He is a significant contributor in product management communities and is an active member of Product Marketing Hive. He has multiple publications on various topics of product management, including “Breaking Into Product Management”, “Excellent Execution as a Product Manager”, “Refining Your Product Skills”.
With more and more people eager to break into product management, and more companies shifting to be more product-oriented, he found one of the common challenges is not having enough helpful resources and content on how to be a product manager successfully.

Clement shares his insights on how to build the product customers love with the “Minimum Valuable Product” approach with this guide. It is an alternative approach to “minimum viable product” that puts users at the center to define “value”. He points out that one of the common mistakes companies make when implementing a “minimum viable product” strategy is not speaking with target users enough or conducting user research before deciding what “minimally viable” means.
