Product management specializations have trended upwards in recent months. These “specializations” often place focus around a specific set of skills or needs a company has, somewhat creating a division within the product manager role. Are we breaking apart the product manager role a bit too much?

Onboarding new users is one of the biggest challenges a technical product faces. This is doubly true when a portion of those would-be users don’t have technical backgrounds. If you want to boost product activation and retention, a one-and-done, low-touch onboarding flow simply won’t cut it.

Product market fit, often just called product/market or “P/M” is one of the most important Lean Startup concepts. There is a lot of information out there about why it’s important for having a successful product and grow your business, but finding out how to achieve product-market fit can still feel elusive.

I’m often asked what KPIs B2B/enterprise product folks should use, or what OKRs they should choose. This is (of course) an unreasonable question, as every product/ business has its own uniqueness. Why KPIs from consumer companies don’t fit well with B2B/enterprise. But I find they don’t map well to enterprise companies.

If speaking realistically, product churn is inevitable for SaaS companies but decreasing churn by just 5% can cause your profit to rise as much as 25-125%. That means you shouldn’t aim for zero churn but to drive revenue up to a point where it surpasses the amount you lose due to churn. What is a good churn rate?
