How to Get a Job in Product at Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple

Have you ever imagined getting a project job at Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, or Costco? You’re not alone! Product managers (PMs) at these big companies often enjoy advantages over PMs at other organizations.

And it’s no wonder. Apple was the first U.S. company to reach a $1 trillion market capitalization. In addition, it is the first publicly traded U.S. company to achieve more than $2 trillion market capitalization. Google clocked in as the third U.S. tech company to reach the $1 trillion market capitalization milestone. The other two: Apple and Microsoft. In contrast, Amazon and Facebook are the 5th and 6th most valuable companies by market cap. Furthermore, Costco, too, has enjoyed an aggressive growth trajectory in recent years.

A PM working at one of these powerhouses can probably expect some unique perks that go well beyond ping-pong tables or subsidized lunches. We’re talking about access to budget, resources, top-tier coding talent, and an envelope-pushing management team all in greater abundance than you’ll find at other companies–the kind of benefits that give PMs the chance to influence products that change the world.

If you want to land a coveted PM job at Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, or Costco, you’ve got to do your homework. Here are the best insights we’ve gleaned from talking with ProductPlan’s friends in the product community and researching advice from current and former product professionals at these companies.

Landing a Product Manager Job at Google

Google looks for versatility, hiring primarily product management generalists rather than specialized PMs with deep but narrow experience. According to a 2017 article by Sujay Maheshwari, Google’s recruiters tend to look more broadly for PMs who are strategic thinkers with a potent mix of technical understanding and business knowledge.

Specific product knowledge seems relatively low on Google’s wish list for a new PM. Google likes to develop flexible product teams and bring fresh ideas and perspectives to multiple products over time. In an email to PM candidates, Google explains it wants product managers who “can easily float through our evolving product lines.”

Other than versatility, what other traits does Google look for in its product management hires? Here’s a snapshot of a few specific attributes outlined in Google’s PM recruiting email.

What Does Google Look for in a PM?

Design centric
Analytical thinker
Technically savvy
Strategic
Cultural fit (“Googley,” as they describe it)

Google Product Manager Interviews

According to Google’s PM recruiting email, interviews generally don’t include those complex brain-teaser questions many people fear. Your consultation may consist of hypothetical questions about how you’d handle specific issues related to Google products, but you probably won’t get complex math questions or abstract problem-solving questions.

What It’s Like to Work on Google’s Product Team

What is it like to work as a product manager at Google? A great source of insight comes from our friend Stephen Cognetta, a former Google product manager who now helps PMs land jobs through his educational site PMLesson.com.

Stephen’s article, A Day in the Life of a Google Product Manager, gives you an inside look at it’s like to be part of the Google product team.

We asked Stephen, “What is one additional bit of insight about working as a product manager at Google that you won’t find anywhere online?”

Here’s what he said:

“Google lends its product managers the faith and ability to build products from inception to launch truly. While there, I launched several products that originally had no staffing or resources. Such products include delightful features such as random number generators and spin a dreidel. As a product manager, I was able to source eager Google engineers, set timelines and milestones, and drive features to completion. It’s an amazing opportunity to have such autonomy to execute on products at Google.”

Landing a Product Manager Job at Amazon

Dozens of hopeful candidates have reported that the interview process can be grueling and last anywhere from several weeks to several months. Consequently, landing a PM job at Amazon is a complex undertaking. Some candidates recommend brushing up on STAR methodology and SMART goal setting before interviewing. Others suggest a little preparation so that you can readily punctuate interview questions with accurate data.

An informative post on InterviewSteps, whose contributors come from companies like Google, Microsoft, and AT&T, walks you through the key areas to focus on when preparing for an Amazon product management interview.

According to the post, Amazon might throw you a few technical questions during a product management interview. Still, its genuine interest is in finding PMs who are intelligent, strategic thinkers who genuinely understand Amazon’s customer-centric approach to everything.

What Does Amazon Look for in a PM?

