What is the Head of Product Handbook?

The Head of Product Handbook is a set of Notion templates designed to help Product Management leaders (Director of Product, VP Product, Group Product Managers, etc) create healthy and effective processes for their Product organization.

These templates work best for Product organizations that follow modern principles of empowerment and design thinking.

Why did I make it?

I’ve found that most of the content available for Product Management leaders centers around vision and strategy.

These concepts are an important component of company success, but equally as important is to have processes in place that enable and empower Product Managers to work toward bringing the vision and strategy to life.

Why should you get it?

They work! These templates are the result of a decade of work in Product Management. They are tried and tested and have been implemented in a variety of industries at a variety of company sizes.

Some specific benefits include:

• Streamlined hiring and interview processes, resulting in a decrease in time spent interviewing unqualified candidates, and increasing the likelihood of hiring a quality Product Manager.

• Improved communication between Product Managers, resulting in an increate in product velocity and a decrease in blocking dependencies.

• Improved collaboration between Product Managers, UX Designers, resulting in faster and more iterative design and experimentation processes.

• Improved communication and transparency between the Product org and other company departments, resulting in more trust and cross-department collaboration on initiatives.
