Being scrappy and resourceful as a product manager - Avadhoot Bhambare, Womply

<p>Tune in to learn how to differentiate your product even if you offer something similar to your competitors, why you should integrate user feedback at the very beginning of the development process, and learn about specific situations where seeking customer feedback would do more harm than good.</p><p><strong>About Avadhoot<br></strong><br>Avadhoot Bhambare is a product executive. In 2020, he left his role as Lead Product Manager at PayPal to join Womply as the Director of Product Management. Being resourceful when things hit a tough spot, he tackles problems at their root - or how he puts it “I always look at any problem by solving it structurally”. Sometimes, he bites off more than he can chew by being scrappy and being quick to say that he can do it - but, with a long career working with Olympus, Citi, Cisco, Paypal, and Womply it seems to have worked out quite well for him.</p><p>  <br><strong>SHOW NOTES:</strong></p><p>0:00 | Introduction to Avadhoot Bhambare<br>00:52  | Nickel and dime pricing quarrels: pricing a harddrive <br>03:14 | Creating synergy between UX designers and product managers<br>05:38 | Aligning teams and skillsets at Womply<br>08:36 | Differentiating your product offering in the b2b market<br>10:22 | 3 things you can do when you don’t have enough capital to create your own infrastructure<br>13:50 | Acquiring the skill of thinking from the customer’s perspective OR What product managers usually forget<br>17:53 | Bringing user feedback into the development process immediately<br>19:37 | How to get user feedback before investing money in production<br>21:20 | Difficulties with Olympus: a funny story on language barriers in Tokyo<br>24:35 | What should project managers start doing tomorrow? <br>25:08 | Aspects of product development that money cannot fix<br>25:48 | Should you ask your users what they want you to build?
