Example: How we shipped X and grew Y by 40%

Context

Replace with 2–3 sentences setting the stage: what the company was, what the situation was, what problem landed on my desk. Aim for plain, specific language. Avoid abstract phrasing like “unprecedented opportunity” — recruiters skim past it.

The problem

Describe the problem in concrete terms. What was broken or missing? Who was affected? What was the business cost of inaction?

What I did

A short narrative of the actions you took. Focus on the decisions, not the activities. Recruiters already know PMs run meetings; they want to see how you think.

• Decision 1, with the tradeoff you considered
• Decision 2, with the tradeoff you considered
• Decision 3, with the tradeoff you considered

A specific tactical example

Sub-sections like this one help break up a long case. Use them when a single decision deserves its own treatment.

Outcomes

A short paragraph framing the metrics — what they mean, what they don’t, what surprised you. Honesty about limits beats inflated claims; experienced recruiters notice.

Deeper dive: how we measured this

Use collapsible sections for material that adds depth but isn’t essential. The content here is still in the HTML and parseable by LLMs and search engines — it’s just hidden from the visual scroll by default.

• Method bullet 1
• Method bullet 2
• Method bullet 3

What I’d do differently

This is one of the most-read sections in any portfolio case study. A short, honest reflection on what you’d change signals seniority better than any list of accomplishments.

Takeaway

One paragraph at the end that crystallizes the lesson. The thing you want a recruiter to remember after closing the tab.
