28 Production Manager Questions And Answers

21⟩ How you can demonstrate that you can manage products?

When answering this question you also have the opportunity to briefly touch on a previous area/question that you may have felt you didn't answer too well - however you have to be brief, no detract in any way shape or form from the original question and ensure you don't give the impression that you are laboring any particular point or trying to get one up on the interviewer. For example if you where previously asked about stakeholder management and you didn't feel that you gave a full and impressive answer - then touch on your experience on stakeholder management while speaking about a project you have worked on.

25⟩ how you interact with customers/users?

If we've gotten this far and you haven't talked about being the voice of the customer, getting out and talking to users, doing any type of user research, I'm already concerned. This is your last chance to convince me you can be the voice of the customer.

"I once interviewed someone who worked at a company that thought user research was a waste of time. She had zero budget and worked in an Agile environment. She struggled to get requirements out ahead of her engineers. And yet, when I asked her this question she told me all of these constraints. But she didn't stop there. She was working on a shopping mobile app and she told me about how during her lunch break she went to her local mall and asked people to try it out. It didn't cost anything. It didn't take very much time. It wasn't perfect. But it was much better than nothing. Be that person. Find a way."

28⟩ How you can decide what to build?

This to me is the heart of product management. You may have said a lot of great things, but if you don't have a great answer to this question, we are done. There are lots of good answers. But I'm looking for a mix of things. First and foremost, have you put thought into this. If you just ramble off an unrelated list of things, we are done. Second, I want to understand how you balance all the competing inputs: user feedback, business needs, the CEO's pet feature, engineering favorites, time to build, cost, market needs, and so on.

This is a great question for gauging how well someone understands the business context in which they work and the market in which their product sits. It's also a good measure of critical thinking. If you want to move on to an in-person interview, you better nail this one.
