challenging assumptions, and making decisionsin challenging situations.
4
Create more space for Product Management - Her current role already gives her exposure to product work, so the next step is to deliberately spend more time on discovery, prioritization, metrics, and product decisions rather than being pulled primarily into project and operational tasks.
5
Prepare a strong PM portfolio - Turn 2–3 real projects from her current role into clear product stories: problem → discovery → decision → MVP → metrics → outcome → lessons learned. This will help her demonstrate her PM capabilities during interviews.
