When you first learn product management, the terminology can get quite confusing. A couple of terms that the product management world introduced to the software product development domain are outcomes and OKRs. Since those two terms are used separately, it’s tempting to think they represent different concepts that are opposed to each other. That’s not the case.

FTE for full-time Equivalent (as in human beings!) “Resources” instead of the words: people, or human beings Construction metaphors, such as: build, which describes how we organize and create a usable product.

Many teams, like sales and marketing, have time-bound goals, like reaching $X in bookings or generating Y leads by a specific date. Product teams are also held to time-bound goals. Empowered product teams, for example, are asked to deliver outcomes each quarter. But sometimes companies take this too far. They ask product teams to deliver specific features by specific dates.

Here’s a simple example of portfolio positioning and how it makes your product positioning more strategic. Your accounts payable product improves the customer’s cash flow. It sounds strategic. What CFO doesn’t want a stronger balance sheet? Your accounts receivable product further enhances cash flow. Even more strategic when customers use both, right?

Assumption testing is at the heart of what good continuous discovery teams do week over week. It’s how we evaluate which ideas will work and which won’t. But before we can test our assumptions, we have to identify them. That’s not always as easy as it sounds. Assumptions are beliefs that need to be true in order for our ideas to succeed. The challenge is that we need to be able to see our assumptions before we can test them.

When it comes to Sprint Planning in the Scrum framework, precision and predictability are paramount. Yet Sprint Planning based on story points and average velocity, while popular, has inherent flaws.

In today’s world, digital media progressively filter communication. Instead of a face-to-face conversation, we send chat messages or schedule a video call. We prefer to shop online, and if we encounter any issues while doing so, we turn to chatbots.
