Your product management maturity model isn’t so much about what your team can do. It’s what your team can do for the customer. From either perspective, it’s the skill level and proficiency of your team as it matures. But if customer value is always the end game, make quantifiable customer outcomes the driving force in your product management maturity model and the path becomes shorter, faster and easier to measure.

Do you or your managers want people to be happy at work? That's a laudable goal. And, in my experience, unrealistic. That's because happiness is an outcome of a person's current life context. Instead of happiness, let's consider satisfaction. When we consider satisfaction, we might discover ways to create a great work environment. That satisfaction might offer more opportunities for happiness.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.
