My PM Philosophy

A product manager's role and focus can differ greatly based on the industry you're in as well as the size/type of the company you're working for. So how do we define what makes a good product manager? As someone with a background and experience in physical product development as well as user-centered-design, Kristine had to adapt to not only being a product manager but across different industries (sports tech, fashion tech and consumer tech) and companies of varying size. Over time Kristine has built a framework of the key ingredients to being a good PM regardless of where you work - her PM Philosophy.

About this event series:
Yelp’s mission is to connect people with great local businesses, and one of the teams working behind the scenes to make that happen is our five star engineering and product teams.

Playing an active role in our community is a value that we have strongly prioritized over the years. Typically we would invite you to come to Yelp’s HQ to network, grab a slice of ‘za, and learn about the technology and culture behind Yelp. With stay-at-home orders across the globe, Yelp (like many of you) has had no choice but to adapt to these changes. We understand that this is a strange and challenging time for many, so we’d like to invite you to join us as we navigate this new normal for the tech community together.

To stay connected, create space for folks to collaborate and share some of the things Yelp has been working on, we are launching our very own virtual tech talk series. This series of talks will feature Yelpers from engineering and product and will focus on themes such as career development, technical skills, workplace challenges and Yelp’s response to COVID-19.
