Addressing business challenges and goals starts with insightful ideas. But even when an organization has lots of ideas, these are sometimes based upon prior assumptions/conditions that may now be invalid. So, it’s valuable to have a process for generating/assessing ideas that meet the criteria of being: relevant, current, promising , and actionable , along with a way to cull the list and prioritize ideas for action.

For instance the definition of a minimum viable product in such a context is different: you cannot provide a healthcare coverage that works only sometimes, you need to partner with existing players and work with their legacy systems, you need to deeply understand and work within complex regulations, and so forth.

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.

December 6th’s Wall Street Journal called out that some of the Valley’s largest firms have delayed reporting metrics on engineering diversity. Clearly, this was because these firms were unexcited about the results, not because they had problems gathering data. Companies, like people, would rather not share unflattering results. I’ve been wrestling with a similar problem over the last few months.

While there are many factors that can shape the view of knowledge management within an organization, those who have come to truly understand its value are reaping the rewards.

After a few seconds of silence, Julie moves on to the next topic assuming that the stakeholders agree. But most people are still thinking about the idea or oppose it.

One of the critical responsibilities of product managers is driving the overall execution of their product. Relentless execution will ultimately determine whether you'll be able to make your product vision a reality. Driving the execution of your product not only means doing whatever it takes to make your product win, but it also encompasses a set of core project management responsibilities.
