Lead on Purpose
MARCH 19, 2018
Business owners and entrepreneurs are often asked this leader vs. manager question regarding their management style. For many, these two words are synonymous; both are important for motivating people to work towards a common goal.

No matter how good your product is, if you can’t tell a cohesive, compelling story about it, you’re going to have a very hard time getting people’s attention when you actually do take it to market. Companies like Amazon understand this well and are rightly famous for their “work backwards” philosophy. You start by writing the press release, to articulate how the world will see your product, and then work backwards until you get to the minimum set of technology requirements to achieve your goals

Where SaaS companies get prioritization wrong and a new approach to get it right There are many ways to prioritize what makes it onto your SaaS product roadmap and most of them are incredibly time-consuming and only done by your product teams. As a result, a lot of product decisions are made on gut feeling, incomplete information, the loudest voice in the room, and the most demanding customers.
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.

Excerpts from our conversation with The Best Product Person of 2017, Melissa Perri. In the Now. > What do you like least about being a product manager? Bureaucracy is my least favorite part of Product Management. Even if you are an excellent Product Manager, you’re only as good as the environment you are in. So many companies have policies and practices that prohibit people from learning and experimenting.

Promising product idea? Check. Good team? Check. Nice budget? Check. Success guaranteed? Not yet. A well-planned product release plays just as crucial a role as the product itself. It can all fall apart in seconds. So, how do we determine how and when to release? Making your product lovable might just hold the key to it all. MLP is the new black. Remember our old friend, the MVP?

We’ve been putting together our product roadmap for the next release recently, and I wanted to share a step-by-step thought process that helps me think through what makes it into the roadmap. TLDR: Start with the user you want to target, figure out what they want to do with your product, and then decide what features will enable them to do so. Flipping this order around and starting with features makes it harder to think holistically about the entire experience users have with your product.

In his book, “ What Do You Want Your Customer to Become ,” author and MIT Research fellow Michael Schrage challenges his readers to think beyond the traditional criteria that go into calculating what is agreed upon across industries as one of the most important metrics to measure – customer lifetime value. It’s a sort of “ask not what your country can do for you,” paradigm that he introduces into the customer lifetime value conversation.

It turns out that some video stores still do exist – how have they done this? Image Credit: Eric Parker. Can anyone remember back in the day when there used to be a video rental store on just about every corner? We’d all head down to the rental store on a Friday with hopes that the latest release would be still in stock. We’d browse the aisles, pick out our one or two movies, perhaps grab some popcorn and then check the movies out for two nights.

Yes, you’ve read it right! If you work in a product team or in a digital business, you’ve probably heard a lot about this topic, or might even have lost some sleeping nights due to the lack of it in your daily basis. I think that there is no doubt whether designers and product team should work together and if both of them are essential to achieving great results.

A majority of SaaS companies that I have built products for have brought their products to market with a sales led G2M motion. The sales reps would source new customers through outbound efforts and engaging their professional network. This method was great when we were trying to find product-market fit as the sales reps were close to the customer and we had easy access to interview the customers we engaged with.

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.
