How can you gauge whether your product is hitting the mark? We’re not talking just good. We’re talking great, nailed it, hit it out of the park. Measuring product success ultimately comes down to one thing, and it’s the best barometer for what sales, customer retention, user engagement, wallet share and other success metrics should be. In B2B, the pinnacle of product success is when your products consistently make people (users) measurably better at their jobs in ways that have quantifiable stra

A good product manager generally has a keen instinct for human behavior. However, the best product managers have learned how to incorporate the science of human behavior in a more rigorous way than just relying on instinct. This post (with a nod from Ben Horowitz’s seminal post) introduces the idea of a behavioral product manager (BPM) – a product manager who integrates the science and methods of behavioral science into product design, and discusses the traits of good BPMs and bad B

Amazon rolled out a product that went away very quickly, who screwed up? Image Credit: Canonicalized. Let’s face it, Amazon is a very big company that has done a lot of things correctly. We all know that we can visit their web site, pick out something that we want and almost magically it’s going to show up at our door in just a few days.

Guest Post by: Roli Bhotika (Mentee, Session 5, The Product Mentor) [Paired with Mentor, Zoe Feltham]. The most important lesson I learned in The Product Mentor program with Jeremy and Zoe was that Product Management has a language. That I spoke that language every day but my grammar needed some work. In more precise terms, my prioritization process factored in the things that it should, I just didn’t know how to translate it to ROI and present it logically.

We see too many examples of surge pricing done poorly, with companies raising prices during peak times. Finally, there is an example of it done well in a post from The Week. The ONLY difference: they are lowering prices during off-peak hours rather than raising pricing during peak. Notice the tone of the article is complementary. Other companies are watching to see if it works.

The median product is dying a slow death. If that seems like an overstatement, then the fact of the matter is that if usage rates are declining, a product is probably – not necessarily, but probably – in trouble. The 2017 Mixpanel Product Benchmarks Report showed that Average Daily Active User (ADAU) growth, in which active users are defined as “active” if they perform any action in a product, was actually negative in two of the four categories we measured: SaaS and media & en

Successful customers, quality product, but bad sales. When I started as the Director of Product Management at my last company, they had a lot of successful and enthusiastic customers, a product that worked – although a bit long in the tooth – and a good lead pipeline. But they had one big problem. The sales team was missing quota, every quarter!

When you hear the words “artificial intelligence,” (AI) what’s the first thing you think of: robots doing backflips , Alexa , medical diagnostic innovations or something else? If you’re a business intelligence (BI) and analytics application user, it’s likely that “data-driven insight to the masses” will soon be top-of-mind. Machine learning will transform BI and analytics.

Testing your product ideas in prototype form is a critical part of the product life cycle. While surveys are powerful for learning about user preferences, testing interactive prototypes are needed to generate specific, insightful feedback about how your users understand and interact with your product. Unfortunately, prototype creation can take a very long time, delaying testing and preventing quick iterations to your product.
