Fully Solved Solutions

The book has fully solved solutions so readers can learn, improve and do their best at the PM interview. Here are some questions and sample answers you'll find in the book:

Product Design

• Imagine you are the Facebook newsfeed PM. In your research, you have found that users crave validation. That is, when Facebook users write a new post or perhaps share a photo or video, they want someone to click Facebook's "like" button. They feel empty when their friends do not "like" it. How would you solve this?
• Brainstorm some app ideas using a mood API. A mood API is an API that has sensors that can learn about your mood.

Analytics

• Estimate how much it costs to run Gmail per user, per year.
• How much storage space do you need for Google Maps?
• Estimate Facebook's ad revenue.

Metrics

• What are the top metrics you would track for a two-sided marketplace?
• There was an 8% drop in hits to google.com. Larry Page walks into your office. He asks you to think and list what the reasons might be.

Hypothetical

• How do you define or create a product roadmap?

Problem Solving

• How would you approach Amazon's challenge of overstocked books?
