My approach to staying current with market trends involves a mix of industry news outlets, news aggregators, social media platforms, and industry-specific newsletters. Regularly reviewing 'TechCrunch', 'LinkedIn newsfeeds', and 'Google Alerts' keep me updated on critical developments in the tech industry.
In my role as an Associate Product Manager, it's vital to understand and respond to these trends. During the rise of cloud-based solutions, I noticed a growing need among our clients for more flexible and scalable solutions. Applying this knowledge, I initiated a conversation with the team about migrating our proprietary software to a cloud-based SaaS model.
This shift not only modernized our offering but also triggered a significant increase in our client base, attributing to its flexibility and scalability. By proactively responding to market trends, we've positioned our products effectively, staying competitive and relevant in our industry.
