Top 6 frameworks for decision-making

The text explores the role of decision-making in product management, emphasizing that a product manager's primary value lies in their ability to make informed decisions, often independently, with the aid of various frameworks. It distinguishes between individual and collective decision-making processes, offering insights into frameworks suitable for each context. For individual decision-making, it discusses the CSD matrix, the Golden Circle, and decision graphs, which help organize thoughts, define priorities, and visualize connections respectively. In contrast, collective decision-making frameworks like RICE/ICE, decision trees, and the multi-vote, multi-veto method facilitate consensus-building among stakeholders by prioritizing and evaluating options collaboratively. The text underscores that while these frameworks provide structure and clarity, they should not overshadow the product manager's intuition and experience, which remain crucial in the decision-making process.
