A quick one - trust your gut, especially if you are new
It keeps happening to me even after 2 decades of product management experience. If you come into a new business and you look at a product and something just feels off, and the data tell you everything is fine and everyone in the company tells you it's fine for 1000 reasons....
Trust your gut and dig. Worst case is you get to know the data a bit better. It happened to me again in the past month and I could have discovered something serious 3 monhts earlier if I just trusted my gut and what stared into my face. But I went with the group think and kind of accepted notions even though i'm usually quite thorough with analyzing my own data in detail.
If you see me 3 months ago, please tell her. F***
