Ran an inaugural Customer Council today that was so good that one of the participants asked if we were hiring.

#ProductManagement

I wrote 'Hiring Product Managers' to dive deep into the human side of Product Management. In it, I share how to master the art of creativity, innovation, decision-making, and leadership that truly sets successful individuals, teams, and products apart.

I also share some practical tools and insights that will revolutionize your hiring process and cultivate a thriving product management culture.

#ProductManagement #Leadership #ProductEQ

In companies, this kind of three-dimensional chess and "optimization mindset" becomes the norm, so balls are always dropping. When balls are always dropping, there's a culture of not catching. Instead, leadership rewards teams for throwing new balls into the air and even more impressive attempts at juggling.

Good product planning session today but I still wonder if there is a better way to prioritise.

What do you do to decide doing one project/epic/story over another?

What techniques or tools do you use to prioritise work for the development teams?

#ProductManagement #product

The most practical way to measure quality is to have experts look at the thing. Ideally as many experts as possible. Ideally the experts are truly experts. If 100 experts can’t find any problems, the thing is probably perfect.

If you're using a 2 x 2 matrix to position your product, you're almost certainly doing it wrong. Prospects' minds are not 2 x 2 matrices. https://blog.cauvin.org/2013/11/competitive-mindshare-maps.html

This effort to measure things without discrete output units is counter-productive. Latest is the McKinsey effort to measure developer productivity.

Producing light bulbs, hitting a sales target, or recruiting the required number of heads are all focused on a discrete unit.

This not the case with #devrel, #engineer, #marketing, #design, and #productmanagement
