Business Strategy vs. Product Strategy. A business strategy describes how a company wants to achieve its overall aspiration and create value for its users, employees, and shareholders.

I was very excited to be on Roadmunk's podcast talking about Product Institute and how we teach Product Managers to think. The key takeaway is: it's not a linear process. Product Management involves a lot of assessing and analyzing before acting. Every project surrounding the improvement or creation of a product or feature will look different. Good Product Managers know how to evaluate where they are, then choose the right tools and processes to act.

A cloud security vendor was losing customers, and wasn’t sure why. They came to us and requested a series of buyer interviews to try to figure out what was driving their high rate of customer churn. When we started talking to their customers, we realized that the signs of their unhappiness had been loud and clear for a while. One interviewee told us there was “no way” the company should have been surprised when they left, given the hours of phone calls on product problems.

I am always a little disappointed by S1 filings. As a VC investor, ex-engineer and product leader, I am trained to look for the secret sauce in every business – the leading indicators of future outcomes that forecast what success could look like. However, most S1 filings just present the standard wall street analyst metrics like year-over-year growth, gross margin and cost of revenue.

I delivered a webinar called Agile Metrics for Team and Product Progress last week, thanks to the nice folks at Innovation Roots. I had fun and so did many of the participants. One person gave me a new saying about metrics (at the end, during the Q&A): Are you data-driven or data-informed? It’s such a great saying. I told her I was stealing it.

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.

David Cancel, CEO of Drift , former Chief Product Officer at HubSpot, and serial entrepreneur hates product roadmaps. He says, “Either I’m going to disappoint you by giving you exactly what we thought six months ahead of time was the best solution when it’s not, or by changing course and having lied to you.” And yet David shares roadmap info with his key customers all the time.

For most sales teams, “personalizing” a cold email simply means referencing a person’s job title or company and sending them links to case studies or blog posts in the hope of generating a single click-through. The conversation typically ends after that click. As sales people we might follow up with lots of “ just checking in ” emails, but these can feel spammy, and there are minimal results to show for it.

Dear Strategy: “How do you align on best practices to identify unmet needs?”. This happens to be one of my favorite subjects!
