Lead on Purpose
JANUARY 30, 2017
We’re almost done with the first month of 2017. Most statistics I’ve read about people who set new year’s resolutions show that more than half have already given up by this point in the year (in less than one month).

Users. As its name suggests, a user story describes how a user or customer uses the product–a digital product is captured from the perspective of the users. This avoids a solution-centric view where we worry more about how to provide and implement the product features than why and how people will use them. Understanding who the users are and how the product will benefit them is central to discovering and creating the right stories.

Finance should NOT set prices. Finance cares a lot about pricing because they focus on profitability. They need to project how profitable the company will be and price is a major component for them. Absolutely, they care about pricing. But finance should NOT set prices. Here’s the problem: Finance people do not know the value of their products. If they set prices, the only strategy they can use is use cost plus.

My interest piqued by the musical, I recently completed Ron Chernow’s 832-page biography, Alexander Hamilton. I knew I would learn about government, finance, and philosophy from Hamilton, but I didn’t know I would learn about being a product manager. Hamilton’s “Non-Stop” approach to life and work highlighted three essential activities for product managers: While great sales people should Always Be Closing, great product managers—like Hamilton—should Always be Readin’, Writin’, and Synthesizin’.

Customer journey mapping (CJM) is an underestimated marketing tool. Because customer journey maps can be hard to create and their results cannot always be tracked, it can be tempting to use other ways to increase conversion rates on a company website or online shop. But sometimes, you need to create a customer journey map to understand what your prospective customers are doing on your website, why are they buying your goods or services and – more importantly -why they are not buying.

We all need to change our product development definition because everything in the future will.be sold online. Well, ok, maybe not.

Has anyone ever really created the perfect piece of software? I’d venture that the answer is a resounding “No!”. Every product has its flaws, whether in user experience, feature set, bugs, or technical debt. And I think we all know and accept that. Most product leaders are realists. Perfect to a product manager usually means done right, not flawless.

Many large enterprises look at start up companies with envy at their speed of innovation i.e. Learning. There is always a raft of excuses to why the large company can't move quickly, typically comparing itself to the agility of an oil tanker. In most cases this is total b t, most large businesses are more like a fleet of small boats, each if it was so inclined could manoeuvre at high speed.

Often times when we broach the concept of expand selling to TSIA member companies, the question is asked, “Why can't sales just do this for themselves? After all, upselling and cross-selling are, in fact, selling, and selling is what salespeople do.” Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Regardless of how hesitant they might be to join the revenue-generation party, expand selling initiatives have to be driven by the service delivery teams.

Wealth made simple: news and articles from IRC Wealth. Most B2B organizations use a M arket R equirements D ocument (MRD) for driving new solutions to market. How much of the content in those MRDs should be pure market requirements versus product requirements? A good rule of thumb — 100% market and 0% product. If MRD’s are supposed to reflect the needs of the market, they should be market specific not product specific.