A candidate’s ability to influence and lead a cross-functional team (including engineers)
The ability to think big and innovate
An ability to deliver results
The ability to take total ownership of your products
The ability to communicate effectively and concisely

Landing a Product Manager Job at Facebook

If you want to work at Facebook, be prepared for a steep competition. For 11 years running, the tech giant has been recognized as one of Glassdoor’s “Best Places to Work.”

According to the company’s Product Management Careers page, Facebook’s PM team embodies those “visionaries who guide new product ideas from an initial concept to full-blown product launch. Along the way, we collaborate with world-class engineers and designers to maximize each product’s impact on the world.”

If you review Facebook’s open PM positions, you’ll quickly find a theme. In many of the job listings, the team calls for “extremely entrepreneurial” professionals. You’ll also see no shortage of calls for PMs prepared to “reimagine” or “innovate.”

This supports one of the major themes of a 2018 CNBC article about landing a job at Facebook—the company wants builders, makers, and people willing to learn.

According to Facebook’s VP of Human Resources, cited in the article, one major mistake interview candidates make is positioning themselves as an expert or, worse, a know-it-all on their job’s subject matter. Facebook wants creative thinkers. It wants to hire people who have the skills to make things happen and a willingness to try new things.

So, what type of background and skills do you actually need to get hired as a PM at Facebook? Here are a few key traits, according to The Product School.

What Facebook Looks for in Product Managers

Product management experience

Sorry, Facebook isn’t hiring first-time PMs, so you’ll need to get some experience under your belt before applying here for a PM gig.

Academic qualifications

This varies according to specific PM positions, but many require a bachelor’s degree, often in technical fields. In some cases, though, a PM role will also allow the experience to substitute for the degree.

Cultural fit

Here again, we see that one of the traits needed to join the Facebook team will be your ability to mesh with the rest of the organization and adopt its core values. In Facebook’s case, that means a boldness, a bias for action, and an interest in building social value.

Landing a Product Manager Job at Apple

Search “Apple product management” under the jobs section of LinkedIn, and you’ll find plenty of opportunities for ambitious and experienced PMs to find work with this world-changing organization.

But that doesn’t mean landing a job at Apple is going to be easy. Employment site Paysa even ventures to call Apple’s interview process one of the most challenging tech industries.

According to an article on BGR, product management candidates at Apple need to be prepared for some difficult and unexpected questions like the following:

“How would you write the business requirements for a toaster?”
“Sequence the following four items in order of importance: cost, design, quality, time.”
“How would you solve an issue if you didn’t know exactly what the problem was?”

Interview Questions Asked by Apple, According to PM Candidates

Unfortunately, we don’t have a brief list of the critical traits Apple seeks in its PM candidates as we did for Google, Amazon, and Facebook. Such a list is more challenging to come by for Apple, probably because Apple prefers to keep such information secret—as it famously does with so much detail about itself and its products.

Still, we can learn a lot about what Apple is looking for in a PM from the types of interview questions that candidates report being asked in their job interviews. For example:

Why Apple? (This seems to be one of the most commonly asked questions across all Apple job interviews.)
What is your favorite Apple product?
What features would you add to [Apple Product]?
How would you design a product to innovate an entire industry?
Describe an incident in which you had to decide with a lot of ambiguity.

One of the most important areas of preparation for your Apple job interview will be to study up on the company itself—Apple’s core values, its mission, its product suite—because its interviewers appear to use Apple’s company details in its questions for learning about job candidates.

And as one product manager who interviewed Apple later explained, “You can’t prepare answers for many of the questions Apple is going to ask you, so just be yourself.”

Landing a Product Manager Job at Costco

Not typically categorized as a tech behemoth, Costco Wholesale consistently ranks in the top five of Forbes “America’s Best Employers.” With a self-described “environment unlike anything in the high-tech world,” the company is the third-largest retailer globally with wholesale operations in twelve countries. Furthermore, net sales in 2020 reached $163.2 billion U.S. dollars. And at the end of 2020, the company had 109.8 million cardholding members. To say that Costco is growth-focused is a bit of an understatement, as “Costco was the first company to grow from zero to $3 billion in sales in under six years.”

