- What documents do you need to work with on daily/occasional basis? - Which software you use to manage all documents? - Are there any difficulties to manage all different platforms to get the bigger picture? (like design in Figma, documents in Google Docs,) How do you organize to find them easily?

Here is the list of most important documents you will need to prepare as a product manager -Competitive Analysis Documents. -Product Strategy and Vision Documents. -Specs and Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) -OKRs, KPIs, success metrics. -Roadmaps Documents. -Designs and Prototypes Documents. -User Journey and Stories Documents. -Release Notes and Scope. I recommend Document360( https://document360.com/) for producing and managing all types of documents. It provides an advanced portal for content creators that includes a cutting-edge editor, category manager, and other features. For your content, you can build up to six levels of categories and subcategories, which can be simply reorganised using the drag-and-drop UI. The Markdown editor allows you to concentrate on authoring text-heavy content, but a WYSIWYG editor is also available for individuals who want that functionality. You can add links, images, videos, callouts, code blocks, and other elements to both editors. With Document360's version history, you can always go back to a prior version and never lose your work.

Definitely the Atlassian suite (Confluence, Jira, etc) and Figma for design as the core tools. Whilst not perfect, they tie in nicely with the processes design and engineering need and are flexible enough for the scrappiness you need in a start up. GSuite, Canva, etc all get a go, especially for anything you need to build for externals.
