Here’s the universal truth about insurance: you buy it, but you hope you never actually have to use it. We treat insurance as a necessary evil for this reason.

Anyone familiar with Product Management will recognize the immortal phrase ‘influence without authority.’ As a Product Manager, you’re a team player who guides product development along its chartered course, but you have to do that without being the literal captain of the ship. You somehow have to bring together a rowdy bunch of tech professionals (data scientists, UX and UI designers , software engineers, etc) and make a valuable and functional product happen.
Product Management Today brings together the best content for product management professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

According to a Gallup poll , fully engaged customers represent a 23% premium over an average customer when it comes to share of wallet, profitability, revenue, and relationship growth.

It can be daunting when there are so many sources and people purporting to be ‘experts’ ( glances awkwardly at the mirror ), so I thought I’d start with the source I use the most often?—?

On this episode of Intercom on Product myself and Paul Adams, our SVP of Product, take a look at roadmapping. We discuss how we’ve approached it historically at Intercom and how this process has evolved with us to make room for a wider audience.

As a concept, Developer Experience (DX) has gained significant attention in the tech industry. It emphasizes engineers’ efficiency and satisfaction during the product development process.

As I am helping my youngest son get situated, showing him how to select a personalized in-flight movie, my naturally retrospective mind thought back to the days of when you were lucky if the flight you were on had a movie at all.

All data strategies start with excitement. This is the dominant emotion during kick-off calls with my clients and it can feel amazing. You’ll finally know exactly what is going inside your product and what growth levers you should be pulling. This excitement can dissipate as teams find themselves stuck with data they don’t trust, tools they don’t know how to use and overwhelm with the sheer volume of their data.
