About section in the portfolio builder
If you’re not in a traditional product management role, the area of expertise and product philosophy are not required!

6. Create a case study

This is where your PM portfolio really shines. Use the SIGNAL framework to walk through a product story step by step - showing how you think, not just where you’ve worked.

7. Choose a theme

Pick from 5 preset themes to match your personal brand. Pro users can customize colors with hex codes to make their product manager portfolio truly their own. Learn more about themes →
