Failing is an eventuality in software development. Not only do we fail, we are encouraged to fail iteratively. Let’s do it over and over again! And yet, the job of the product manager comes with a level of accountability and scrutiny that is unique. Product managers are asked to look after all facets of a product’s development, from conception to launch.

Every product development project has a crucial milestone, the official demonstration. A recent story about the original iPhone demo at Moscone center in SF, in early 2007 from the point of view of the engineers in the audience is particularly illuminating. Sitting here on Memorial Day, watching Robocop, I realized that the demonstration of the ED 209 was like a lot of my own demonstrations.

By Saikrishna Chavali – You learn the power of status quo, and the challenges our power users face within their own firms. Product teams at vendors are tripping over themselves trying to get customers to use the latest products and features. But not everybody thinks as such. Not because customers don’t want the “best experience”.

The problems people encounter in their lives rarely change from generation to generation. The products they hire to solve these problems change all the time. If you’re building a new product, it’s because you believe you can create a better solution that people will want to use because it delivers a better outcome. A strong understanding of the outcome customers want , and how they currently get it, is essential for you to succeed in product development.

The latest generation of entrepreneurs has contributed its share of buzzwords and mantras to the business lexicon with mixed results. We all now know “unicorns” aren’t just mythical horses. “Disruption” is a legitimate strategy for a company trying to break into a new market… and a legitimate fear for those already making money there. And, of course, we know the best way to hone your business.

My passion for building businesses and products started years ago when I had the opportunity to co-found my own start-up. We had all the right ingredients for success; a unique idea, and committed team, and right amount of funding to make it a runaway success. We built a product that many loved and could see the potential in, but at the end couldn’t scale it into a successful business.

By Daniel Wu’ – An ideal PRD discusses users, shows features in a visual prototype, and includes key hypotheses. Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) are documents product managers use to achieve several important objectives. They (1) create purpose and context for the teams they work with, allowing key stakeholders to feel heard; and (2) clearly communicate the vision.

Technology firms have a long and storied history with commercials. Just reading that sentence you’re probably already thinking about half-time Super Bowl commercials. Or annoying YouTube pre-rolls that leave you puzzled as to what the company actually does. In fact there’s a whole genre of tech company videos that are so clichéd – fast edits, shiny happy people, repeated lines of script, emotional cues and images of bakers (think about it) – it’s become easy to poke fun at them.

Embrace a Growth Mindset. Learning something new requires the right mindset or attitude. If you believe that you lack talent or are not smart enough, then you make it hard—if not impossible—for yourself to acquire new knowledge, skills, and behaviours. For example, I never used to think myself as somebody who is good at writing, and I wasn’t particularly good at it at school.

Product presentations and demos can be the determining factor in winning or losing a sale. In many cases, it comes down to the credibility of the presenter more than the capabilities of the product. From a buyer’s perspective, the psychology goes something like this: “If you can articulate my issues in the exact manner I do, your product must be great at handling them.” Think back to a sale you lost when you clearly had the superior solution, or a sale you won when you clearly

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. 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.

I wasn’t supposed to end up here in my career. Seriously. I am, as they say in academic circles, “from ‘industry.” I don’t have a Ph.D. I never aspired to be a researcher. And while I have taught for more than a decade at the graduate level, I was never part of the academic ecosystem. I was an outsider; I like to think I still am. I have led or been a major contributor to two of the most successful software companies in the world.

The role of product manager is somewhat synonymous 1 with the agile concept of “product owner” where you are the representative of the “customer” to the development team. The implication is that this is a role that channels the customers’ needs, desires, demands into the process. What this doesn’t mean is that the product owner is the customer, substituting her needs/experience/knowledge for actual customer facing requirements, but instead represents the custo
