Question to all Product Marketers & Product Managers: what tools do you use every week?

by
•
I've been in PMM for almost 7 years and I'd love to see if I'm missing some cool tooling to work more efficiently. 🤔 So, what tools do you use for - user research, - market research, - crafting persona & job stories & user journey, - feature feedback & feature prioritizing & roadmap planning, - developing & implementing go-to-market strategies, - creating positioning, - planning all PMM activities, syncing with the team, managing other marketers & product people in your team Super curious to learn from other product people here 🙂

@mishra_mayank I saw this but we don't use slack. I use it personally for community engagement. Will definitely check once we are using it for internal discussions.

Obvious bias since I work there, but at Coda, we use Coda for the all the above. www.coda.io Some free templates * Product Team Starter Kit: https://coda.io/@coda/the-produc... * Marketing Team Starter Kit: https://coda.io/@coda/the-market... * Zapier's Market Research doc: https://coda.io/@frederique-cast... * Intercom's R&D Hub: https://coda.io/@aislinn/interco... * An inside look at how Figma ships product: https://coda.io/@yuhki/figma-pro... * My personal PMM Hub template (to serve as PMM team wiki/knowledge hub): https://coda.io/@stinger/pmm-hub...

@coda @andrew_stinger I'm thinking to share my PMM process in Coda to give my friends some template to follow. Pretty often designers and developers from my community ask me something like "how to launch my new app?".
Lisa Dziuba
@coda @andrew_stinger Sharing more of "launch templates" will help many folks in tech community 😊 So huge thanks for sharing yours!

I've tried a bunch of planning tools, but fall back to pen and paper and todoist..i did kindof like basecamp 🙃 Other than that, Loom has been good for async communication with @annchichii ! are there any planning tools made for scattered minds?
Lisa Dziuba
@annchichii @graeme_fulton I do a different type of planning - visual planning (kinda brainstorming or strategy with Miro), more structural plans go to Notion/Spreadsheets with decomposed action items (still high level + expected results). Then after I go from "strategy -> key results + possible way to achieve it" -> to the "action item list with dates". The last part usually goes to task management tool, anything from Trello, Asana, JIRA
Graeme
@annchichii @lisadziuba yeah looks a very good and thought-out process, while giving you flexibility at the start.. i guess i have no plan which is why I am not a product manager ...they say 'if you don't have a goal you get nowhere' like being nowhere is bad, i like being nowhere
Lisa Dziuba
@annchichii @graeme_fulton you know me for a long time, I'm super structural 😂
Lisa Dziuba
@graeme_fulton but seriously, if you enjoy the process and the outcome - then it's your way of doing things :) Even the best PMM framework won't be effective in the long run if it makes you mentally unhappy.

@graeme_fulton @lisadziuba hahah super structural. Loom does fit into my workflow making it very easy for asnyc messaging. That's how Graeme and I communicate by tossing each other Looms. hahah I heard https://mymind.com/ a lot so you may want to give it a try also. : )

@sindhushivaprasad I did come across getpause before!
Lisa Dziuba
@sindhushivaprasad and where do you keep your company's wiki? for example, your GTM templates or research frameworks
Sindhu Shivaprasad
@onerinas that's amazing! Could you tell me how you came across Pause? I'd be happy to arrange a demo for your team if you're considering jumping on board.
Sindhu Shivaprasad
@lisadziuba Notion and Google Drive, although we've been known to use Figma to map out and refer to extensive frameworks. We also have some of this information live on our public Playbook: https://playbook.obvious.in

@sindhushivaprasad saw your other comment about obvious.in and now I remember! I thinks it's obvious website or newsletter:) I'll let you know if needed for sure

I mostly use the following tools: Asana: Task Management KosmoTime: Productivity Boost & Time Management & Distraction Blocking (it's super cool with Asana & Slack integration) Miro: Brainstorming & Notes Figma 2.0: Prototype & Wireframe Slack: Communication
Lisa Dziuba
@batikanerdogan thanks for sharing KosmoTime! Never seen it before! Miro, Asana, Figma, Slack = 💛💛💛
