I write about AI tools and trends from a product management lens. I profile AI products and provide product analyses and synthesize patterns and trends.
As I continue to work with a variety of startups, I've found myself developing product frameworks to help founders more efficiently strategize, design, build and market their products.
A product brief designed to centralize minimal, yet essential product information to maintain cross-functional team alignment and be used to generating GTM materials using AI.
I was determined to answer the question: "What's the minimum data a marketer needs to make a data-driven decision?"
I analyzed the most common messaging data points marketing teams need to monitor and update in order to maintain team alignment and customer trust.
