Product management requires constant learning, curiosity, and an agile way of doing things. We want to make sure that our products’ vision is in the right direction and that our product serves our customers in the best possible way. We want to make sure we are solving the right problem! We take a lot of time to listen to and communicate with our customers, to try and understand their needs, so that we can make the best solution for them. We also communicate with other stakeholders and product development teams so that there is a mutual understanding between everyone.
Our team makes a lot of decisions, both big and small. Big decisions ensure the right direction for our products, while smaller decisions ensure that features are produced in the right order and the right way so that they bring as much value to our users as possible. It is also our job to make manuals, although we try to make our products so easy to use that the user does not even have to read them!
We do our work very independently, and at the same time in close collaboration with other teams and with each other. You can always count on getting help from a teammate and you are never left alone to figure out a complex problem. Our days are never the same, and we enjoy the fact that we can design our own working days like we can design the best user experience for our clients.
In product management and in user-experience design, you must try to step in the shoes of a customer, understand their needs and delight them with more than they could ever hope for. Easy!
Our team members' backgrounds and skills are diverse and that is a very valuable thing. When brainstorming and planning product features, a wide variety of different perspectives enriches the result.
We come from many different backgrounds, including computer science, visual arts, UI/UX design, service design and product management. We love solving problems and we also think we are rather good at it! 😊 We take our work seriously, but after work ‑ we also think we are a pretty fun company. Other skills and experiences we have lie in the fields of data -analytics, software development, customer understanding and in data engineering.
As our work consists of a lot of communication with our customers and with our co-workers, we use a lot of Slack and Teams heavily. Due to remote work, the use and importance of them has increased greatly. We use Jira to run everyday product management and development, and Figma is used to design user interfaces.
