You probably have played an escape room game before. If you haven’t the purpose of an escape room is to discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks to reach a specific goal in a limited amount of time.

Listen to this article: [link]. What is Empathy and What is It Not? Empathy is our capacity to understand other people’s feelings and needs, to take the perspective of another person. Empathy entails a warm-hearted, open, and kind attitude. This does not mean, though, that you must like the other person and that you must be happy and smiley all the time—nor does it mean sugar-coating messages, only telling people what they want to hear, and putting up with issues.

Today’s economic forecast is uncertain. However, there are simple testing ideas you can try to make the most of a difficult situation. Your first inkling would be to cut costs: it’s hard to argue against that. But, make sure that your efforts to save are not damaging growth and retention. A second axis to consider is that your customers themselves have less interest in spending.

Bad Feedback Doesn’t Always Mean Your Product Is Bad Bad product feedback is a bummer. But contrary to what you might think, it doesn’t always mean your product is bad. Products are always meant to serve someone, and if it wasn’t built for the person who gave you the feedback, there is no reason to feel bad about it. Here is a quick guide to strategic thinking about product feedback.

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.

When you reach senior level on an engineering track, you’re expected to be optimal in your hard skill set. You’re autonomous, your code is immaculate, and you have a deep understanding of building and shipping software. But going into staff plus roles is another beast entirely. There’s project management, mentorship and teaching, decision-making, relationship-building, and the value you bring to the company is no longer measured by the quality of the lines of your code but rather by driving the

Two pervasive challenges and what to do about them. Photo by Eric Rothermel on Unsplash Product teams constantly do discovery and delivery activities to validate and understand what they need to build, and then ship it successfully to their customers. These activities are mostly opportunity-driven (or initiative-driven, or idea-driven, meaning that you execute them for a given “thing” that you want to explore and build).

Having a super goal helps a team form an elite identity. Together, a super goal and clear identity help drive team performance, and ultimately drive the success of new products. The term “super goal” doesn’t necessarily mean a stretch goal or an outlandish, unachievable target. And “super identity” isn’t about putting on a mask and cape. A super goal-or superordinate goal as academics call it-is a goal worth completing that requires different groups to cooperatively achieve.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
