Many words were written about the essence of the product manager role, yet it is still an elusive term. Could the product manager's role be crucial to a company’s success and yet be vaguely defined? How is it possible? In my opinion, the philosophy behind products is the root cause. Today I want to share with you my take on that: “delivering products that have value to customers, hence earning money” The essence of this sentence highlights the need to be valuable to our customers.

In 2020, we had to brush up on our skills. Building quickly and testing with users is key to many product people, but this year demanded a new approach when we couldn’t do our work in person.

Anyone who has been responsible for building a product, whether as a startup founder, a product manager or owner, or a change agent at a forward-thinking company, knows how hard it is to create one that is truly great.

As we start to close out 2020, the mind starts to turn to 2021. I took some time out from my usual deep dives into product development topics to contemplate what I’d personally like to see happen in 2021 and beyond for us folks in product, development and venturing. These aren’t predictions; instead, these are general directions that it would be good for us product and development folks as a community to move in.

Product Culture
DECEMBER 15, 2020
The one thing that kills most OKR implementations? Not actually using them day-to-day or even month-to-month. Unlike old-fashioned approaches to goal setting, progress on OKRs is meant to be measured frequently, maybe even weekly. (Facebook tracks metrics daily.) This is because OKRs are not about judging success or failure in the past. They are the headlights that tell you whether you are still in your lane or drifting toward oncoming traffic.
Product Warrior

Again and again, I witness product teams rejoicing about the fact they have managed to release new product features. I hate to be the party pooper, but this behaviour is a key indicator that the team will fuel Gartner’s* findings that only 11% of products achieve their targets. Put simply, they are doing it wrong. I can hear the outcry now, “but we shipped working software”, which is important but it is not the focus of product teams.

Everyone wants to start with product features, and that’s the root of all evil. It makes everything more difficult. Here’s the simplest way to do prioritization.

Amplitude

In the previous post of the series, we explored some of the challenges of “seeing” product usage data as a series of events. At Amplitude we’ve noticed that some teams are far more effective at deciding what to measure. What do they do differently in addition to getting familiar with event-based data? Most use what we (and others) call a “t-shaped” instrumentation approach—they instrument select events across the user journey, and then go deep where they have the most questions.

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.
