Input from executives is only less common than input from product owners, engineering teams, and the product managers themselves. The challenge for product leaders is that ideas from the C-Suite often lack customer validation and therefore put teams at risk of investing resources in ideas that won’t be successful.

A little over a year ago, I got the opportunity to start a new team within our sales organization – a team of Relationship Managers dedicated to growing our current customers at scale. To do the first, we had to hire, train, and write a playbook – the building blocks of any team. Relentlessly measure impact.

An essential role of CPOs and other product leaders that’s never listed in the job description is giving organizational 'air cover' to product managers to postpone almost all new requests — so that their teams can finish work already underway.  Of course, your organization may look/behave very differently.

Stating a list of wholesome qualities is easy, of course. It’s all too tempting to fall back onto less skilful habits and become impatient, tense and stressed, say something we regret afterwards, or pass on the pressure to the development team. Nothing beats meeting real users. But that’s not all.

Agile vs. Being Agile Agile became popular shortly after ‘The Agile Software Development Manifesto ’ was published in 2001. Organizations began looking to consultants to help them become more agile, and an entire Agile industry was born. This is why one-size-fits-all Agile solutions are a bad idea.

Let’s call it the software development deli counter problem. Likewise, sales and business development teams (especially in enterprise companies) are hired and paid and rewarded for bringing in large deals.

Writers have a problem product development teams don't have: Imposter Syndrome. As worst things go, that's not so bad. When we collaborate with others, we can assume someone has the expertise the team needs. That's when you think you're a fraud. Even though you have experience and expertise. Fear drives Imposter Syndrome.

Said another way, great development teams want to work on great technical problems. Product managers and development teams solve different problems.

However, if a non-techy PM meets a non-businessy team lead, things can go sideways pretty quickly. while the user name does have a unique id, the team and content do not. Why is this important?

Teams have another lever. Teams can get some feedback from one feature set to inform the next set—but that's not a primary lever. Then, the team (or whomever) creates an architecture. Once the team has an idea about the architecture, the team starts working on the highest priority feature or feature set.

Good product teams know their users inside and out. They get to know all of this by using data as a strategic asset—because good product teams are made up of good product analysts. Does this mean every product team should be packed with data science degrees? Asking developers to pull data isn’t an efficient use of their time.
