Gold three silver four! Do you want to be a product manager for the better?

author:Literati

I think that 100% of workers will experience a period of workplace bottlenecks:

It is commonly known as "don't want to do it".

The salary is too small, looking back at 2021, the "money" scene is hopeless
The future can be seen at a glance, and I want to go outside and break in
Overtime every day, silly X leadership
......

There are thousands of reasons to resign, but I still don't know how to get out of the current predicament; what is in front of me seems to be the ultimate problem of life: what can I do? What can be done? Suitable for what?

But then again, when it comes to choosing a career, there are only three things: interest, income, and development.

Take the internet product manager who changed careers as an example...

According to statistics, the average annual salary of most product managers can reach 20w, and the average monthly salary of junior product managers with 1 year of experience can reach 10,000 yuan, and the high salary makes everyone want to become a product manager.

But we have to look at the essence through the phenomenon. This position is called "product manager", it also needs overtime, there will be stupid X leaders, and there are all the common problems of "work".

Can you keep drawing prototypes and writing documents all day long? Can you accept to deal with design and development every day? Instead of simply thinking that I can do whatever it takes to get a "high salary"!

The above difficulties are only stuck in thinking.

The biggest difficulty is that after identifying the product manager who changes careers, how to "change" is the biggest problem.

And the real change requires you to have a clear understanding of this position.

First of all, the ability of the product manager is generally divided into three levels: instrument, technique, and Tao. "Instrument" is to master all kinds of tools, which are weapons; "art" requires you to master various systematic methods, which are tactics; "Tao" refers to all kinds of underlying thinking, which is strategy.

Today we mainly talk about "device", how it helps you quickly grasp the prototype normalization ability and improve product thinking.

Machine, product essential skills!

First of all, if a good product manager wants to express the requirements clearly, it is inseparable from a good prototype. Often a qualified product manager also starts by drawing a good product prototype.

First of all, the prototype is not the final product, but the "quick practice"! So the question is, since you want to be "fast"? How to choose a tool that suits you is hard!

Luckily, I recently discovered a prototype tool, the Glecker RP, which comes with a large number of prototype template resources. When you choose a template, you can enter the prototype drawing interface with one click, and by editing the template, you can quickly master the methods of page design and interaction design, which is a big boon for novice product managers!

Another reason to choose Gfike RP is because the official announcement is that it is permanently free, and there is no need to worry about payment. Reading the original text at the end of the article is free to use.

In addition, the Gleck RP also has a lot of treasure features, enough to make you stop itching Axure!

01 No need to download, online operation

Nowadays, online design tools are favored by more and more people with the advantages of cloud storage, lightweighting, and multi-person collaboration. Gec RP is such an online prototyping tool based on web pages, once you get started you will lament that G&D is really convenient.

The operating system supports Win, Mac, Linux, etc., has both desktop and web versions, and the device supports computers, tablets, and mobile phones; this also means that Gle RP does not need to download the installation package to the local area, and will be automatically updated.

At the same time, in order to make it more convenient for product managers to convey the functional characteristics of the product, the tool of Gleke RP has a built-in flowchart mode, which can directly draw a flowchart in the prototype tool, which is convenient to operate;

When you need to describe product requirements in the future, with the help of visual flow charts, R&D and testing can more quickly understand the process and function of the product, and then evaluate the solution more accurately.

02 Rich materials and diverse interactions

Compared to Axure, it does not need to download the component library, the tool has built-in rich components and 3000+ icons, just drag or double-click the components to start drawing prototypes, quite hassle-free.

In addition, the components and artboards in the page support various types of interaction design, and the interaction effects such as pop-ups or carousels can be quickly presented through the main and auxiliary artboards with triggering methods. And there are anchor point positioning, looping motions, fine transitions and other settings, which are very simple to operate and the effect presented is also very smooth!

A ready prototype can also be shared with other members of the team in one click, just by sending a link to a public demo. Even if you later modify the prototype, the content in the link is automatically updated.

03 Multiplayer online, real-time collaboration

In Gke RP, project members only need to be on the same team to achieve the scene where multiple people can edit the page at the same time. Team members can draw in real time, modify in real time, and update in real time without having to send files back and forth.

See this if you're still in the clouds, don't worry! The official website of Gike has detailed graphics and video tutorials, in the process of my use, once the shell is stuck, a search tutorial, you can tell me clearly!

And, if you still don't understand according to the tutorial, you can directly add their official community, the group not only has official technical personnel, but also many industry leaders, whether it is a question or a group nagging, the group communication is quite convenient!

Two final words

Having said all this, in essence, the product prototype is just a communication tool, which allows the product manager to more easily communicate the functional characteristics of the product, so there is no universal standard for choosing a tool, and the right one is the best!

If this March, you also want to change careers and successfully win the product offer, just imagine: in the efficient interview screening process, how to make the interviewer think that you are a good seedling to make a product?

Through a thin resume or through a simple conversation for half an hour? Or is it by "I can learn"?

Why don't you create more works through RP! Give companies "priority hiring" your reasons!

Finally, I wish you a surprise this March
