Learn our four-dimensional strategy for systematically getting the Apple PM offer letter: www.productalliance.com/cours...
As you watch this video, pay close attention to how the senior PM uses a structured, methodical approach to find the north-star metric for her algorithm. She brainstorms a dozen positive and negative input features for the algorithm and adds her own unique twist on the algorithm to achieve business goals.