Current and former PMs at Costco tend to rate the company’s culture, work/life balance, work environment, and benefits as top-notch. An astounding 96% of PMs at Costco report that they are satisfied with their help, and 92% believe that they are fairly compensated. According to data collected by Comparably, the average Costco PM earns an estimated $140,214 annually, and “compensation is $24,247 more than the U.S. average for a Product Manager.”

What Costco Looks for in Product Managers

Unconventional thinking and creative problem-solving are must-have traits for a PM at Costco. That’s because the company’s success rests on a carefully aligned marketing and business strategy that requires a little thinking outside the conventional box to pull off. Business writer Songlarb (Deejai) Riangkrul explains:

“Costco doesn’t make any money selling retail products. They lose about $40 million a year on their $5 roasted chickens alone. Therefore, how exactly is Costco able to survive in a hyper-competitive, low-margin industry and become one of the most successful companies in the world? The answer is simple — in an ingenious marketing master plan, Costco purposely sells a few items at a loss to drive customers into their stores. In essence, Costco’s business strategy revolves around losing a few small battles to win the business war ultimately. Furthermore, Costco isn’t in the business of making money on their retail products; they’re in the business of making money on their annual memberships.”

Customer-Centric

For example, a company in the business of making money primarily on memberships must invariably be deeply customer-centric to maintain this strategy. It’s no wonder that genuine product job opportunities emphasize a passion for its members and an unwavering focus on end-users.

Similarly, other traits the company looks for in product leadership include the ability to adapt and collaborate, familiarity with crafting user stories, ease working within a complex software dev environment and on complex dev projects, and a fine-tuned ear for understanding business needs.

As with Apple, prospective PMs should prepare for a product interview at Costco by studying up on the company itself—Costco’s core values, its mission, and its philanthropic activities, which it highlights as a critical aspect of its company culture. Moreover, the company’s business strategy depends on keeping satisfied members coming in the door. But Costco also seems to care about making the world fair and equitable genuinely, so ethical alignment on a personal level can’t hurt your chances.

Getting a Product Management Job at Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Costco, or Other Top Company

There’s a fantastic Business Insider article on the traits and qualifications you’ll likely need to land a job at a tech giant like Google or Apple. For instance, researchers (at Paysa) reviewed employees’ resumes in various departments at several of these tech firms and found some common traits among them.

Here’s what those researchers found these tech companies are looking for in product managers.

Leadership
Project management
Customer service
Strategy
Cloud computing
Product marketing
Enterprise software

Indeed, that’s a lot of skills to develop! And it helps explain why the competition for PM jobs is so fierce at Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Costco. We hope this post gives you a better understanding of the skills and experience needed to land a job. And if you happen to find yourself in an interview, don’t forget to let us know how it goes!

Finally, once you get your dream job, learn how to navigate your first 90 days as a product manager:

This 21-year-old makes $65,000 in her first project manager job

Welcome to Paycheck to Paycheck, where workers with the same job across the U.S. share how much they earn, how they got to their salary and their best negotiating tips. Ready to join the salary transparency conversation? Apply to be a part of the series here.

In this installment, a 21-year-old shares how she makes $65,000 working as an associate project manager in Jacksonville, Florida.

Madison Das just started a new job in January, but she’s pretty sure she’s going to get promoted in a few months.

She’s not being presumptuous — her new employer told her as much. Das, 21, lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and started working as an associate project manager with a start-up this year. While interviewing, she was struck by how the hiring managers asked about her career plans.

“They told me, ‘We don’t want you to stay in this role for more than six months,'” Das tells CNBC Make It. “My department director and my direct supervisor are both women, and they both told me, ‘The intention is to bring people in to have them grow.'”

Das checked the company’s LinkedIn profile and saw many of its entry-level employees were promoted within their first six to eight months. For Das, it was a sign the company was invested in keeping their employees around.

Das accepted the company’s offer of associate project manager and now earns $65,000 in base salary. By the end of the year, Das expects to be promoted to the level of project manager with the earning potential of $100,000 a year.

TikTok launched her career change

Das studied biomedical sciences, chemistry and sociology in college and applied to medical school but was rejected on her first try. She took some time to think through her next move and picked up marketing jobs at a few local small businesses.

