1. You Speak 'Designer' - Use It
Your superpower is understanding the why behind design decisions. When developers push back on complexity, you can translate the value. But remember: your job now is to defend the timeline as much as the user experience.
2. The "Perfect" Trap
In UX, we iterate until it feels right. in PM, we iterate until the deadline hits. Learn to accept "good enough for V1." Your fastidious eye will see flaws others don't—document them for V2, but don't let them block launch.
3. Scope Creep is the Enemy
Because you know how easy it is to add that "one little button," you might be tempted to say yes. Don't. Every little addition adds testing, QA, and potential bugs. Guard the scope like it's your sketchbook.
4. Empathy for the Team
You know the pain of vague feedback like "make it pop." Don't be that PM. Give clear, actionable tickets. Use screenshots. Annotate them. Your team will love you for it.
