Business Strategy vs. Product Strategy. A business strategy describes how a company wants to achieve its overall aspiration and create value for its users, employees, and shareholders. It’s distinct from the product strategy : The business strategy states how the company will be successful, whereas the product strategy describes how a product will achieve success, as the following picture illustrates.

I was very excited to be on Roadmunk's podcast talking about Product Institute and how we teach Product Managers to think. The key takeaway is: it's not a linear process. Product Management involves a lot of assessing and analyzing before acting. Every project surrounding the improvement or creation of a product or feature will look different. Good Product Managers know how to evaluate where they are, then choose the right tools and processes to act.

For Duolingo, the world’s most downloaded education app, growth is fundamentally about retention. If users don’t stick around, they won’t learn and inevitably won’t share Duolingo with their friends. As VP of Marketing and Growth at Duolingo through 2017, improving retention was the top priority of Gina Gotthilf. In her five years there, she helped take Duolingo from 3 million users to more than 200 million.

The way we interact with the world is increasingly determined by the software we use, but despite that growing dependence, we only truly connect with software on an emotional level when it speaks to us in a distinctly human voice. So, how does software take on a personality of its own? That’s typically where marketing comes in. At eFounders , we launch 4 new startups each year.

We’ve all been aware of the benefits of organizing your team with a small, cross-functional core team structure since the early 1990s when Wheelwright and Clark published their seminal research in “Revolutionizing Product Development” My colleagues and I used to joke that your entire core team should be able to fit inside a minivan. Today, the principle is being popularized by companies like Amazon using the two-pizza rule – a team shouldn’t be larger than it can be fed by two

Let’s begin with a hypothetical scenario: You’ve spent the last two weeks perfecting your pitch. You’ve thought through every possible objection anyone might have to your plan. You’ve carefully justified your choice of programming language and why you just need to use a complex gossip protocol to build the system – it is theoretically the “best” language, but it’ll be tricky to get right (and yet really fun to build).

Once upon a time I believed that to be a successful product manager, I simply had to create great products. The rest would fall into place, right? Well, not quite…. For years I’ve helped my clients create new digital products and services for their customers. We threw terms like product/market fit around, without ever really giving a thought to what they meant.

We’ve written a lot about how to send the right message at the right time. And while timing is important, how many messages you send also plays a role in your customers’ experience. If your customers feel they’re receiving too many messages, it’s not just about message volume. There’s more at play. First, it’s important to note there’s a big difference between actual communication volume and perceived communication volume (i.e., the number of messages a customer feels they’re receiving).

Web accessibility is the name given to the practice of making websites more usable and inclusive to people with disabilities. On the face of it, most people would agree that web accessibility is a good thing. But a lot of myths and misunderstandings persist about what exactly constitutes web accessibility, how necessary it is for individual businesses, the benefits and how easy it is to carry out.

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.