The Covid-19 pandemic made her want to jump into health care, so in June 2020, she took a job with a health-care network to develop a text-based app where patients could connect to their doctor. She enjoyed working across teams to create trainings and operations materials.

Das earned $20 per hour and, after a year, got bumped up to $20.90 per hour. But she wanted more pay and career growth and felt it was time to change jobs. As she thought through another career shift, she landed on project management TikTok.

“It was honestly TikTok as a platform that helped me put a name to what I was doing, find value in it and then be able to pursue it to what it is today as my career,” she says.

Through TikTok clips, Das realized the type of work she enjoyed doing — documenting workflows, creating training materials, managing projects — and learned about getting certified in project management through Google. She completed the six-month course within six weeks and began applying to jobs immediately. She earned her PM certification in mid-December and landed her new job by January.

As an associate project manager, Das works on her own projects and plays a support role to other people on her team.

“I did it so quickly,” Das says of her career change. “It feels like really anybody can.”

How she’d negotiate differently

Das says she initially found discussing pay in hiring interviews to be “so uncomfortable.”

She did some online research and named her salary expectations between $65,000 and $80,000. But coming from a previous rate of under $21 per hour, “because I was increasing so much, I felt like I was appreciative for anything,” Das says.

She also felt pressure as the sole earner of her household for a stretch: Her husband, who is originally from Brazil, encountered Covid-related delays with his visa and was unable to work for roughly a year. He received a temporary employment authorization in September 2021, but his visa status is still pending.

So when Das got the job offer of a $65,000 starting salary earlier this year, she “just ran with it.” She accepted the package as-is, which also includes a phone and internet stipend, and a 10% bonus paid out quarterly. Das estimates her total compensation to be roughly $73,000. She’s eligible to purchase company stock options each quarter, which she’ll do for the first time at the end of March.

Das feels she’s being paid fairly, as the company worked with her range, and she feels supported on her path to promotion. But, “if I could go back knowing what I know now, I would negotiate, 100%,” she says.

Salary transparency in tech

In February, Das posted her own TikTok going over the difference between her base salary and her total compensation — something she wishes see saw more of when she was researching what kind of pay to negotiate for.

She often saw people, mostly men, posting their pay in the mid-six figures. It included their benefits and stock options but often didn’t name the base salary, which is what she needed to work off of.

Das heard from other tech newcomers that they felt discouraged and didn’t know where to start negotiating. “The internet is one of the easiest ways to get information, but it’s also one of the easiest ways to get confused,” she says.

Das, who lives with the chronic illness cardiac-valvular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hopes posting her own salary breakdown encourages others from underrepresented backgrounds to see space for them in tech. “I am a biracial Indian, disabled woman in my early 20s. Breaking into tech wasn’t the easiest thing for me.”

Das has also grown more comfortable discussing pay with co-workers. Her first week on the job, she asked someone about how stock options work. Her colleague ended up going through her starting salary, her progression at the company and how she negotiated her pay — which Das plans to take with her into her next salary conversation with managers. She feels the start-up encourages a culture of transparency, which makes it easier to talk about money.

Das admits that working toward a promotion and raise within the year “feels like crazy fast development,” but given the feedback she’s gotten from supervisors, she feels “very confident that I’ll be able to accomplish that, whether it’s within my current organization or moving to another.”

Eventually, she wants to work her way up to becoming a tech executive and lead organizations toward “more success, more growth, and more inclusive behaviors long-term.”

Google Project Management – Overview on LiveBusiness

2021. Google Workspace became free for everyone

At first glance, Google is not that generous, but simply made a cunning marketing ploy. Previously, Google Workspace was a paid online office for business, and all other people used free Google services (GMail, Drive, Calendar, etc.). And now they have become happy users of the free version of Google Workspace (with which it is morally easier to switch to a paid one). True, they did not have an admin panel with the ability to manage users and applications. The design will just change a little (the left panel will appear) and the Google Chat application will appear – this is an analogue of Slack with the ability to create work rooms – Spaces. It will also be possible to mention other users in the texts of letters (the key is @user_name) and add these users to tasks.

