COVID-19 dramatically impacted how we live, learn, work, socialize, shop, and entertain ourselves. It has also changed how we interact with our favorite stores, restaurants, and service providers – even our healthcare providers. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t had a virtual doctor appointment, ordered groceries online, or used curbside pickup in 2020.

This was a year when it felt like history was unfolding in real time – rather than the narrative of our time taking shape gradually over months and years, events were seemingly getting inscribed straight into the collective memory every day, or sometimes every hour. Such turbulence is never pleasant to live through – we crave a steady, predictable pace of progress, and above all we crave a sense of control over that progress.

As a concept, Developer Experience (DX) has gained significant attention in the tech industry. It emphasizes engineers’ efficiency and satisfaction during the product development process. As product managers, we need to understand how a good DX can contribute not only to the well-being of our development teams but also to the broader objectives of product success and customer satisfaction.

Making a shift to product-led growth sounds pretty appealing, especially to product managers. Knowing your baby is the driving engine behind the entire company’s success puffs up our egos and makes our jobs seem more important than ever. But unless your company offers paid services along with its line of products, how is this different from “regular” growth?

In the five years I’ve spent at Amplitude, I’ve worked with hundreds of product development teams. What I’ve learned from them is that technical insight alone won’t make them or their product great.

New ideas are exciting. If you let yourself get carried away, it’s really, really hard to tell the difference between a good and bad one. There’s nothing worse from a personal and business perspective than investing your time, money, and effort into an idea, only to find out no one wants it or needs it. Or , to find out everyone thinks it’s a cool idea, but it’s not necessarily something they would pay for.

Problem-solving is one of the core characteristics of product managers. But the ability to solve customer problems does not always translate into the ability to solve problems for your own company. It is a slightly different skill to master, but very important for your ability to succeed.
