Product managers – while not the sole provider of innovative ideas – must orchestrate and foster a workplace that cultivates innovation. As team leaders, successful product managers have a pulse on their customer base and deep understanding of their market. But innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It comes from collaboration. Product managers bring invaluable expertise on both buyer personas and market movements which can often lead to breakthrough ideas.

Let’s talk about that trickiest of subjects: Product Judgment. Also known as Product Intuition or Product Instinct or Product Taste, it is the idea that you can use your own judgment to (1) accurately predict what your customers need, want and value, and (2) design and ship the right solution for them. Here, I will tackle some of the common questions around it: Does it exist?

How do you know that you are doing discovery well? If you want to improve your discovery process, what outcomes help you track your progress? I get asked these questions often. I like that teams are trying to take an outcome-focused mindset to their discovery practice. The good news is setting discovery outcomes is no different from setting any other outcome.

While every business is always looking for great ideas and new products, it’s rarely a matter of ‘build it and they will come’. Product Managers know how important it is to test business ideas and new products before proceeding with a full scale launch. However, what is more difficult is knowing how to test, how long to test for and what to look out for when you test your business ideas.

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.

But most of our high value work is concentrated in a few areas: thinking about product vision and strategy, piecing together various forms of input to figure out priorities, looking at product from different angles, preparing for major meetings to make sure they are productive.

At a minimum, I believe we need to start thinking remote-first. While we will eventually head back to our offices, we want to prepare ourselves to do it better next time. Even better is to embrace it going forward, perhaps with office/remote hybrids that take advantage of the benefits of both worlds.

Many founders are confused whether to outsource their MVP development to a development agency (or a freelancer) vs. build it fully in-house. The confusion lies in the fact that many investors / serial tech founders often share that one should own everything in-house and not outsource the development.