2017. Third-party applications can now be connected to GMail

Previously, integrating CRM or collaboration system with GMail was possible only by installing a browser plugin. It is not comfortable. Now Google has added the ability to connect add-ons to GMail in 2 clicks and without installing plugins. The add-on opens in the right column. Moreover, these additions work not only in the web interface, but also in the GMail Android application (in iOS they will also work soon). 8 add-ons are already available in the G Suite Marketplace, including Asana, Trello, Wrike. For example, the Wrike add-on lets you quickly create new tasks right from your inbox. And when the user is notified of a modified task, all details, including images and comments, are automatically available in Wrike’s interactive interface. Right from the letter, you can enter into a discussion, change the status of tasks and perform other actions.

2017. Wrike users will be able to work with tasks directly in Gmail

Project Management Platform Wrike continues to integrate with popular services, creating a convenient workspace for users. Today, Wrike is one of the first native Gmail add-on solutions. Wrike for Gmail saves time switching between tabs and searching for information, and allows you to work on tasks right from your web mail client or Android app. The new add-on allows you to quickly create new tasks from your mailbox. And when the user is notified of a modified task, all details, including images and comments, are available in Wrike’s interactive interface. Right from the letter, you can enter into a discussion, change the status of tasks and perform other actions. The add-on is available to all Wrike users on the G Suite Marketplace.

2016. Kanbanchi – project management system for G Suite

It turned out that a nice service for project management in G Suite – Kanbanchi – is a product of the Saratov web studio. And although the service is still focused mainly on the Western audience, it is still worth recommending it, because. G Suite (Google Apps) still doesn’t have its own project management tool. Kanbanchi allows you to create kanban boards (on which tasks are organized into columns according to their status, such as “ideas”, “to-do”, “in progress”, “done”). This allows project members to break down work into small steps, keep track of deadlines, and track overall progress. There is integration with Google Drive and Calendar. The basic features of the service are free. And the paid version ($20/month/user) provides additional paid features: network diagram, time tracker, corporate identity.

2016. The Deskun GMail project management system now has an Assistant

To make getting started with the Deskun service simple and understandable for new users, the developers have added an assistant to it in the “My Account”. With it, creating new projects, setting up queues, auto-replies and filters has become even easier. With help tips, you can optimize and use Deskun for both customer support and task management. So, when creating a new project, the setup wizard will prompt you to select the item “Customer Support” or “Task Management”. You can then step by step set up Deskun to work with customer tickets or manage tasks.

2016. Deskun – project management system in GMail

Online collaboration systems have been trying to kill email for a long time, but so far no one has succeeded in completely abandoning email. But what if we embed a system for collaboration in the mail? Deskun is a new collaboration, project management and customer support service that runs inside the Gmail or Google Apps Mail interface. All tasks and tickets in it are ordinary letters. Those. you can assign tasks to employees by sending emails or converting incoming emails into tickets. The service is integrated into the Googlemail interface thanks to the plugin for Chrome. Price starts from $0.99/month (for 3 users and 1 project).

2014. Worksection integrated with Google Drive

Project management and collaboration service Worksection can now be connected to a Google Drive account. Now you can create text documents, tables and presentations directly in Worksection. This option is present wherever it is possible to attach files (to messages, tasks, and also to projects). Editing will be available to all employees who have access to this file (task or subtask with the file). In addition, all of them will be able to edit the document at the same time and see the history of changes. You can also disable editing documents using a special switch.

2011. Wrike released a free project management system for Google Apps

Wrike is one of the best project management services (and not only because it was created by our compatriot). It is really very convenient to work on tasks together, in particular thanks to integration with email. In the west, Wrike is hugely popular and connects 2,000 new companies per month. Wrike’s customers even include Salesforce, which recently created its own similar toy, Do.com. But in our country, Wrike has not become as popular as Basecamp or Teamlab because it is quite expensive (starts at $49). /mo for 5 users) and did not provide a free version. But now this defect is corrected. Wrike has launched a free 5-user version for the Google Apps Marketplace. Those. In addition to being free, Wrike can now be used in conjunction with Google services: create tasks directly from GMail, synchronize projects with Google Calendar, and attach documents from Google Docs to tasks. And of course, authorization in Wrike occurs through Google accounts. By the way, the 5-user limit applies only to employees of your company. You can invite an unlimited number of external contractors to collaborate on tasks.

