“The value is in what gets used, not what gets built”. — Kris Gale As a wise man once said, no roadmap survives contact with reality. Fires sparked to life left and right, yet there were no firefighters in sight, and I had no tools to fight them. Every hour, a new fire seemed to materialize from an unknown direction with no warning. I was on a path, a journey, to a new and wonderful destination.

Behind every interaction on every digital interface, lies a series of cause-and-effect relationships, dictating the predictable outcomes and human behaviors we encounter as users. UX designers refer to these predictable cause-and-effect relationships as the “laws” of UX design.

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.

When you’re building a product, you can easily get overwhelmed by ideas. There are the ideas your product trio comes up with based on your discovery work, the ideas that come from your customers in the form of specific requests, and the ideas that come from stakeholders within your company like your customer-facing teams or CEO, to name a few. While some of these ideas are unsolicited and may not relate to your current outcome or the opportunities you’re pursuing, that doesn’t mean you want to i

Recently, I did a little experiment. I asked DALLE to ‘Give me an image of a tech CEO’. It gave me two photos of a smartly-dressed young, white man in a corporate office setting. Then I tried regenerating the image to see on which try it would give me a tech CEO of a different gender (or colour).
