Throw Out The “Laundry List”. My boss calls me into his office and says that it’s time to create a new product description. “OK,” I say, not sure what to expect at this new company. He opens a spreadsheet and we start filling in the product requirements. At the top of one page is a space to put in the customer needs. No more than a large cell in the spreadsheet.
The Secret PM Handbook

After a few well-received presentations to senior executives, a few colleagues at my new company asked me, based on the positive effect I got, “Can you give us some tips on persuasion?”.

Perhaps the most sought-after aspect of Public Relations is known as “Earned Media”, i.e. the coverage you get in various media without paying for it.

In a B2B space, Public Relations is better thought of as “Audience Relations” because you are usually not interested in reaching the general public.

The comparison has been around for a long time?—?the product manager is the CEO of their product. It’s become ingrained in our thinking and the way we talk about product management. For newcomers, it’s an exciting concept. Everyone wants to be the CEO, right? Make decisions. Create vision. Command respect. But is it true? Is the product manager the CEO?

An increasing number of B2B SaaS companies have started taking feedback seriously and in doing so have turned to NPS ( Net Promoter Score ) as a way of gathering information. While it’s great that so many companies are realizing the value of product feedback, NPS only offers one tiny slice of information that can sometimes lead you in the wrong direction.

Develop a sense of curiosity to build trust and achieve your product goals. To be a great product manager, do you also need to be a great actor? No, but there are lessons from acting that will make you a better product manager. While I have no acting experience, not even school plays, I have talked with several actors who became business coaches. It was not an obvious career path until I learned from each of them how their acting skills transferred to skills others need off the stage.

Dear Strategy: “What are the risks of being a follower to a competitor versus being a game changer?”. Before I answer this question, I want to be sure that our definitions are clear. Way back in Episode 22 , I addressed the difference between being a “Fast-Follower” and being a “Me Too” Provider. In reality, these are two very different strategies, so I definitely recommend going back to that episode to get aligned on what those two terms mean.

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.

Complicated means overwhelming, and overwhelming means it’s not getting done. User feedback, it’s surprising how often it’s overlooked or ignored. Seasoned Product Managers may feel they’ve previously heard everything they need to know to make a decision. New Product Managers may be in their first customer facing role, and gathering user feedback is outside their comfort zone.