2011. Salesforce bought the Google Apps Marketplace champion Manymoon

Salesforce bought the popular Manymoon service, which is known as the best project management tool in Google Apps. Moreover, since the opening of the Google Apps Marketplace supermarket, Manymoon has been ranked first in terms of popularity there. So it would make sense for Google to buy the service, but Salesforce, which is now aggressively grabbing the collaboration and social media market, did. Apparently, soon the functionality for project management will appear in Salesforce Chatter. In addition, for Salesforce, this is the purchase of integration technologies with Google Apps and people who understand this. So we can expect close integration of Chatter with Google services. ***

2010. Google Shared Spaces – a new reincarnation of Google Wave?

Recently, a new project appeared in Google Labs – Google Shared Spaces . Judging by the name, it would be an ideal service for Google Apps. Because after the cutback of Google Groups in Google Apps, there was no convenient way to quickly create a separate workspace (with a wiki, calendar, tasks, files, forum) for a group of employees. However, while Google Shared Spaces is a library of gadgets that were created for Google Wave (for example, “sudoku”, “poll”, “map”, “whiteboard”, etc.). Only now you can use these gadgets not in “waves”, but as independent objects on separate pages. You can create a workspace using any gadget, invite your employees to it and work together there. Each gadget has a built-in chat, so you can chat there. ***

2010. Zoho Projects widget for GMail appeared

Zoho implemented another integration with Google Apps. This time, users of Google Apps Mail and GMail got the opportunity to work with projects that are being conducted in Zoho Projects without leaving their mailbox. In particular, you can create projects in the widget, create a task directly from a letter, assign its responsible person, create a post in the Zoho Projects forum from a letter. You can connect Zoho Projects to GMail in the Google Apps Marketplace.

2010. 3 project management tools in Google Apps

there are many other goodies for online workgroups. However, there are three tools that can be used to accomplish this task. And the first one is Google Sites . You can use Google Sites to manage one big project, or create your own site for every small project (there are even several templates for project sites). Because Google Sites is, in fact, a wiki, then you can comfortably arrange working documentation for the project there. In addition, Google Sites allows you to insert a calendar (Google Calendar), a list of tasks (Google Tasks) and documents from Google Docs into pages. All these elements are very useful for project management, but of course, working with tasks in this version is the weak link. ***

2009. Google Apps: new features, new clients

Google rolled out several micro-updates to the Google Apps office suite last week. First, the Google Contacts service, previously available as an address book in GMail, is now available as a standalone application that can be used as a simple contact manager. Who knows, maybe this is Google’s first step towards creating its own CRM system, which would be a great addition to Google Apps. In addition, the Google Tasks service (also available previously only in GMail) has also appeared in Google Calendar. Tasks are displayed not only in the side widget, but also on the calendar itself. ***

Simple task manager in Google spreadsheets | WEEEK | Blog

When requests from clients begin to grow, and team management is built in the format “we don’t have time to describe processes – we take it and do it,” then at some point you will inevitably be covered by a wave of overdue deadlines, a lack of understanding of who is doing what, easy despair from the fact that clients are waiting for results, and you are buried in tasks and trying to balance between the deadlines for all projects.

If “goosebumps of nostalgia” ran down your back from this nightmare, then most likely you are already looking for a solution to this problem. So let’s get to the point: in this article I will tell you how you can build project management using Google Sheets. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of this solution.

Immersive Google Workspace

Google has a solution for entrepreneurs, especially for remote teams or those working on hybrid schedules. You can read about Google Workspace here, but if the abstract is a proposal for teams, which includes a package of project management tools:

a joint calendar that shows the schedule of each team member;
sharing access to all documents, including a Google spreadsheet with a Gantt chart;
video meetings in Google Meet, which can replace Skype and Zoom;
document templates that can help save time;

a site that you can create without the help of developers, etc.

