“WHAT Does a Product Manager Actually Do?” 
This is my attempt to make sense of it all, if only for myself. Also, 1st in a series of 3 posts where I demonstrate how to 'organize information for understanding.'

1/2 I attended a wonderful presentation by Temple Grandin this morning. Like in person. I’m still floating on air. It was moving. I’ve read her books and seen presentations online before. But getting the chance to see her in person and talk to her was amazeballs.
I have an audio recording. DM me if you’d like a link.

Happy #DarwinDay everyone! 
This image of Charles is from a work in progress, trying to make the point that comic panels are like members of an ecosystem. Separate, and yet connected.
For years, I've used a chess analogy as an argument for ‘things to think with’ (one of several ‘illustrations’ I use to make a point). I finally wrote about this example!
I’ve been thinking about what a Product Manager does. I was reviewing frameworks like CIRCLES, but felt like that was incomplete/off and (more to the point) doesn’t show *relationships* between different activities. I whipped this up (in preparation for a job interview).
Thoughts?
Pink stuff = what exists
Blue = what we (mostly) control
Purple = where those things overlap

También una newsletter una vez al mes.
Uso #Notion para ayudar a mi cerebro a no perderse en las ramas.
Busco ser social en redes que sean éticas.
