A Guide to Components for Product Managers
Slides John Masterson recently used in his discussion w/ mentees of The Product Mentor. Synopsis: Drawing on my own experience as a naive Product Manager, the goal of this talk to increase awareness into the world of front-end JavaScript components. Specifically how to research these at the start of a project to avoid going into production with the wrong ones. The Product Mentor is a program designed to pair Product Mentors and Mentees from around the World, across all industries, from start-up to enterprise, guided by the fundamental goals…Better Decisions. Better Products. Better Product People. Throughout the program, each mentor leads a conversation in an area of their expertise that is live streamed and available to both mentee and the broader product community. http://TheProductMentor.com

Editor's Notes
- A natural question arises here around the role of design in all of this. Again, my experience with design teams has ranged from simple mockups through to working prototypes. But rarely is the implementation piece considered. Does your design team get involved in deciding how particular dropdowns will work - or how specific date pickers behave? I'd suggest an integrated approach where you can develop a style library.
