Built from product expert feedback
“I look for quality of assumptions made, whether someone was able to put themselves in the user’s shoes, and whether they have a plan to measure success.”
“How do you know that the customer needs or wants what you could build? Who could you ask? Validation is very important to me.”
“I’m interested in how a candidate rallies a team around a mission, how do they build investment in the product?”
