Jeff Bezos sent an email with a "?" That was it. Yet, it was powerful and helped this product manager learn a great lesson. Read more 👇🏽 reddit.com/r/ProductManag…
Product Management is largely about resolving ambiguity and acting in the presence of unresolved ambiguity. It is therefore very hard to succeed in this job if you hate ambiguity.
Some resisting forces to good decisions making: Ego Bias Greed Rushing Dualism Isolation Emotions Tiredness Impatience Group think Fixed mindset Lack of creativity Lack of experience Lack of psychological safety
The product death cycle is a terrible trap. Many PMs forget about the "Why" and become waiters. To please everyone, a waiter collects and waterfalls all "feature requirements" to the team. But no matter how much the team delivers, it gets only worse. Features shipped in a hurry…
Entrepreneurship culture in America is all messed up and it’s a shame. TechCrunch. Product Hunt. Shark Tank. It’s all about new ideas. Changing the world. Innovation. 0 to 1. Blue ocean. Venture capital and exits and scalability. And IT’S ALL A LIE. If you ask the average…

I find Backlogs to be: 1. A way of politicking. "I'll add it to the backlog" is easier than saying "no" or even "maybe" 2. People are afraid of losing data (ideas) on what to change in the product.
A backlog is a sign that you are not managing capacity well. If the work flows perfectly, you don't need one. You pull work from the customer when you need something to do. Backlogs, however, indicate a push system, where work is pushed onto the teams regardless of capacity.
How do you test your assumptions before making product decisions? Christin from Shopify explains how @ShopifyUX deploy Assumption Slams to help categorise important and risky assumptions before building new features
Speed is key when building digital products But strategic patience is another Stay ready to move with explosive speed
I find it fascinating how we manage to shift our goal in software development from: * Building something people want and are willing to pay for To: * Following a rigid process, writing 30-page-long specs, and creating 10-mile-long Gantt charts. Focus on product, not process