Not everyone needs the capabilities of Google Workspace, so let’s take a closer look at Google Spreadsheets.

What tasks can a task manager solve in Google Spreadsheets

Planning and visualizing the timing of the project. As a tool, you can use the Gantt chart: a list of tasks, the duration of each task, those responsible for execution, related tasks, deadlines. We wrote in detail about this tool in the article “Gantt Chart: The Illusion of Security”. Therefore, we do not stop there, we drove on.

Google Sheets has a ready-made template that you can take and upgrade for yourself.

As an example, we will use a fictitious Michael, who has his own website development business. He does everything on a turnkey basis: from developing a concept to setting up contextual advertising. In total, Mikhail has 10 major clients at the moment: for some, he saws the site from scratch, for some he sets up advertising, for some he provides support for the site, etc. Projects 10 tasks for each, ranging from a wagon to a small cart.

Before starting work, Mikhail discusses the stages of work and terms with each customer. Then he transfers it to a table and marks the stages using a diagram.

But the diagram is only suitable for planning. It is almost impossible to control the process of the team’s work in this format. Therefore, the next step for Mikhail is to understand how to make the work of all employees more transparent.

Team management. Let’s take sprints from the Agile methodology as a basis. Michael splits the table into the following columns:

one.
Backlog – all the ideas that are within the project.
2.
To do – what we are doing within this sprint.
3.
Doing – what tasks we are working on.
four.
Done – completed tasks.

With the help of comments, the task can be more detailed. Each task in the “To do” column can be prioritized and color coded by him and his teams. When a task is taken into work or completed, it is marked with a color in the columns “Doing”, “Done”. In practice, it will look like this:

Project management. Mikhail has several projects in parallel. Therefore, it becomes more difficult to track the work on each of them. To do this, he decided to create a table with a summary of the deadlines for all projects. So he will be aware of the big picture. For this, Google Spreadsheets also has a ready-made template:

Customer base. So that all information on clients was at hand, he organized the maintenance as follows:

1. Full name of the client.

2. Phone number.

3. Type of client: newbie, second trade, regular.

4. Manager/contact person in your company.

5. Comment.

Pluses, minuses, alternative solution

Let’s analyze Michael’s case and understand what could be the difficulties. Let’s start with the good news.

Benefits of this approach:

order in affairs – you no longer need to remember on which sheet you wrote down the task and whether you handed it over to the employee;
you can predict the timing: the Gantt chart will help you navigate;
you see the load of the team on different projects: a summary table of projects will help you evaluate the whole picture.

Drawbacks:

it is difficult to assess the overall workload of an individual employee – information from different tables;
over time, the tables will start to grow – you and your employees will start to get confused;
human factor and loss of information – there is no history of changes (logs), someone can make a mistake and accidentally delete important information;
no automation – if there are repetitive tasks, they will need to be created from sprint to sprint;
all functionality must be created manually – create tables, think over the organization of information in them.

If after reading this article you realized that you are not ready to spend time building a project and team management structure using Google Spreadsheets, then there is a ready-made solution.

Let’s analyze the capabilities of a ready-made task manager using the WEEEK service as an example:

Task manager: personal and team tasks, subtasks, comments, responsible and observers
Projects and boards for different processes: transparency of work and plans for the near future
Pomodoro timer: work in short sprints so you don’t get overwhelmed
Messenger notification: all important information will be at hand
Knowledge Base: a text editor in which you can create and store corporate documentation
CRM: sales funnels, customer lists and work analytics.

The following sections are under development:

Training: courses and webinars from our partners: marketing, productivity, management. Soon
Users: section for personal and team reviews. Soon
Analytics: the results of employees’ work on tasks. Soon

You can test the service or sign up for a free demo here.

You can try to create a task manager in Google Spreadsheets, like Mikhail, or choose a ready-made solution – the main thing is that the tool helps you solve a management problem, and does not complicate business processes.

If you are inclined towards a ready-made solution, then pay attention to the service with a simple interface that you can figure out in a jiffy. Even if the predecessor of this task manager was a piece of paper.
