5. A PRODUCT MANAGER HELPS THEIR
TEAM (AND COMPANY) SHIP THE RIGHT
PRODUCT TO THEIR USERS
Josh Elman, greylockpartners, 2015
6. Good product managers know the market, the product, the
product line and the competition extremely well and
operate from a strong basis of knowledge and
confidence. A good product manager is the CEO of the
product. A good product manager takes full responsibility
and measures themselves in terms of the success of the
product. They are responsible for right product/right time
and all that entails. A good product manager knows the
context going in (the company, our revenue funding,
competition, etc.), and they take responsibility for devising
and executing a winning plan (no excuses).

43. BUSINESS CASE
MUSICA.LY INSIGHTS (ALEX ZHU, CO-FOUNDER AND CO-CEO )
‣ Started as an eduction app, idea was to present short educational videos,
combining Twitter and courser
‣ failure: learnings
1. UGC content must be light
2. against human nature
3. young people (time, creative…)
‣ Growth hacks
‣ App SEO (longer tittle got better position in appstores/google play)
‣ utility first, community second, monetisation after (fun -> fame -> fortune)

44. BUSINESS CASE
MUSICA.LY INSIGHTS
‣ How musicaly has built community first place
‣ building app community is like building a land/economy concept
‣ leveraging existing social media (fb…) for network effect
‣ Pivot after 1,5 years, change the value prop from video music
creation to lip-synch -> got off the ground (core value concept)
‣ keep a constant conversation with 100 US teenagers through
wechat
‣ musica.ly is based in Shanghai, leverage local US culture, US trained
workforce
