Question
Sure, let's consider a hypothetical scenario for a product design question in a PM interview.
The interviewer asks: "Our company is planning to launch a new fitness app. As a Product Manager, how would you approach the design and architecture of this product?
Your response could be: "First, I would start by understanding the user needs and business goals. I would conduct market research to understand our target audience's fitness habits and preferences. Then, I would define the product's key features based on this research, such as workout tracking, diet plans, and social sharing.
Next, I would work with the design team to create a user-friendly interface that makes these features easily accessible. I would also ensure that the app's architecture is scalable and can handle a large number of users.
Finally, I would plan for continuous improvement of the product based on user feedback and data analysis.
This example demonstrates a structured approach to product design, focusing on user understanding, business goals, and design skills.

Product design questions are the most critical part of the interview as they deal with the PM's core work: the design, architecture and improvement of products. Companies use product questions to test an interviewee's core product, user understanding and design skills. To get these questions right, understand deeply what the user and business product goals are. Approach these problems in a structured way.
