Your shiny new product is almost ready and the Chiefs want to know: How many people will buy it? Who will buy it? What’s the revenue forecast? Feel like you’re throwing a Dart against a Roulette Wheel? Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. – Mark Twain, American author and humorist. “Sizing a market opportunity has always been problematic.

We’ve certainly made great progress here at Mind the Product: our audience has grown with 50% growth in traffic, 45% growth in newsletter subscribers, and 38% growth in the number of ProductTanks around the world (we’re now in 138 cities!).

I want to cross-pollinate a tweetstorm on lessons I’ve learned from a decade of professional writing. In a way, it’s a followup to some more general life lessons from 10 years of living in the Bay Area.

Sometimes, I have to be reminded of the obvious. Duh! Earlier, I was coaching a company on pricing. As I was listening to descriptions of their customers, their channels and the problems they solve, my mind was swirling with ideas. Let me tell you, these ideas were brilliant. They were amazing … almost. After probably 30 minutes of conversation, I asked, “What’s the goal?

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

There’s a well-known theory in psychology known as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, named after its creator Abraham Maslow.

Much has been written about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Borrowing from the 2007 John McCarthy paper What is Artificial Intelligence? , AI is defined as: “… the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.”.

Dashboard screens are nice to look at but hard to make correctly Image Credit: Andrea. If you’ve had a chance to jump into a new car lately, undoubtedly your attention has been drawn to the dashboard screen that just about every car has nowadays. Car manufactures are changing their product development definition and moving more and more of the car’s control and monitoring systems over to these centralized dashboards in order to attempt to simplify the process of driving their cars.

DECEMBER 19, 2017
For better or worse, the turning of a calendar year conveniently provides us with an opportunity for introspection. This time of year, we examine what we have accomplished, how we feel about it, what we want to do, what we dream of doing, and what our goals are for the coming year. Sadly for us all, this kind of attention is often only lavished on taking yoga classes or learning the ukulele, albeit worthy goals, but it is never applied to our careers.
Speaker: Scott Sehlhorst
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.

I want to discuss the urgent need to advance AI for all American business, not just Silicon Valley insiders. But first I have a confession to make. Like millions of others, I’m a fan of the HGTV show “Fixer Upper.” Don’t judge! It’s a nice way to unwind after work. Now entering its fifth and final season, fans of the show know that most episodes follow a simple format: Agreeable hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines take potential homebuyers to three ugly houses around Waco, Texas, and explain how the wr

At the start of 2017 I made several predictions about UX design and research. Let’s see how I did. Happy December! Hopefully you had a great 2017 and (soon) a very happy 2018! It’s been an exciting and productive year for us and I hope it has been for you as well. A quick recap for UserZoom – in early 2017 we redesigned the entire UserZoom product and have consistently improved it throughout the year, and will continue to do the same in 2018.

Continually sourcing users is one of the core challenges for product teams that want to rapidly experiment and validate product decisions. To be effective in most enterprise contexts, you’ll need procedures to mitigate bias and a streamlined technology in order to define and source an audience for ongoing testing. For product teams just beginning to make the shift to data-driven practices, it’s common to simply get feedback from family, friends, or patrons of a nearby Starbucks.

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.

Tracking Leads is a Waste of Time. One of the most common ways to measure the performance of a product marketing manager is by the number of leads she generates. The approach comes from the old sales phrase “It’s a numbers game!” “Get me more leads and I’ll close more deals!” Not likely. What’s needed is a way to check on the health of the product, to monitor its vitals.
