The Top 10 Deliverables of Product Managers

A concrete view of product work through the artifacts behind vision, strategy, design, and execution.

The idea to take with you

An activity becomes easier to evaluate when you can inspect the artifact and the decision it supports.

What to look for

  1. 01

    Preserve enough context in a vision narrative to make it meaningful.

  2. 02

    Write strategic assumptions so they can change with evidence.

  3. 03

    Assess the usefulness of a deliverable rather than its mere existence.

Keep in mind

A practitioner’s preferred model. A team should not create every listed artifact when a smaller set answers the same questions.
