Turn ambiguity into clarity - that's the job

Ambiguity is a big one for me, because at the end of the day, the PM job is really ambiguous. Good answers are people who put structure and a way forward through the ambiguity.

The core job of a product person in general is to turn ambiguity into clarity. And if you think about the job of a product leader or a product manager, everything is ambiguous all the time. It's like what's my role on this team? What problem are we solving? Who's the target customer? What prototype is going to solve this particular problem?

Product management is clarity and conviction. You bring clarity and you have conviction.

I just think that that's where product people thrive. The idea of being able to take all of these crazy inputs, trying to create a very structured model to figure out, 'Okay, what is true? Where do we have conviction? Where do we have questions? What are the most important problems to solve?'

What I need to learn to be successful is how to take very ambiguous situations and consistently drive more and more clarity over time.
