Product Manager Track
For PMs on the team. Read Core first, then How Systeric Works.
How Systeric Works is the frame. Everything below goes deeper into each stage of the journey.
The Journey
Work moves through five stages. Each stage has its own doc.
- Discover — define the problem, find the root cause, separate symptom from cause, first principles thinking
- Define — solve it together, size the work, write the story, build the release plan
- Build — support engineering, answer fast, keep the plan current
- Launch — no surprises, release notes first, watch the first hours
- Learn — did it work, what would you do differently, share the wins
Read them in order the first time. Return to individual stages when the situation calls for it.
