Mayank is a Product Manager with 10+ years of experience building online marketplaces which includes Facebook, Uber (first 5 PMs at Uber), eBay, and Handy (marketplace for home services).
We began with the hypothesis that Product Managers today need an up-to-date, unifying set of principles, and started conducting research into this idea.
At a very early stage, we opened the door to the wider product community so PMs of diverse backgrounds could contribute their ideas and suggestions.
Members of the working group were decided. Working as PMs, they set about defining the main challenges faced by Product People today.
After the problems are defined, it’s time to start thinking about the solution. Actionable advice was distilled covering the entire product creation process.
An earlier version of the Product Manifesto was soft-launched to this community, with feedback gathered through a survey.
The Product Manifesto is now ready for the world, and we commit to uphold its principles.
Declare your commitment to upholding the principles of the Product Manifesto. As a signatory, your name will be featured on this website alongside top Product Managers around the world.
