All product teams want to be successful. They want to drive feature adoption, delight their users, and properly structure their roadmap. However, doing all of these things both consistently and well is a real challenge. As any product manager can tell you, PMs are constantly strapped for time and are usually juggling multiple priorities.

John Cutler didn’t start off his career as the product management thinker that he is today. In fact, his transition into the field has been anything but linear. “I spent my 20s playing music in bands and touring around the country.” When not on the road, John was busy adding a laundry list of odd jobs to his resume. At one point, he even created a bartending video game.

Ben Horowitz (of Venture Capital firm Andreessen Horowitz) was one of the first to suggest that a Product Manager should be the “CEO of the product”. Since then, received quite a bit of criticism. That criticism is wrong. What a Great CEO Does The heart of most criticism can be paraphrased like so; “product managers don’t have the authority to just tell people what to do”.

How product managers make better use of data to tell a story and gain support. I bet you use data to support your suggestions. But guess what–you are probably not using data well. By itself, data does not communicate what we want others to do. Instead, it needs to be wrapped in a story — sort of a data-story sandwich! The person who knows how to do this is also one of the most recognized communication and persuasion experts around.

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.
