ktjnyc commented 3 years ago

HI Alex, I updated the image on header to match the name of the guide and left a comment or two in the interview prep section. I haven't done PM interviews before but hear they are much different than a typical behavioral interview so I think it would be helpful to add other prep/examples specific to product

alexilee commented 3 years ago

@ktjnyc Appreciate the changes and comments. I will take a look!

nagesh23nayak commented 3 years ago

Hi Alex, This is a good document. I made some comments. Please see if they could be incorporated.

alexilee commented 3 years ago

Thanks all for the helpful comments. Ready for leadership review.

alexilee commented 3 years ago

Posted a reminder for leadership in Slack #admin channel. Still waiting on leadership review.

Olivia-Chiong commented 3 years ago

I've done a first past review, picked up on a lot of formatting errors. Made a few suggestions.

ExperimentsInHonesty commented 3 years ago

@alexilee I added some comments to the template file. The one where we are setting standards for guides. I assume you have not had the person or people who are managing that process do the review since you have not incorporated the items I have addressed in that issue. It applies to this guide and several others. So its more efficient for me to post on that guide. If you need me to I can post the link from that other issue here.

alexilee commented 3 years ago

I'll find it. Thanks.

Olivia-Chiong commented 3 years ago

@alexilee Please update the following

Progress: How much progress have you made on the issue?
Blocks: Are you facing any blockers?
Availability: How much time do you have to work on it this week?
ETA: When do you think it will be completed?

SaashaG commented 3 years ago

For devs adding this guide to the Toolkit page: the guide card Illustration and image credit information is in the Toolkit page Figma file (blue rectangle on bottom left)

alexilee commented 3 years ago

Guide is reviewed and complete. Ready for leadership approval.

ExperimentsInHonesty commented 3 years ago

Before I review it, did you see this issue hackforla/product-management#238 which also seems to have a draft doc in it as well as members questions?

SheIsBukki commented 3 years ago

@alexilee Thanks for doing great work on the guide. Here are the notes from the Leadership review (guides team)

[ ] Please update the following (see the guides in resources for examples of formatting)
[ ] Footer
[ ] I also noticed that there are no screenshots in this guide but maybe it doesn't need one because of the type of guide it is. I have added a few resources you can use to review this guide and edit accordingly. Thanks again for your commitment.

Resources

When completed with changes

[ ] remove the "Review Guide" label and replace with "Leadership Review" label
[ ] move to Review column on project board

ExperimentsInHonesty commented 2 years ago

The author has removed themselves, this guide is ready for someone else to finish up.

Additional suggestions for improvement:

See notes from Bukki above https://github.com/hackforla/knowledgebase-content/issues/13
It also needs a reference to LinkedIn. Meet with Bonnie and discuss
