“I’m drowning in a never-ending todo list“, “I can’t be everywhere at once“, “I’m not good enough“ In my coaching work I constantly hear these frustrations from product leaders. It’s no surprise – product leadership is a tough gig, but strong product leadership is vital if companies are to be product-led and achieve growth.

Product Goals Defined. The Scrum Guide released in November 2020 states that “the product goal describes a future state of the product … [It] is the long-term objective for the Scrum team.” It also suggests that “the product goal is in the product backlog. The rest of the product backlog emerges to define ‘what’ will fulfill the product goal.” The product owner is accountable for “developing and explicitly communicating the product goal.

When you’re working in a fast-paced industry, it’s all too easy to reach burnout no matter what role you’re in. And when you work on multiple concurrent projects and across lots of teams, the risk of burnout isn’t just high, it can feel inevitable. Many individual contributors (such as researchers, visual designers, content strategists, data scientists) who work horizontally across teams can be viewed as an infinite resource.

We’ve all seen it: Disgruntled customers taking to the app stores to gripe about something that has literally nothing to do with the mobile app experience. Why is this? Unfortunately, app store reviews are often the only easily-accessible place (aside from social media) for customers to air their grievances. What should be used as a showcase of glowing customer feedback that attracts new customers turns into a catch-all for any and all customer opinions that subsequently works against that goal.

Almost 5 years ago, I found myself starting a job that focused around training, and skills validation, and my area of focus was in the future of work, as well as the seismic change that “Digital Transformation” was having on the workplace ecosystem. A major part of my early research on this was reading a lot of papers, white papers, articles, and just general digging into the topics related.

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.

Such applications as Uber looks like an insurmountable goal for regular people. Once it was launched, it stole the show. And it changed anything in the taxi world. The good news is that you can create an app like Uber just in 1500 hours. Sounds impressive, but it makes the goal measurable and achievable. All you need is a company providing React Native services and an outstanding team of developers who know exactly what they’re doing.

As I've been speaking about the Modern Management Made Easy books, people ask these questions: We're pretty good with our agile approach. It's time for performance reviews. How do we reward someone based on individual work when we want teams to work together? What do we do? Can we extend whatever that is to our hiring effort? What does performance management look like when we want to reward people for their collaboration?

On the surface, B2B customer support issues might look quite different from those of B2C. Typically, B2B issues can be more complex, require the collaboration of a lot more departments within the company, and are often in direct dialogue with the consumer, rather than a buying team or committee. But despite these differences, Farhan Virji , VP of Customer Happiness at Later , believes that there is actually quite a lot that B2B support teams can learn from their B2C colleagues.

That often creates a problem: great technical people become insufficient managers.

Part 1 discussed a typical career ladder. I said that when we focus on individual achievements and deliverables, we ignore the agile system of work. Worse, when we reward individual achievements we prevent an agile culture. That's because agile teams learn together as they create the product. We need career ladders that reward working together. There's an interesting reinforcing feedback loop here: The team learns by working together.
