Ce que chaque niveau doit prouver

Expert

Accountable for the whole product portfolio, the governance behind it and its alignment with sales and engineering.

Your week is about portfolio trade-offs, commitments made to customers and the executive team, and the relationships with the heads of sales and engineering. What changes from senior is that you no longer optimize one product: you decide which bets to fund, which to close, and how the company makes and keeps promises.

Parcours d'étude de ce niveau : VP of Product

  • Product Vision & Mission

    Pourquoi : Lets you carry one vision across several products and a reorganization, so teams still understand why their work matters after the structure changes.

  • Market Positioning

    Pourquoi : Lets you keep positioning coherent across the portfolio, so two of your own products do not compete for the same buyer with conflicting messages.

  • Market Analysis & TAM

    Pourquoi : Lets you back an adjacent-market entry or an acquisition thesis with TAM, SAM and trend analysis that a CFO and a board will actually challenge.

  • Product-Market Fit

    Pourquoi : Lets you judge fit across several products at once and decide where a scaling investment is justified and where the evidence is still too thin.

  • Portfolio Decisions

    Pourquoi : Lets you decide to sunset a product with paying customers, buy a competitor or move users to a new core product, and own the consequences.

  • Portfolio Prioritization

    Pourquoi : Lets you split investment between the core business, adjacent growth and long-shot bets in annual planning, and defend that split when the core asks for more.

  • Product Team Leadership

    Pourquoi : Lets you build a leadership bench of directors and group PMs, plan succession and keep the culture intact as the product organization grows.

  • Hiring & Recruitment Strategy

    Pourquoi : Lets you design the hiring strategy for a whole product organization, including how to recruit a director-level peer the market does not easily supply.

  • Roadmap Governance

    Pourquoi : Lets you set who decides what on the roadmap and how late requests from the CEO or a big customer are handled, so planning stops being renegotiated every quarter.

  • Commitment Framework

    Pourquoi : Lets you decide which dates are firm promises to customers and which are directional, so sales can sell with confidence without forcing engineering into false deadlines.

  • Sales & Customer Alignment

    Pourquoi : Lets you weigh a request from a large prospect against the strategy, and tell sales which deals to pursue because the product can serve them well.

  • Engineering Alignment

    Pourquoi : Lets you negotiate with the CTO how much of a quarter goes to technical debt versus new bets, and explain that trade-off to the executive team in business terms.
