    I've been in PMM for almost 7 years and I'd love to see if I'm missing some cool tooling to work more efficiently. 🤔 So, what tools do you use for - user research, - market research, - crafting persona & job stories & user journey, - feature feedback & feature prioritizing & roadmap planning, - developing & implementing go-to-market strategies, - creating positioning, - planning all PMM activities, syncing with the team, managing other marketers & product people in your team Super curious to learn from other product people here 🙂

    @lisadziuba Flowlu is very interesting CRM fo IT projects. We integrated it with our email campaign, with lead forms and analytics system of conversions. It's very good if you want to automate your business process. Try it.

    Лиза, да все стандартно. Miro, Figma, Slack, Notion, Preview, iA Writer, Intercom, Google Analytics. Раньше ещё был Amplitude, сейчас очень не хватает.

    I've tried a bunch of planning tools, but fall back to pen and paper and todoist..i did kindof like basecamp 🙃 Other than that, Loom has been good for async communication with @annchichii ! are there any planning tools made for scattered minds?
    Lisa Dziuba
    Don’t Panic by Lemon.io
    @annchichii @graeme_fulton I do a different type of planning - visual planning (kinda brainstorming or strategy with Miro), more structural plans go to Notion/Spreadsheets with decomposed action items (still high level + expected results). Then after I go from "strategy -> key results + possible way to achieve it" -> to the "action item list with dates". The last part usually goes to task management tool, anything from Trello, Asana, JIRA
    Graeme
    @annchichii @lisadziuba yeah looks a very good and thought-out process, while giving you flexibility at the start.. i guess i have no plan which is why I am not a product manager ...they say 'if you don't have a goal you get nowhere' like being nowhere is bad, i like being nowhere

    @annchichii @graeme_fulton you know me for a long time, I'm super structural 😂

    @graeme_fulton but seriously, if you enjoy the process and the outcome - then it's your way of doing things :) Even the best PMM framework won't be effective in the long run if it makes you mentally unhappy.

    @graeme_fulton @lisadziuba hahah super structural. Loom does fit into my workflow making it very easy for asnyc messaging. That's how Graeme and I communicate by tossing each other Looms. hahah I heard https://mymind.com/ a lot so you may want to give it a try also. : )

    @vlad_korobov wow, it's interesting tool. I was doing my life planning in Google Spreadsheets. I have checkbox for every week in the year, divided by main life zone: 🧡 Family 🥦 Health & Beauty 📚 Self Development 🧘‍♀️ Relax 💰 Fin 🧠 Work

    @vlad_korobov btw, what is pricing for Timestripe? I can't find it on the homepage

    @vlad_korobov @mishra_mayank that how it works - you are making a product people love and people are recommending your Product everywhere)))
    Vlad Korobov
    @lisadziuba That is exactly what you can do in timestripe boards and you can link goals from your boards to time horizons like day, week, month, year, life... So a goal for today could be related to Work list and another one could be related to Fin. And your weekly goal could be related to Relax and so on. I hope you can give it a shot!
    Vlad Korobov
    @lisadziuba But what I do is creating a board per each life direction. Inside each board I could have multiple lists... imagine when inside Family you have column per each family member

    In my opinion, tools don’t matter as much as systems. Whether you use Figma or Sketch, as long as you’re able to solve problems and get to your desired outcomes, either works just fine. However, systems are important to steer us in the right direction. A good system ensures we are not aimless in our endeavors. I recommend OKR system for product managers.

    If you use Slack, I would recommend using https://Poppins.me , it helps Leaders manage all their imp. Slack messages/important clips, etc right inside Slack. You can do a bunch of things with these clips.

    @taggartbonham I'm okey with Jira :) probably most marketing people hate it but I find it very structural
