Inspired out of a conversation on hiring product managers in the Triangle Area Product Slack room, we're hoping this project provides the product management community a useful enumeration of community qualified interview questions and exercises.

The idea here is to treat questions and exercises like code. Here's how ... at least for now:

1. Create directories for questions and exercises
2. Focus first on questions for the first few iterations
3. Submit all questions as .md files, using the Github markdown format
4. Treat question submissions like code by:

• Leveraging the Github pull request process for reviewing submissions
• Encouraging community conversations to determine whether or not a question should be accepted, rejected, or modified

1. Once we know what we're doing with interview questions, explore and expand an exercises directory

• Let's not spam each other, instead impress us with question contributions and code-review participation.
• Avoid using copyrighted material, but alway feel free to over-attribute or over-artifact submissions with copious linkage .
• Let's strive for questions of high value to the interviewer, candidate, or both.
• Avoid questions that have little or nothing to do with product managment (i.e., what's your greatest weakness?).
• Use this as an opportunity to learn Github. Meaning, kvetching about the tools we're using will likely be ignored.
• Make mistakes, and don't jump ugly with others when they do. We're still nudging this process towards perfection.
• Share what you've learned, either through awesome errors or cool tools you've discovered along the way.
• Have fun! The interview process is hard enough for all of us on all sides of the operation.
