Product Memes Collection

Product Memes Collection

Welcome to memes.

This is a collection of product memes I've made over the years. Sometimes they even have context.

Meme Gold

You should hire May to bring transparency to your org.

Cat sits on top of a pile of carpets for sale next to a weathered but decorated concrete wall. Caption: May has Transparency (top) If you got coin (bottom).

If only we had a Product Strategy

Comic meme with 4 panels. A person asks a genie: "I wish for a product strategy." The genie closes his eyes and poof! "It is done." The human pats themselves and looks around. "Nothing's changed." Genie crosses his arms and says: "Correct. Everyone has one. It's just not aligned. Or it's shit."

What even is a Roadmap?

A boxy old blue car spewing black smoke swerves off the highway onto the exit ramp.\n\nThe highway sigh points straight to "The Roadmap". The offramp is labelled "Shiny Q4 Sale". The car is labelled "Product Strategy".

No Context

Meme from Scooby-Doo, where Fred is pulling off the ghost mask from the antagonist and their true identity is revealed. The masked antagonist is labelled: "Product Management Frameworks for Everyone**. Fred is labelled "Product Conversations". Under the mask, the text reads: "**Only works for 1000+ employee B2C product companies calling themselves a startup."

PRDs are poorly defined.

4 spiderman pointing to each other meme. Spidermen labeled: "Launch plans", "Solution Design", "market Context", "Customer Requirements". Bottom caption: "All in the same PRD?!"

Roadmaps aren't Gantt Charts.

Edna Mode from The Incredibles, from the scene where she yells "NO CAPES!". The caption is "No Gantt Charts!!"

Product Sunset

A meme of a picturesque orange sunset with some clouds. The sun is labelled "Old Product". Top caption: "You've done your work." Bottom caption: "It's time to go"

No Context

Pink shirt girl with sunglasses and a red bow. She shakes her head at the words "Taylor Swift Concert". Happy finger guns at "Product Management Discussions."
This one is self explanatory.

Product career progression vs confidence

A line chart. X-axis is Experience. Y-axis is Confidence. Confidence decreases as you start your first job. Goes up a tiny bit, then plummets to negative at the first political conflict. Goes up slowly until a new job, where confidence spikes back up, then plummets again, but still positive. Plateaus there.

The complexity of budgeting for a product organization

The Business Role of Product Management

Blue bird(BB) and grey bird(GB) talking meme. Grey bird is labelled "Grant Hunter". BB: "PMs need to be technical." GB: "Product Management is a Business role." BB: "What?" GB: "Product = business". Blue bird looks pensive. Blue bird looks worried, turns and says "What?"
