Why I Love the Product Manifesto
Product People are entrusted to take on the biggest business challenges of our day. I love the Product Manifesto because it helps us build better products, strengthen our teams, and advance our individual practice. This manifesto is:
The first of its kind, by and for Product People.
A reflection of the collective input from Product People of diverse backgrounds.
A set of actionable principles that speak to the urgent real-life questions and challenges we face every day.
As part of the working group of the Product Manifesto, it was incredible to watch what started as an idea take root and grow.
First, it became an initiative with other Product Leaders from companies like Facebook (now Meta), Google, and Microsoft. Then it blossomed into what is it today: a project with thousands of signatures and industry recognition. I’m so proud to see how far it’s come, and I hope we can go even further.
What Are The Golden Kitty Awards?
The Product Manifesto launched on Product Hunt in October 2021, and thanks to the support of the incredible community, it rose to #4 Product of the Month. It had some incredible feedback from Product lovers…
“CONGRATS to the entire team on this launch! I’ve been waiting many months for this!”
“This is very exciting to see and I look forward to watching it evolve as it gets out into ‘the real world’. Long overdue for the industry.”
“Love how this can align PMs with a set of principles we can all work towards! Great work!! Can’t wait to implement this in my day-to-day.”
The Golden Kitty Awards are Product Hunt’s way of uplifting and celebrating products like this, that are loved by the community and that have a greatly positive impact. There are categories spanning the tech world, like E-commerce, No code, Web3, Social good, and ‘WTF’.
In the Education category, where Product Manifesto proudly sits, the nominees are quite simply called ‘Products that help you learn things.’ And I’d like to think the Product Manifesto does also does much more than that!
