Photo by Raul Petri on Unsplash When defining the job of a product manager, at least one of two definitions always pops up. The first one (chronologically speaking) is from Marty Cagan’s indispensable book Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love ; Marty describes it as “to discover a product that is valuable , usable and feasible ”. The other one is Martin Eriksson’s Venn diagram, supporting his definition of “product management as the intersection between business , technology and

The designer has presented their masterpiece; they anticipate feedback; you were awaiting it; the deadline nears. You look at it with high hopes, and… see something very unexpected. Unfortunately, you don’t like it and can not accept it that way. It doesn’t align to the product vision, nor to the business goals. You just can’t use this design for your product. .

As Mark Kilby and I work through the images and text for the geographically distributed teams book, I wanted to clarify what collocated and distributed mean. Collocated teams sit near each other in space. However, not everyone agrees on what is “near.” Allen Curve. In Developing Products in Half the Time , Smith and Reinertsen use the Allen Curve to discuss the distance at which you can consider a team to be distributed as opposed to collocated.

A product owner or manager considering cooperation with a UX team needs to know some things about us UX folks. By now you probably know a bit about the field, but we’d like to show you how we work from our perspective, too. You can read a lot anywhere about methods and UX design tools … But many things come to light only when we start working together on a day-to-day basis, the tiny details which only experiencing everyday interactions can bring, the “UXperience”, so to say.

Each week I scour articles, wading through the dogs, and bringing you the best insights to help product managers and innovators be heroes. The difference between innovation and execution metrics for product managers. Applying traditional organization performance metrics to innovation projects is the preverbal square peg in the round hole problem. Metrics are to encourage more of what we want, and that means innovation metrics must be specific to innovation objectives.

Product managers operate in an environment of uncertainty and change, requiring the use of Strategic Agility. How organizations can improve their product performance and overall performance is as important to product managers as it is to senior leaders.

Frustrated Business Person (or PM). Or some version of the converse… Product managers… they’re always giving us more sh** to do.
