Product managers wear many hats, but one of the most uncomfortable ones they’re forced to occasionally don is that of the product vision “Gatekeeper.” This particular aspect of product management requires PMs to do what most people find uncomfortable… say “no.”. Of course, product managers say ‘no” all the time, but it’s usually to bad ideas or things requiring resources that are simply unavailable.
Dear Strategy
JULY 23, 2019
Dear Strategy: “How do I align my product strategy and product roadmap with our technology roadmap, in the face of a strong engineering organization?”. Ahh, the product roadmap… such an overused yet somehow still elusive term! Before I even touch the last part of this question about the role that engineering should or shouldn’t play with respect to roadmaps, I first want to straighten out a few definitions that, hopefully, will put this question into a much clearer light.

Clear guiding principles are the best way to scale a team while keeping them aligned. Without a set of principles, organizations begin to fracture. One team heavily believes in Big Design Up Front , another follows Lean start-up , a third tries to instil PRINCE-2 , and before you know it your process is a patchwork quilt of all sorts of conflicting ways to build software.

A nice bit of serendipity this week: this week’s guest, Josh Seiden, had his new book ( Outcomes Over Output ) recommended in last week’s episode by guest Rich Mironov. While we didn’t plan this, it’s no surprise – Josh is a respected author, speaker, trainer, and consultant, and the book is a fantastic read. As a bonus, it’s also designed to be read in an hour or so, which means that there’s an awful lot of substance with a minimum of filler.

Wanna generate leads? Or perhaps sell your products? Or simply collect data? You must have an enticing landing page design! A platform which – hence the name – acts as an arrival point in undiscovered terrain for curious users who land there after clicking on an ad in search of information. This gives you an opportunity to make contact with them, gather their data, or make them a tempting offer.
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.

In the last quarter of 2018, an article on Forbes read out some forecasts about mobile apps usage in India. One statement read as such: App Annie forecasts that by 2022, India will have 37.2 billion downloads a year, a growth rate of 207%?—?which makes it by far the fastest growing app market in the world. However, no matter how rosy and prospective the app market looks from the exterior, with more than 2 million apps available for download, the competition is nothing short of cut throat.

Part 1 was about seeing the value in the various projects. I called the value stream a product so that people would think about who would use it and why. I suggested that we stop work on specific products when you have more products than teams. That would allow you to work on other projects in service of different products. Now it's time to see what you've got.
