As product managers we engage in product debates every day with our design and engineering partners, fellow product managers, cross-functional partners, managers, executive stakeholders, and more. The best product debates help refine our solution, make us better as product managers, and are intellectually stimulating. Yet so often they don't feel anything like that.

The roles of managing a mobile product team and managing an entire company share many similarities. The biggest difference is that mobile product managers deeply interact with nearly every function within their organization, yet none of them report to them. However, the mental approach product managers need to take in order to succeed is more like a CEO than any other role.

Product management is a discipline where there is an unending to-do list, a fixed amount of time in the day, and enough outside influencers to make even the best multi-tasker whither and die. Yet good product managers always appear to be in control of the situation. This is a testament to several traits that are […].

There are many parts to a high-performing sales organization – the right people, processes and strategy, to start. But today, the underlying backbone of all of it is the right data.

There’s an old saying: “buyers are liars!” Good sales positioning and discovery techniques can help you understand true buyer motivations so you don’t end up in the Nobody Zone. If you’ve been in sales more than a month you’ve experienced a situation where buyers contact you to gather some must-have information to make an informed buying decision.

Summary: Product managers always find themselves trying to make disparate groups of people happy. FreeAgent has created a three-step framework to help manage this process across organisations. It starts by defining the core value of a product, in a way that everybody can understand, and then maps user journeys, at varying points of the user’s lifecycle.

Guest Post by: Chris Martens (Mentee, Session 7, The Product Mentor) [Paired with Mentor, Vikas Batra]. As product managers, we have chosen a career path in which there are ever-changing demands on our attention. Often, we feel that there is not enough time in a day to get everything done or to handle all of the priorities in front of us. Instead, we run from one action item to another, trying not to fall behind.

Product management responsibilities look completely different if you view them through the lens of the customer. For solution providers though, products are the basis for all things revenue and that can cloud the true objective of a product management function and how it operates. Success in product management and product marketing is first and foremost about understanding what your target customers want to accomplish and why it’s a priority.

We all love to attend product conferences and events like ProductTank. It’s where we learn, where we meet our tribe, and where we exchange experiences. But, as co-organiser for MTP Engage Hamburg (and I’m sure every other organiser of such events will agree), it’s hard to find speakers. It’s not hard to find people with interesting stories to tell, it’s just hard to get them on stage, and that’s sad to see because our community thrives on a sharing culture.

Prior to jumping into product roles at Shutterstock and Media Math, Holly studied chemical engineering, and practiced research science for several years. It is safe to say that “Experiment” is not a word she throws around lightly. In 2017, Holly was a guest on the This is Product Management podcast.

Managing culture can quickly become one of the most complex challenges for companies that seek to scale agile practices. If self-organization and continuous improvement aren’t already tricky enough in a team of 10 individuals, they represent a daunting challenge when teams grow to the hundreds (not mentioning companies of thousands of people). Scaling agile practices [1] in a company requires strong cultural foundations, as you build understanding and trust, between – and within – te

It’s a bit of a seductive thought that the grass is always greener on the other side.
