To create a working solution, all layers of the IoT Technology Stack—device hardware, device software, communications, cloud platform, and cloud applications—need to work together.

By Jim Semick. We’ve all heard about “strategic” product roadmaps. But what exactly does that mean in practice? A roadmap is a plan for your strategy that maps out the direction of your product. It provides context for your stakeholders and communicates the why behind what you’re building. Ideally, it’s a high-level visual summary that helps product managers get everyone on the same page.

For 80% of B2B products and services, the answer is generally NO! Kudos to the 20% that can. What’s the Definition of a Really Big Problem? In the B2B space, I define a really big problem as something target customer CEOs care about directly or no more than one degree removed from something on a CEO’s A-list.

As a product manager it’s not uncommon to feel pulled in a million different directions as you work to meet the needs of your customers, developers and company stakeholders. While there are a large number of tools which claim to help you to create value, for me, quite frankly, it boils down to only a few secret weapons which do not (most of the time) involve buying fancy software or subscribing to the latest project management doodads.

Benedict Evans at a16z recently tweeted the following: There’s so much truth in this tweet. And it resonates so much, I think it deserves a name: The Bad Product Fallacy. Your personal use cases and opinion are a shitty predictor of a product’s future success. I’ve been in the Bay Area for 10 years now , and nothing stings more than whiffing on the prediction of whether a product will be success.

January 2007. Ten years ago this week, I took a long, cloudy drive from Seattle to Silicon Valley on Highway 1 to start a new job and new life. I was barely 24 years old, in a hurry to change the world, and eager to begin my first day at MDV, a Silicon Valley venture firm, as their new Entrepreneur-in-Residence. It was 2007, and the iPhone hadn’t been released yet, YCombinator was just getting started, and MySpace was still bigger than Facebook.
