Onboarding as a new PM: A high-level 6 week plan
Joining a fast growing, rapidly moving company as a new PM can be daunting for many — it surely was for me, when I joined Gojek as a Product Manager sometime back. I watched a zillion talks and read a gazillion books — still wasn’t easy. That said, I still found this talk and this book pretty useful — so you might want to check these out. I found the video’s application of the OODA framework very helpful and the book’s overall structure easy to adapt.
Nevertheless, I decided to write a post for all folks who take up a new PM role at a fast-paced (technology) company based on what I learned.
