Last year I started my product management career full time, with a startup called Split Software. Previously I was a growth experimentation manager at Skyscanner, and while there I got to work closely with product managers and designers and generally dipped my toes into the product world whenever I could. My current role has been challenging but thoroughly rewarding.

At Amplitude, we often use the phrase “product-led” because it represents something we are really passionate about, and it inspires why we’re building the product we are building. We acknowledge that the phrase is prone to misunderstanding. In this post, we want to explain where we’re coming from, and hopefully start a dialogue. What does it mean to be “product-led”?

Product management owns the roadmap. They spend more time than anyone in the company poring over this important strategic blueprint. But that doesn’t mean the roadmap is an internal document for the product team’s eyes only. If they want their products to succeed, product managers need to share their roadmaps with other teams across the company.

How we used the Superhuman’s Product-Market Fit model to learn what to build and whom to target A few months back I read an amazing Blog post by Rahul Vohra about how Superhuman was able to reach Product-Market Fit. The normal approach to this is “I’ll know it when I get there” but that doesn’t actually help you to get there (or work out how far along you are).

Building a business from the bottom up is a long and difficult journey of trial and error. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , 20% of startups fail within their first year, 50% fail by their fifth year, and 70% are done by year 10. With so many pressing matters at the forefront of an entrepreneur’s mind, there are many reasons why a startup may fail.

Amazon Prime Video app has won the metadata game for customers like me who take their entertainment on-the-go, mainly on their smartphones or tablets. The Netflix stories feature might have changed my opinion, especially considering the content available on Netflix. You and I, in this beautiful world… Literally, the biggest fight my husband and I have and on a daily basis is about what to watch.

Nine years ago, Steve Jobs wrote an open letter to Adobe regarding Flash and why it wasn’t allowed on iOS devices, listing out various shortcomings that Flash showed on mobile devices. Ever since then, Flash has been on a decline and has been replaced by HTML5. The Demand For HTML5 HTML5 allowed audio and video embedding features through its <audio> and <video> tags.

An agile approach requires a cross-functional team. That means that everyone on the team focuses on the same intent. That intent might be an entire product. It might be a feature set as part of a larger program. But, the team focuses as a team. That cross-functional team is a product team or a feature team. I tend to call them feature teams because they might move from feature set to feature set when they work as part of a program or over time as the product evolves.

Services teams interact with customers more than 10x as often as their Sales counterparts. But, unlike outreach through traditional Sales or Marketing, these interactions are often welcomed and valued by customers because they come with prescriptive advice for achieving a specific outcome with their purchase. Many technology organizations are under pressure to grow revenue, but don’t always get more Sales or Marketing resources to help them get that done.

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.

The Anti-Corruption Layer?—?Making Modernization Work By Kiruthika Sivaraman, Software Engineer The process of modernization often results in the formation of two distinct worlds: the original, established platform and the new, more effective one. This is not a “one-and-done” process. Instead, it requires a series of phases over time. Because of this, the new world has a constant, ongoing dependency on the old one.

Although all apps are published to the same app stores, customer expectations and use cases vary tremendously between app categories. It’s important to remember that all apps aren’t expected to be created equal, and app publishers shouldn’t all take the same approach to engagement and user experience. In order to fully understand how your app’s experience compares with the market, it’s important to look at benchmarks in your specific app category.
