20% is boring. As many of you know, there’s a technique called a “ retrospective ” in scrum, or you might call it a debrief. After each sprint the team spends a short amount of time reviewing what went well, what could be improved, and what they should stop doing. The goal is for the team to learn quickly from each sprint. So, let’s say I really wanted my team to start doing retrospectives, and the team is unwilling.

Some days it feels like Agile frameworks are dictating how product management is done. At a minimum, they seem to be dominating the product management narrative in the software industry. If that’s true, it’s not good for your products and it’s not good for your organization. On the other hand, when product management and Agile are 100% complementary, the end result is solutions that make customers better at whatever they do. .

A Hands-on Event on June 14th, 2017. By Garima Painuly – As product managers, we know we should obsess over our customers.

At every tech or product management talk I go to there is invariably a slide about HiPPOs – standing for the “Highest Paid Person’s Opinions” It’s a term used to describe a senior member of the organisation who is not attached to the delivery team full time, and who is expressing a perspective that the delivery team feels it has good reason to ignore.

As the team discussed our rollout plan, we all agreed that testing the design before launch would be the right thing to do—we are, after all, focused on user-centered design. The problem was doing testing in a timely manner, while still gathering enough information to make sure our new homepage would provide a fantastic experience for our readers.” This was the state of things when Marli Mesibov, Editorial D

If you have a talk with a product manager and you ask them what the most challenging part of their job’s product development definition is, more often than not you’ll get the answer “pricing” As product managers we’d like to maximize the amount of money that the company gets each time it sells our product.

I’ve been Roadmunk’s newest product manager for 120 days (give-or-take). And while it’s been a career-changing gig full of growth, it’s also been… peculiar. I say peculiar for a couple of reasons: I joined a product organization as a product manager for a tool for other product managers. Feels like some weird Inception s**t sometimes. Roadmunk is a small product organization, so every day I report to and work with our CEO, Latif Nanji.

The usage of biometric sensors, such as Touch ID or fingerprint authentication, to elevate the security of mobile applications has been proliferating significantly. A key factor in this trend is the convenience and simplicity offered to the end user via onboard sensors. Users and brands are benefitting from increased sense of security in user flows: initially, biometrics were perceived as a credential-form replacement at the login stage.

The pop-culture concept of a silver bullet – a simple solution to a hard problem – is a dangerous idea. It can be used to over-promise, and doom a team to under-delivery. When an executive, too far removed from what makes creating products hard thinks of “agile” as a silver bullet it becomes difficult to manage expectations.

When I was a product manager, I encountered a scenario that is probably familiar to my fellow PMs here. One of our products had so much killer functionality, it could basically do the equivalent of launching rockets for network security. But as we started to dig into use by our customers, one of the most utilized pieces of functionality was a very minor testing feature, something that accounted for about one percent of the product’s total functionality.
