Rik's Journey to Product Management
- Rik Higham, a staff product manager at Deliveroo, got into product through a non-traditional path.
- He transitioned from physics to software engineering, then web development before discovering product management at Skyscanner.
Simplified Advice vs. Reality
- Product management advice shared in conferences and articles is often simplified and doesn't reflect the complexities of real-world scenarios.
- The 'devil is in the details', and the journey/learnings are often omitted, making practical application difficult.
Data and Insights
- Don't solely rely on data; combine quantitative data with qualitative insights for a complete picture.
- Ensure data accessibility, auditability, and a clear understanding of its collection methods for better decision-making.
