Product and development teams often try to deal with the uncertainty they face with more research, more analysis, more process, more people and more frameworks. Organisations, especially the larger ones, intensify this rather than help navigate the uncertainty. Will customers want the feature? How many customers will like this new product?

Bob Moesta // The Rewired Group. Should you rethink your sales process from the buyer’s perspective?*. For most of us, sales means reciting features, benefits, pressuring customers into purchasing. Selling feels icky. It’s not our fault – that’s how most selling is done. There’s a better way. Bob Moesta has taken Jobs-to-be-Done theory and flipped it to apply it to sales.

In May 2020, Twitter defied the uncertainty of the then-nascent COVID-19 pandemic with a decisive announcement: they were making work-from-home permanent. It was a plan two years in the making, but one that foreshadowed a global trend. Now, work from home (WFH) is the norm for many companies — and it is permanently shaping the way people communicate, work, and adopt technology.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

Hard truth: Engineers are deploying half-finished features into production, and they’re doing it on purpose. These engineers are able to do this without getting fired because they’re using feature flags to hide their partially completed work. You can too. It might sound crazy to be rolling out features to production before they’re finished, but it’s actually in keeping with a key tenet of continuous delivery – the ability to separate code deploy from feature release.
