A product marketer acquaintance of mine – Mukul – recently asked for some advice on his product positioning. The very first thing I did was ask him about his process – what work had gone into his positioning decisions.

We’re here to teach you important skills and methodologies for Product Management, and having good mental health is as important an asset to any PM as data skills and tech knowhow. If you can’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of your teams. Numerous studies have shown burnout to be a very real and impactful threat to employee health. A huge cause of burnout, alongside an impossible workload, is impostor syndrome.

PMs, take a deep breath: We made it to the end of 2020.

“Get out of the building” – this quote by Steve Blank has inspired many founders and product leaders to go out and test their product in the real world. But then, Covid happened and everything we knew or believed in about building great businesses went through its own transformation. 2021 is going to be a crucial year for makers. Two tailwinds of significance: Economy, hopefully, will be bouncing back.

At the close of 2020, when we’re on the brink of entering a new decade, we thought it’d be a good time for a little history lesson.

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.

Having worked on a number of large technology programmes involving the selection and management of strategic suppliers, I wanted to share my perspectives from the ‘buy side’ on how to build effective partnerships. A partnership is a long term relationship that creates material value for both parties. They typically have large contract sizes, relate to business critical capabilities and require exec level sponsorship.

This is the time of year where many of us are looking back on the last twelve months and reflecting on what we’d like to do better. But it’s also a time when we can be grateful for the things that are already good — especially in a year marked by so much loss, change, and uncertainty. When times get tough, it tends to shine a spotlight on two big areas of your life: your support system (i.e., the people around you) and your ability to roll with the punches and get things done.

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.

Where is your product in its lifecycle? Is it in early startup mode? Rapid growth? Cash cow? Most big companies get big by having a portfolio of products to “stack" lifecycles on top of each other.
