  7. Product Manager

    StemX International · Hyderabad Current

    Handles clients directly and wins new ones by shaping the initial design phase of a project. Also acts as solution architect and keeps a close eye on the SDLC and the developers' workflow.

How I work

Three habits I keep

Design the first phase with the client in the room.

Winning a client starts with the initial design of the project, so that part is done together.

Write the story before the code.

Epics, stories and story points give developers a clear target before anyone starts building.

Hold zero tolerance for defects, every week.

A weekly sprint call is where problems get named while they are still small.

Beyond the job title

Books, stories and side builds

Books, stories told out loud, and a habit of building things to see how they work.

The standing ovation I never expected

I was representing my country at an event. When I finished speaking, the entire audience rose for a standing ovation. It was one of those moments that makes you want to tell the story from the beginning.

I narrate stories.

Storytelling is a hobby. It is also most of the job when you are explaining a product to a client.
