Case Study Over GitHub
Table of Contents
PM proof is scoped delivery stories - problem, tradeoff, ship, result - not repos alone.
Key Concept
- Case study over GitHub means interview and portfolio proof shows how you scoped, aligned, and landed work - code is appendix, not headline.
- Resume Speaks Outcomes Not Stack is the one-line version; two written case studies carry a PM screen.
- Green repos without narrative leave hiring managers guessing what you owned vs what the team owned.
Level 1 - Recognize
Case study over GitHub means portfolio proof is scoped delivery story - problem, constraints, decision, result.
Level 2 - Explain
Like showing the finished clinic workflow you shortened - not only the screwdriver in your bag.
Level 3 - Use
Write one page: problem, stakeholders, scope cut, date risk, what shipped, one metric or quote - link repo at the bottom if helpful.
Level 4 - Connect
Technical PM Positioning may include architecture sketch; product PM case studies lead user and business outcome.
Level 5 - Create
Reuse case studies in Career Shift Story and interview prep - same spine, different depth per round.
Examples
- Glad I walked the PM panel through client static site scope and Friday go-live - GitHub was a footnote, not the pitch.
- Candidate showed perfect commits but no story on who set scope - case study gap failed the culture round.
