Back when I was a manager, my senior management wanted to separate the “new” work from the “maintenance” work. I suggested that every new line after the first line of code was maintenance. The managers poo-poohed me. My concern: How would the “new” developers learn from their mistakes? I lost that discussion and I managed a team called “continuing engineering,” CE.

We all know that empathy is a key ingredient in developing lovable products, so what can product managers do to cultivate it? I had a relatively unusual upbringing, and because of my father’s profession, we moved around every couple of years when I was a child. I attended international schools in Yemen, Thailand and Finland, learning in classrooms with kids from all over the globe.

It happens every day. A company you bought something from months ago sends you an email with three immortal words: “We Miss You”. These messages feel icky because the sentiment is belated and insincere. Deep down we know that the business doesn’t really miss us. The business doesn’t know our sparkling personality or understand our unique contribution to the community – the business just misses our money.

Velocity. It is one of the most commonly used, abused, and misused metrics in Agile software development. Teams, their managers, and even their stakeholders often focus on “improving velocity” without considering the entire value delivery system.

About 18 months ago, I joined a tiny startup in Prague as a product designer. That tiny startup is now a series B company with 130+ employees and 2500+ customers. This is my journey. Hi, my name is Zdenek, and I’m a designer. In the summer of 2018, I became the third member of the productboard design team. Back then, the whole company had a little over 20 people.

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.

Good and bad metrics for product improvements No product manager, experience designer or software engineer would have a job if all they did is deliver products on time and on budget. Because, of course, anyone’s job is only as valuable as the value they create and any company only survives if it generates enough profit (unless you work for an NGO, the government or Uber ).
