Hi! I am Fumnanya, and I started ProductED to help product managers and their teams become better at what they do. I focus on helping them make smarter product decisions, strengthen their product management skills, and create products that deliver real value to customers and companies.
Your Growing Pains?
Lack of Clear Product Vision or Strategy
Is your product strategy losing clarity as your company grows and markets change? Do you struggle to maintain a unified vision that effectively guides your team?
Overwhelmed Product Managers
Are your product managers overwhelmed by competing priorities and stakeholder demands, with limited bandwidth for strategic work in your fast-growing company?
Ineffective Product Processes
Is your product development process inefficient and disorganized? Are these issues causing delays and frustration in your product delivery?
Struggling to Prioritize Value-Driving Features
Is your team building features without validating their impact on users and business? Is this building diverting resources from features that could drive real growth?
Misalignment Between Product and Company Goals
Have silos emerged between your product teams and the rest of the company? Are your product managers struggling to align their roadmap with overarching business objectives, leading to wasted effort, missed opportunities, and a lack of shared understanding?

Elements of a Good Product Strategy
From my experience working with product teams, I've seen many companies make the same mistakes with their strategy. They get excited about new ideas and cool features, and they feel pressured to release products quickly. But without a clear strategy to guide them, their efforts lose direction - like a boat drifting at sea without anyone steering it.
Becoming The Unpopular Product Manager
In the bustling office of a mid-sized tech startup, Sarah, the newly appointed Head of Product, stands before her team. The air is thick with tension. "We're cutting the social media integration feature," she announces, her voice steady despite the collective gasp that ripples through the room. "I know many of you have poured your hearts into this, but the data doesn't lie. It's not moving the needle for our users or our bottom line."
Actionable Tips For Mastering Stakeholder Management
I recently had the chance to share some of my go-to tips on stakeholder management during a webinar. I know not everyone could make it, so I wanted to share the recording with you!
The True Work of a PM: Beyond JIRA Tickets and Status Updates
My recent LinkedIn post sparked a conversation about the true work of a product manager. As a PM, you deal with many tasks and terms: Jira tickets, planning roadmaps, managing stakeholders, and finding "product-market fit." But with all the buzzwords and daily tasks, it's easy to forget the real purpose of our job.
Short Stuff: From Renter to Owner
As product managers, we hold a pivotal role in shaping the direction of products, driving innovation, and ultimately, delivering value to customers. But what sets apart the great from the good? It's the mindset – the difference between being an owner and a renter. The difference between these two mindsets can shape your career trajectory, impact your team, and ultimately influence the success of the products you build.
