The mentorship program at the Boston Product Management Association and how to make the best out of it. Why you might need a mentor in your life. Directing your own life can be equally exciting and daunting thing to do. Oftentimes we may feel stuck and need a little push on the way. It seems like all the books we’ve read, all the knowledge we’ve acquired, all the people we’ve met are still not enough to guide us take a direction, adjust our perspective or make a decision.

Tip #1: Complement your Product Backlog with a Product Roadmap. Use a roadmap to sketch the overall journey you want to take your product on. State the upcoming major releases with their goals or benefits. Then derive your product backlog from the roadmap and use the goals to discover the right backlog items. This ensures that your backlog is aligned with the product strategy, and it helps you decide which items should be added to the product backlog and which should not.

One of the personality traits I value most in successful product managers is they are inherently truth seekers. Truth seekers have a strong bias towards discovering the truth being their primary motivation and what ultimately guides their decision-making. It takes incredible humility and curiosity to embody this trait, but when it exists, the benefits are felt throughout the entire R&D team.

If you have a successful product and your users ask for new features that really make sense, then you’re in an enviable position. However, the way in which you choose handle these requests can play a big role in the product’s future success or failure. In my experience there are several alternatives worth considering: Do not develop the feature at all.

Now you can see your marketing results whenever you log into Shopify. For a long time, UTM data wasn’t given much love by the Shopify dashboard but that’s not the case from today.

As part of the team that introduced the paywall in front of The Times, he knows first-hand that although changes in pricing can dramatically change the demographic and reduce the volume of your customers, they can still turn out to b

Product managers must break free from patterns which make them susceptible to disruption from new entrants. To successfully introduce new products, produce managers need to use jobs-to-be-done segmentation rather than product- or customer-based segmentation. The Innovator’s Solution by Clayton Christensen. In Innovator’s Solution , Clayton Christensen introduces the famous “milkshake” case study which spawned the jobs-to-be-done method of customer segmentation.

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.

Each week I scour articles, wading through the dogs, and bringing you the best insights to help product managers and innovators be heroes. Product managers collaborate and build teams by being truth seekers. Some product managers are defensive when their ideas are challenged. This erodes collaboration that product managers need. Instead by listening carefully to opposing viewpoints, evaluating data, and weighing opinions, they can build influential coalitions.

Is price segmentation fair? One of the most valuable levers a company has when pricing its products is charging different customers different prices, also known as price segmentation. In essence, a company estimates a buyer’s willingness to pay and does its best to charge as close to that as possible. Of course, there is no way to tell precisely how much a buyer is willing to pay.

Getting a product management team up to speed is a big commitment and investment. Training is an essential part of their journey to high-performance, but multiple studies show us that overall retention of training material is very low – about 10%, according to most experts. Furthermore, if team members don’t get to put that new information into practice, they will struggle to retain even that small fraction.

As the legend goes, early in Google's storied history, the founding team was in a meeting with some of their early investors who asked them how they were planning to make money. The answer seems obvious now, but at the time, it was quite revolutionary. When people search for something, Google could show them ads based on what they were searching for, exactly at the moment they were thinking about it.
