AUGUST 9, 2018
It’s become rather commonplace lately for people to dismiss “Agile” out of hand as an industry buzzword with no meaning or substance to it. And in some ways, the term has earned that reputation — mostly from people who use it regularly without really knowing what it means or how it changes an organization — […].

You can generally separate the tickets your Support team receives into three distinct categories. First, there’s the actual legitimate questions , where a user doesn’t know how to use a particular feature, perhaps because there’s a gap in your help documentation. These are the tickets your Support team should be dealing with. Next up, you have the bugs.

I’m co-teaching a design course at Northwestern with my friend Jeff Merrell. We are teaching business leaders and change agents how to prototype their way to viable solutions. In this context, solutions aren’t product solutions, but rather internal programs and processes that effect change within the organization. Our students work on challenges like improving employee engagement, encouraging knowledge sharing between teams, making meetings more effective, and so on.

“The hallmark of successful scaling is knowing when to hit the brakes so you can scale faster later,” according to Bob Sutton, organizational behavior expert at Stanford’s School of Engineering. I couldn’t agree more. Finding the right moment to enter the growth phase is crucial. Startups are quite vulnerable to focusing too much on scaling fast in terms of customers, employees, and revenue, while neglecting the equally important growth mindset and culture that is needed in order to prepare for

The abundance of software tools on offer today brings with it a whole host of challenges. For product builders, it’s never been harder to get discovered in such a crowded marketplace. For users, having your workflows and data spread across multiple siloed tools in many different places brings unnecessary complexity to day-to-day work. It’s no wonder that companies like Slack, Salesforce and Intercom have invested in an ecosystem made up of smart people building things in one place, allowing cust

Recently a CEO asked me if the marketing department should include product management and marketing communications. His concern was that internet/digital marketing had become so complex and such a huge task that having the responsibility of both marketing communications and product management would be difficult. It’s a good concern and a great question, one that underscores that the product management function has matured and become more essential, and as he pointed out, the internet has made bo

When was the last time you had an idea you were 100% certain would be a success? Was it actually successful? If you build products for a living you likely know that scenario above rarely happens. The reality of product management is that most of the ideas we generate fail. There are a host of reasons why failure is the most common outcome that I won’t get into now, but the crux of the matter is that developing something new involves a high degree of uncertainty.

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.

CONNECTION REQUESTS SPAM This year I’ve noticed an increase in the amount of LinkedIn connection requests hitting my inbox from people I don’t know, never met, and who seemingly have no identifiable education or work history overlap with me. This is not a new phenomenon, but it seems to be on the rise, making most of my LinkedIn requests spam. These generic invitations include no introduction or description of why someone would want to connect with me.

In August of 2015, Vanity Fair ran an article castigating hookup culture. The author prophesized a “dating apocalypse” and decried the multifarious dating apps of the day. The article pointed a finger at, among others, Hinge for “ swiping romance from the screen. ”. Back then, Hinge’s app–just like Tinder and Bumble–allowed profile swiping, a feature inspired by slot machine gaming psychology and widely blamed for trivializing modern romance.
