I’ve been mulling this for a while, recently prompted by thoughts from Josh Robb and Amy Nguyen. Many infrastructure development teams don’t have a product manager, or have a fractional product owner/analyst working primarily on detailed technical requirements.

I’m working on my roadmapping talk for Agile 2018. I finally had the transforming idea about how to position the talk: Roadmapping and product planning are about feedback loops. The shorter the feedback loop, the faster and more often we can learn. That feedback loop works in at least these ways: The faster we learn, the more often we can question our product assumptions.

Product presentations and demos can be the determining factor in winning or losing a sale. In many cases, it comes down to the credibility of the presenter more than the capabilities of the product. From a buyer’s perspective, the psychology goes something like this: “If you can articulate my issues in the exact manner I do, your product must be great at handling them.” Think back to a sale you lost when you clearly had the superior solution, or a sale you won when you clearly

Most product teams begin their development cycles with high expectations for their next release. They envision a great launch, good press coverage, praise from early adopters, healthy sales pipeline and feedback for the next iteration. However, sometimes the results are the opposite. Typically, this is the plight of a team that isn't dialed into its market.

This is the first in my series of posts about churn in SaaS. In these posts, I discuss the details of why churn happens, how you can analyze it and what you can do to prevent it. Losing customers can be detrimental to the growth of any SaaS business. In the early stages of growth, losing customers might indicate that you do not have a product-market fit.

Tech debt is like the mortgage you never wanted. You can grow old just paying the interest. A lot of us have been there. You reach your early 30s. Your friends are buying houses, moving out to the suburbs (or staying in the city if they got lucky with the start-up options roulette). You feel like you should do the same. There’s a dream house you saw.

At a recent TSW conference , I overheard this lament, “I wish getting alignment on our professional services strategy was as simple is getting your car aligned!” And thus was born an idea for some research and a blog post to explore this concept. Car owners know that their wheels need to be in alignment, and it’s not hard to tell when they aren’t.

I’ve always been keen on learning from other people. And one way of doing this is by interviewing professionals and experts and asking them about their experiences. This year, I travelled from Berlin to Silicon Valley and interviewed 15 product management experts from Google, LinkedIn, Salesforce, eBay, and other companies, to learn about how they build successful products that serve millions of people every day.
