Lately, I have been in a funk. Part of it is the isolation of the Covid era, and the enforced working from home. But a big part of it is the expectation I have that I am productive every second I am at my computer. However, I shouldn’t beat myself up over it. Product management is a role unlike any other.

I’ve hosted get-togethers with Customer Success executives nearly every month for the past 8 years. In the “old days” (pre-COVID), these featured conversation over fine dining. We substituted the merlot with a mute button in the new world – though we still mail our guests a flight of tasting wines. This past week, I invited my longtime friend and Gainsight advocate Dave Kellogg to join the happy hour.

Use this exercise to solicit buy-in, uncover exciting user questions, and get your stakeholders thinking user-centrically. .
Speaker: Scott Sehlhorst
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.

A fun way to develop your product vision is to hold a MadLibs game. Stakeholders individually fill in the following sentence: We help [ type of customer ] [ achieve a benefit ] by [ what we do best ] After writing this out silently on Post-its or an index card, participants can compare their responses, discuss, and hopefully come to a common vision.

. Product managers are usually outnumbered in an organization. There will always be far more salespeople, technical types, operations folks, and administrative staff due to the work’s nature. This usually means there’s a small team of product people. Sometimes they are in their own department or reporting into marketing or engineering. In some cases, there’s a product team of one.
