  • Roadmap + prioritization

    RICE prioritization · Strategic vs tactical balance · Customer-commit + sales-pressure handling · Roadmap communication

  • NRR + expansion + churn

    NRR decomposition · Expansion levers - seats / usage / modules · Churn drivers + leading indicators · Activation + TTV

  • Cross-functional + sales-led vs PLG

    Sales-led motion · PLG (product-led growth) · Customer success integration · Exec + stakeholder communication

Practical drills

  • the firm wants to launch a feature targeted at expansion within mid-market + enterprise accounts. Walk me through how you'd approach the V1 design.
  • the firm's NRR is at 105%; the strategy calls for 115% in 4 quarters. Walk me through your plan.
  • Sales wants 3 customer-specific features for top accounts in Q3; the platform team needs 2 quarters of debt paydown; the strategy calls for launching a new analytics product. You have one squad. Walk me through the prioritization.

Smart-question anchors

  • Product + segment - the product's surface area, the customer the PM would serve, the strategic bets
  • GTM motion + cross-functional - sales-led vs PLG vs hybrid, the CS / sales / marketing partnership, the PM's role across them
  • Metrics + experimentation - the firm's North Star + key metrics (NRR, activation, expansion), the experimentation cadence
  • Discovery + research - how customer discovery is run (interviews, CABs, analytics), how the PM owns it
  • Strategy + prioritization - the planning cadence, OKR / roadmap discipline, how the PM influences strategy
