Why have Product Managers stopped speaking to customers? Very sadly, most product managers I meet today no longer talk directly to customers regularly. If you ask; “How many customers did you speak to this week?” …most invariably say zero. I know this because I asked. I ran a survey with industry insiders and at least 50% of all product managers who responded haven’t spoken to a customer recently.

Listen to this article: [link]. What the Scrum Master Should Do. While the role is discussed in many books and articles, I find that it is still not always correctly understood.

As a product discovery coach, I get asked a lot of questions. This makes complete sense—as people read my book, take one of my courses , go through my training , or watch one of my talks, they naturally wonder about applying the concepts of continuous discovery to their own work. They consider the ideas in the context of their own team and company. And sometimes they simply need a little further clarification and guidance in order to feel confident taking the next steps.

The most important journey any new product goes through is finding product/market fit. Marc Andreessen, who popularized the term, defined it as: Product/market fit means being in a good market with a product that can satisfy that market. Despite sounding so simple, the majority of new products fail due to never finding this illusive fit. This fit illudes both new startups creating their very first product as it does established organizations seeking to expand their product portfolio.

Engineers are often reluctant to participate in discovery. This is only natural: Through years of bad habits, many of us have shown engineers that we only value them for the code they can write. This is a common mistake that Teresa addressed in a Core Concepts post , saying “We’ve spent the past 30+ years asking engineers to be order takers.

My product leader coachees and I sometimes do calendar reviews. We look at their chock-a-block schedules, and talk about the struggle to address important things when faced with 7+ hours/day of meetings. We often feel a lack of agency (control), where our jam-packed calendars drive us from one discussion to the next — with no time to catch our breath or complete action items from the last six meetings.

Power equated to how much information you had access to. Kings built great libraries, and texts were rare and valuable things. Today, however, what was once scarce is abundant. We’re drowning in information.
