“Purpose is not the sole pursuit of profits but the animating force for achieving them. Profits are in no way inconsistent with purpose — in fact, profits and purpose are inextricably linked.” — Larry Fink, CEO BlackRock Over my career, I’ve had many conversations about purpose and a similar number about value.

Product Management establishes the vision for exactly what we should make, Engineering/Development designs and builds it, and Marketing figures out how to get customers to buy it. But maintaining alignment of these disciplines throughout a new product or enhancement initiative is difficult.

One of the places where product leaders add the most value is by connecting the dots. Seeing a broad picture and making sure everything fits together is one of our superpowers. But what happens when the dots don’t connect? It’s your responsibility to call it out, even if you don’t fully understand why.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

With everything you have to do every day, it is so easy to neglect strategy. Not because it’s not important, but because it seems less urgent than everything else you have to deal with right here and now. But much like code, your product strategy also requires maintenance. And when left unhandled for too long, you might barely notice, but the impact can be deadly.

Too much freedom doesn’t work for them as much as it wouldn’t for you, even if you are not willing to admit it. Here is what you need to be aware of if you want to keep being a great manager, not just in your head.

It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
