You’ll likely know all about creating user personas by now. It’s an essential tool in any UX designer’s kit. Your app or site will likely have thousands of users, so it’s not possible for you to cater to all of their needs. However, if you create a fictional character that has lots in common with your customer base and then target your app at them, you’ll likely appeal to most of your users.

Security is someone else’s problem. It’s up to IT. The developers will handle it. We use AWS or Azure, so we’re cool. We use someone else’s payment gateway, so they’ve got it covered. We’re just a startup, who’s going to want to hack us? Sound familiar? Product managers don’t want to spend time worrying about security. Bolstering digital defenses doesn’t generate revenue.

In 2017, I joined ServiceTitan as director of technical project management. My top priority was to create better and more efficient processes for the product and engineering organizations. The company’s overall strategic focus was to onboard enterprise customers and gain market share. To facilitate these goals, our team was split into separate “squads.” Each squad.

Marty Cagan, whom we at productboard admiringly refer to as the “godfather of product management”, describes product discovery as follows: “First, you need to discover whether there are real users out there that want this product…Second, you need to discover a product solution to this problem that is usable, useful, and feasible.” In short, product discovery is a process that helps product teams.

A while ago, I was interviewing a VP of Product candidate for a client. They were on the case study portion of the interview, where they had to prioritize major initiatives for the company. We explained that the objective wasn’t to get the prioritization completely right, and it was more for us to understand their thought process. They had access to any people or any data they needed from the company.

Many engineers who make the transition to a management role face a bit of a conundrum – if I stop doing hands-on work, my team will lose a strong engineer and instead will gain an inexperienced manager. When I became a manager three years ago, this thought kept popping into my head, especially in the first few months, and breaking out of this mindset was one of the biggest challenges in my transition from maker to manager.

Are product revenue and profitability goals a good metric or are they counterproductive? If the target markets for each product are mutually exclusive, product revenue and profitability goals don’t present any issues in B2B. The trouble starts when you have multiple products that target the same exact markets and customers. Here’s why. Individual product goals force each product team to compete for development resources, marketing resources and mind share with the sales team – all in

In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
