The biggest challenges i think related with how to create effective roadmaps without having an input from the end customer or without able to do market research when the timeline is tight and not possible to do a prior research with the end customer.

I also feel the challenge when we need to develop the right products where the customer needs are changing constantly.

Other than that i think sometime prioritizing the product is quite challenging especially when we constantly bombarered with various idea from various stakeholders.

As a product manager it was my responsibility to ensure that i follow the trends and constantly talking with the customer to ensure what is their needs and pain point and keep several steps ahead at all times.

Actually i find all of the challenge that constantly getting to me is to make sure that i have the resilient and keep me accountable.

One of the most challenging situations was joining a new startup to realize that they did not figure out their core product and that customers were dissatisfied and leaving in droves.

I worked together with the leaders to understand the core issue and the reasons that the customers were leaving. Then together with the team, we set out to map out those core issues and the gaps that we had in our product.

We then worked towards designing a new solution to address those gaps and build an MVP. We were able to launch in the market and address these core customer issues.

Once we launched it, we were able to salvage the relationship with some of our core customers and address this issue with new customers.
