Description

Yael Shamir Zalmanov, a Product Group Manager at Fiverr who leads the Fiverr Pro group (five development teams and five product managers), tells how she moved from development to product management seven years ago. The conversation revolves around a central idea: ride the strengths you arrived with, and train the weaker ones along the way. Yael breaks down the shift from a developer's 'productivity' to a product manager's productivity, her method (the Six Q's), and the art of making fast decisions under uncertainty.
