The initial brief was vague; they mentioned customer complaints were increasing, but hadn't quantified the problem or identified which customer segments or processes were involved. My responsibility was to lead the analysis and develop a solution; however, first, I needed to transform this ambiguous directive into a clearly defined"

    "Scenario - I had joined a product in my current company as a PM midway through its development. It is a very sensitive product with a major public services company. As the product was close to its go-live date, it had to go through many checks and many signoffs. A couple of them were through data policy department and the platform department, of which we were using all of the components for our product.

    "I follow a variation of the RICE framework when prioritizing how I ship product features. I start by looking at: Reach: Because the customer segmentation across our product portfolio is so similar, I tend to hold a lot of weight on product features that will maximize our customer reach with a minimal LOE. Impact: After establishing which customer segments will benefit from the product feature, I determine the urgency and estimated impact on each customer segment based on customer i"

It is about me speaking faster when i wanted to get away with a topic that i wasn't confident (may be not backed up with data, or still in process of getting detailed insight of a problem etc.). Whereas when I'm confident I tend to speak slowly or more assertively that made people to follow easily. I welcomed that feedback so from then on when I'm not confident in a topic I became more assertive to let pe"

I’ve got a structured way to approach this, and I’ll use it to explain payment aggregators - like Plaid - and how they enable Open Banking, with a twist about a technical hiccup I’ve seen in practice. Let’s dive in. I start by assessing the audience. Say I’m talking to a marketing manager at Transak - someone sharp but not techni"
