Product Manager Hub

I collect real product decisions and insights, and send one short email a week.

Join the free weekly email, or share a decision or an insight.

I send the weekly email only after you confirm.

Illustrative example, not a real submission

Situation: A small team could build its own onboarding flow or buy a tool.

Options I considered: Build, buy, or delay a quarter.

What I decided: Delay and test the current flow first.

What happened: The current flow was enough for the people already using it.

What I would do differently: I would watch people use the current flow before I buy or build.

What you get

  • One short email a week, after you confirm.

  • A library of real decisions and insights I have approved.

  • MCP lets you search the library from inside your own Claude.

The shape of what I collect

A decision is the situation and what happened. An insight is one thing learned, and what it is based on.

Illustrative example, not a real submission

Situation: A team was deciding whether to let an AI assistant draft first versions of specs.

Options I considered: Let the assistant draft the spec, keep writing specs by hand, or use the assistant only after a draft exists.

What I decided: Let the assistant draft the first version, then a person rewrites it.

What happened: The draft was faster to start and still needed a person to make it specific.

What I would do differently: I would not ship the first draft the assistant wrote.

Illustrative example, not a real submission

What I learned or noticed: Asking an AI tool to critique a draft works better than asking it to write the draft.

I tried it: I tried it on my own drafts.

Illustrative example, not a real submission

What I learned or noticed: A roadmap review goes better when each item says what would change the decision.

I saw it happen: I saw it on my team.

Leave out confidential information about your employer or customers. The form asks you to confirm that before I can accept a decision, an insight, or a question.
How do I get something removed?
Email ludwigad@productmanagerhub.io and name the decision, the insight, the question, or the address. I will take it down.
