What do you do when you just know your plan is working, but can’t prove it? Whether you’re trying to win a football game–or your market–the answer is to dig deeper into the data. Back in 1985, now-legendary San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh was brought in to turn around the worst team in the National Football League (NFL).

It’s time to talk about part-time working. Specifically, how to work well as a part-time product manager, the benefits this arrangement brings to you and your company, and how to tackle the common perception that part-time simply cannot work.

Customer success is the new measure of business success. Today, our organizations are judged less on the services we provide, but more on how those services help customers get to where they want to be.

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.

We see our product as accelerating a virtuous cycle of learning, transparency, outcomes, alignment, and autonomy. The journey to becoming a “real product team” ( see Marty Cagan ) is neverending, difficult, and non-linear, but making insights accessible directly to teams can have a far-reaching effect.
