Running a business involves lots of duties and responsibilities. All the departments need to follow the same path to achieve a common objective. Product development and focusing on the minor details can increase the demand and efficiency of the product. It is very important to maintain unity and should work on achieving the same objective. Also, building strategies for product management can make a big difference.

For years, product teams have relied on spreadsheets to capture user feedback and feature ideas. Their sheer flexibility allows you to capture large quantities of information and sort and filter it in many different ways.

OKRs in a Nutshell. OKRs are a method for setting and tracking goals. An objective describes what is to be achieved. The key results state how we accomplish the objective. Let’s say, for example, that the objective is to “increase engagement.” The key results might then be “simplify user journey A” and “enhance feature alpha.”. OKRs can be used to create cascading goals—goals that are systematically linked.

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.

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.
