Question

Example of clarifying questions

Clarifying questions are those that seek to understand more deeply and remove any ambiguity or confusion. In the context of a Product Manager interview, here are some examples:

1. Could you provide more details about the user's primary needs and goals?
2. What are the key performance indicators for this product?
3. Could you elaborate on the product's target market and demographic?
4. What are the main challenges this product is currently facing?
5. Could you clarify the product's current position in the market compared to competitors?

Remember, the goal of these questions is to gain a deeper understanding of the product and its context, which will enable you to provide more informed and effective solutions.

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.
