Data, roadmaps, and prioritisation frameworks are all great—but can you tell a compelling story about your product? As PMs, we don’t just ship features—we sell a vision to leadership, inspire teams to build, and convince users to adopt. The best product decisions don’t just make sense logically—they feel right because the story behind them resonates. Think about it: - The best PRDs aren’t just specs; they paint a clear picture of the problem and opportunity. - The most impactful dashboards aren’t just charts; they tell a story about user behavior. - The strongest pitches don’t just list features; they connect with pain points and aspirations. Share your story, that helped you drive a decision, get buy-in, or influence a team? Let us know in the comments.

Hey there, And a warm welcome to our vibrant community. This is where you start the journey towards making your dreams a reality. This community is not just about product management. Instead, it is about sharing your aspirations, your ambitions, your goals. And then learning the things that will help you achieve the same goals. And the best way to give back to those who helped you along the way is to pass it forward. Help others who are in similar situations as you were by guiding them and sharing the lessons that you learned in your journey So without further ado, let's do this. Let's do it together. Let's meet our professional goals and help others meet theirs. A short intro to this community: You will find three major sections: Community: where you can post and read all the posts on all topics (or choose to filter the ones that are of most interest) Classroom: this is where you will find all the courses and challenges. You will automatically have access to all the FREE resources and the paid courses that you've already bought. Events: this is where you can find a calendar of all the upcoming (and past events) you can RSVP, get access to sign up links and recordings. With that said, enough about the community, let's know you a little bit more. Tell us: - Where you’re from - What you do - What you’re looking to learn or achieve here - A fun fact about yourself Excited to grow and learn with you!

Hi everyone! Happy to introduce myself: my name is Moriya Kassis, a Product Management consultant. I am happy to share my experiences (the good and the bad) as a consultant with this great group: Over the past few months, a lot of PMs I respect ***genuinely strong ones*** have reached out to me about becoming a Product Management Consultant. And the questions are (almost) always the same: • What daily rate should I charge? • How do I land my first client? • Which contract template should I use? Defiantly reasonable questions. But they’re also the wrong starting point. *** Before I explain why, the link to the Independent PM Assessment: https://moriyakassis.com/the-diagnostic-the-specialist-pm-positioning-grid/ If this topic is even on your radar, open it now and come back. *** I don’t think the goal is to “freelance.” If you’re not careful, freelancing is just employment with extra risk: no benefits, no equity, and a constant background anxiety. That’s what I call the Fractional Employee trap (bottom-left of the map below). Low leverage, because you sell time. Low authority, because you still report into someone else’s priorities. Real consulting isn’t about hourly rates. It’s about Authority and Leverage. So, I built the Independent PM Assessment. It’s not a quiz. It’s a reality check. It evaluates you across the 4 pillars of the Independent System: • Identity: do you actually know who you are? • Operations: systems, or just tasks? • Value: inputs or outcomes? • Sales: waiting… or hunting? There are 7 Independent PM archetypes. I know exactly which one I used to be just a few years ago... Your turn, now; but don’t be passive. 👉 Comment “DONE” after you’ve completed the assessment or comment “SENDING IT” if you’re committing to do it in the next 24 hours. No likes. No saves. Only actions you’re actually going to take. Deal?
