A topic that’s come up several times recently in my product leader coaching sessions: how much to delegate to the (individual contributor) product managers on our teams – including different ways of building product skills and balancing personal empowerment against good results. Said another way, if you’re running a team of 4 or 11 or 23 product managers, you have a lot to do that’s different from their direct work so you’ll need to delegate decision-making as well as execution.

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.

You most probably know how credit cards work. You take out a loan from a bank for whatever reason and you are given a grace period of a month or two to pay back the money you owe. If you fail to pay back within the grace period, you will be charged interest, which increases like a snowball as it is rolled on. It’s the same with technical debt. You’re rushing to release new product features, while taking out a loan from your “future self”.
