Product Delivery (Base Layer)** - Project management - Agile methodologies - Basic technical understanding - Quality assurance These are typically more concrete and process-oriented, making them relatively easier to grasp for beginners. **2. Product Discovery (Middle Layer)** - User research - Market analysis - Customer interviews - Prototyping. This layer requires a deeper understanding of user needs and market dynamics, which is generally developed after mastering basic delivery skills. **3. Product Strategy (Third Layer)** -Strategic planning, - Vision setting, - Roadmapping - Prioritization. This level requires not only an understanding of the market and product but also the ability to forecast future trends and align product goals with business objectives. **4. Stakeholder Management and Communication (Fourth Layer)** Effectively communicating with and managing the expectations of: - Customers - Team members - Executives. This layer involves negotiation, persuasion, and conflict resolution. **5. Leadership and Advanced Decision Making (Top Layer)** The apex focuses on: - Leadership - Strategic influence - High-level decision-making - Change management These skills are typically honed over time and with considerable experience.<img src='https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F_3ZvltXIAAGBfe.png'/> ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/KhodorMahmoud/status/1728777251334799719))
