Product Management Product Management MCQ 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which metric best measures how much value users get from a product relative to its cost?
- Customer Acquisition Cost
- Return on Investment
- Customer Lifetime Value to CAC ratio (Correct answer)
- Net Revenue Retention
Correct answer: Customer Lifetime Value to CAC ratio
The LTV:CAC ratio directly measures value delivered per dollar spent acquiring a customer, making it the clearest indicator of product value efficiency.
Question 2: A product manager notices that feature adoption drops sharply after day 3. What should they investigate first?
- Pricing strategy
- Onboarding and activation flow (Correct answer)
- Marketing channel mix
- Competitor feature set
Correct answer: Onboarding and activation flow
A sharp drop in early adoption typically points to a broken or confusing onboarding/activation experience that prevents users from reaching the 'aha moment.'
Question 3: What does the RICE prioritization framework stand for?
- Revenue, Impact, Cost, Effort
- Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort (Correct answer)
- Risk, Impact, Complexity, Execution
- Reach, Innovation, Confidence, Ease
Correct answer: Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort
RICE stands for Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort — a scoring framework to objectively prioritize product features.
Question 4: In dual-track agile, what happens in the 'discovery' track?
- Engineers write and ship code
- Designers create final UI assets
- Teams validate ideas before committing to build (Correct answer)
- QA teams test completed features
Correct answer: Teams validate ideas before committing to build
The discovery track focuses on rapid experimentation and user research to validate whether an idea is worth building before handing it to the delivery track.
Question 5: A B2B SaaS company sees high logo retention but declining net revenue retention. What is the most likely cause?
- Customer churn is increasing
- Expansion revenue is insufficient to offset downgrades or contractions (Correct answer)
- Sales team is underperforming
- Product quality has deteriorated
Correct answer: Expansion revenue is insufficient to offset downgrades or contractions
High logo retention means customers stay, but NRR below 100% indicates downgrades or contractions are outpacing expansion revenue from existing accounts.
Question 6: Which discovery method is best for understanding the emotional drivers behind a user's behavior?
- A/B testing
- Funnel analysis
- Jobs-to-be-Done interviews (Correct answer)
- Cohort analysis
Correct answer: Jobs-to-be-Done interviews
Jobs-to-be-Done interviews uncover the functional, social, and emotional motivations that lead users to 'hire' a product for a specific job.
Question 7: When should a product manager use a 'spike' in an agile sprint?
- To ship a feature faster than planned
- To investigate a technical or design uncertainty before committing to an estimate (Correct answer)
- To reassign capacity from one team to another
- To conduct customer interviews mid-sprint
Correct answer: To investigate a technical or design uncertainty before committing to an estimate
A spike is a time-boxed research task used to reduce uncertainty so the team can provide a reliable estimate for future work.
