It's always wild how quickly "it's just semantics" is followed by "I don't know what anyone means when they say"

Words seem simple until they don't. Defining them clearly is a gift to those around you.

This thread brought to you by my life in #productManagement / #marketing / #engineering -- it all matters.

About to trim lilac bushes after reading a whole lot of blogs and realizing how parallel it is to #productManagement work. Going from research to experimentation is scary sometimes, but knowing when you know enough to start learning by hand is when you grow.

(Ugh that pun was there and I couldn't not)

I’m surprised how hard it is to find a “here’s how to use upstream #OpenSource without breaking comparability” guide. You know, use modular interfaces to maintain upgradability with the upstream, fast forward the main repo every X sprints, don’t push to your downstream fork repo, that stuff.

Am I missing an obvious resource? I hope so. #OpenSourcePatterns #ProductManagement

“The skill of actually figuring out what you need is probably as important as what you do after you figure it out.”

Great quote on the ambiguity of #ProductManagement and how it’s part of the job

Does anyone have a favorite book that introduces technical language for noncoders?

To say it another way: is there a good resource for folks in #productManagement with limited background in software engineering to brush up on the language of SDLC?

OH: anecdotally proven

Used unironically in the context of #ProductManagement / #SoftwareDevelopment 🙉

I'm a heavy #miro user at work and really enjoyed this retrospective template that uses sailing as a metaphor to spark a conversation. It feels like roses/buds/thorns exercise but in a fresh style that clicked for my product team.
