52questions Coaching Cards

Help yourself – with the box of question cards

Are you a product manager who would like to become even better at your job?
Do you lead a product team and need something fresh to promote your employees’ development?

In that case, the “52 questions” deck is ideal for you: a deck of cards with 52 questions ranging from the simple to the philosophical—all geared towards effective self-coaching.

How best to use the card deck

  • If you’re a product manager, you can pick a card every morning and take 15 minutes to think about the question. You will see more clearly and your actions will be more considered as a result.

  • Team up with a colleague to form a learning group: Each of you answers the question for yourself and then presents your answer to the other. Of course, the other person then gives their feedback on the answer.

  • Take one of the subject areas (e.g. “Get it Done”) and then work specifically on enhancing your strengths in this area.

  • As Head of Product or Team Lead, you can make use of the cards in your 1:1s. You could begin the conversation, for instance, by placing a card on the table and then explaining why the question on this card is important for that day’s meeting.

  • As an Agile Coach/Scrum Master, you can use the cards as a way of supporting the product manager by asking them smart, relevant questions.

How the card deck is organized

The cards are clustered into different subject areas, each denoted by a different colour. There are at least 6 questions in each subject area. These categories are:

  • Understand the Problem

  • Find a Solution

  • Do some Planning

  • Get it done (Implementation)

  • Listen & Learn (Optimization)

  • All forces united (Team)

  • Grow! (Personal)

Example:

  • Listen & Learn: What would happen if you doubled the price of your product tomorrow? How would the product have to change in order to justify this price?

  • Get it done: Where was the chaos this week? Where can I tolerate chaos? Where have I prevented chaos?

What the first fans are saying

“My perfect workout in the morning: I take one card a day and then just write my thoughts down in response to the question. It’s fun and always gives me a little kick up the backside as PO.” Jennifer Heitzmann, eSailors

“I use the card set to prepare for my 1:1s with the product managers. It reassures me that I haven’t neglected any topic areas.” Konradin Breyer, Ex-CPO Freeletics
