Half of the calls I get from CEOs include requests for Product Management to boost productivity in Engineering (aka Development aka Makers). This reflects confusion about what product managers do (and how we really add value), and often poor role definition where product managers are also project/program managers or engineering leads.

TL;DR A product manager leads the product management team and is responsible for overseeing all stages of the product development process. They earn more than developers, astronauts, and even attorneys, but less than surgeons. The Director of Product is accountable for multiple product lines and manages product management teams.

Over the last three decades, across 10 full-time jobs and 150 consulting clients, I’ve headed up product teams 18 times (mostly as interim VP ) and helped another dozen companies choose their Head of Product. They don’t value experience running product management teams , instead overweighting narrow technical or market segment familiarity.

Everywhere I go, I see massive amounts of product waste : development work delivered on time/on budget that doesn’t drive sales or customer satisfaction or business improvement.  Yet  We shout past each other using secret keywords (“agile”) and assuming bad intent.  Project teams that ship v1.0

of leadership roles. I wanted to learn more about what challenges are deterring women from entering leadership career paths in tech. My official title was the ‘COO’ but on Fridays, I made pancakes for the developers. There are very few women in leadership positions and there is a reason for that – it’s not random.

I’ve asked friends who do the job at social events and got the same answer, and frequently asked members of my own teams, who struggled to find the time to do it. To compensate, I’ve seen UX researchers & designers pick up the mantle a lot more, and the design teams have really leaned into this space.

Fallacy #1: ‘Agile’ Equals More Bang for the Buck If you ask founders and managers of startups why they want to become an agile organization, they typically name reasons such as: Becoming more efficient in software delivery, Delivering faster, Improving the predictability of software deliveries. There seems to be a belief?

We surveyed and interviewed key people in our teams to understand how they worked and how they saw Intercom’s internal operations. Honest feedback can be hard to take, but it’s essential to develop the type of culture that encourages people to constructively criticize processes, leadership styles, or approaches. Paul: Yeah.

Teams are praised whenever they release a new feature (or product) to their customers. Employees on these teams likely felt proud to share something new with the world and maybe even posted their accomplishment on LinkedIn to spread the word and celebrate.

If my product needed a better value proposition, I worked with customers to invent it and finance to determine how much new value we could capture. When I was at HERE Maps, working with various teams to implement things, they didn’t just “do it.” My teams move markets.

When I first decided to start The Silicon Valley Product Group, I had just left eBay and had some very strong opinions about what makes great product teams, and great product cultures, and while there were more than a few important thinkers and leaders on these topics, one area that I felt was under-represented was the role of product management.

Just as every organization needs a finance/accounting team that follows GAAP and tracks cashflow. So we should take the time to propose various metrics, review them with our teams, argue a bit, and consider our first choices as experiments rather than instant full-year commitments. But metrics aren’t generic.
