SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many product leaders struggle with the qualitative and situational shifts required to move from senior PM work into a Director role or to succeed after promotion. This Skill diagnoses where you're stuck (preparing, interviewing, newly landed, or recalibrating) and translates diagnosis into concrete, prioritized coaching actions so you stop applying generic advice and start changing behavior that scales.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adaptive diagnostic flow: One core situational question plus up to three adaptive follow-ups that surface the highest-leverage development gaps.
  • Context-calibrated recommendations: Produces 3–5 enumerated, actionable moves (e.g., cascade maps, handoffs, interview story framing, stakeholder strategy) tailored to preparing, interviewing, onboarding, or recalibrating phases.
  • Framework-grounded guidance: Uses the Altitude & Horizon mental model and named failure modes (Hero Syndrome, Allergic to Process, etc.) to make advice specific and testable.
  • Use cases: Internal promotion prep, external interview rehearsal, first-90-days onboarding plans, and diagnosing persistent Director-level friction.
