I have shared a lot articles from some of my favorite companies over the the course of this newsletter. However there is no denying that there are a lot of companies I dont admire which are successful because of a great product culture. One of the companies which everyone loves to hate is Meta. Despite my reservations on some of their products, there is no denying the massive impact it has had on the social norms of the world in the last decade.
The post I cover today is about a specific product of theirs. A product that eclipses ebay and Walmart. It is a product I have used and was amazed with the efficiency and the output it had. I am talking about Facebook marketplace. I always wondered what drove facebook to explore marketplace as a product and when you see an article from the lead PM on the same - you have to read it.
This is one of the best posts on product management I have read recently. It covers so much about product management in one post - from stakeholder management to executive buy-in to product discovery to pivots. Its a superb post that I will now share once every month. Do read this fully!
