Our work lives are riddled with anxieties. Many of them are natural and fleeting, and we deal with them. One that can haunt people, however, is impostor syndrome. The belief that we are a fraud, doubting our accomplishments and talents. “If you’re anxious about your abilities a lot of the time anyway, you’re 1,000x more so when performance review period comes around” Each year (twice a year in my case), that feeling is amplified considerably by the dreaded performance rev

Surveying your mobile customers is a great way to find out more about who they are, what drives them back to your app, how they feel about your app, and what they’d like improved. Every customer has unique preferences, tastes, likes, and dislikes. Intuitively, customer individuality makes perfect sense. We’re all different. Yet at the end of the day, many brands know little about their customers on an individual, human level.

In theory, and I emphasize in theory, the impact of a product led growth model should be very minimal on product management. For product marketing, it pretty much changes everything.

I talk with lots of executives from the go-to-market side of the house who think that building serious software is as easy – and easily estimatable – as building a fence. Would that it were so. One destructive side effect of this misunderstanding can be repeatedly changing the #1 top priority part-way through development, before there’s much to show the world but after spending significant discovery/design/architecture/development time on the previous #1 top priority.
