The Secret PM Handbook
OCTOBER 21, 2017
Nothing Important Happens In The Office. We product managers are always told that we need to spend a lot of time with customers, and with the market, to create successful products. This advice, while good, is not actionable. It’s vague and aspirational. And, indeed, you might even ask “ why is this good advice?”. It’s challenging to find the signal – market problems – in the noise – our conversations with customers and prospects.

The word “ build ” originally comes from using atoms to construct things. In 1884, Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier were innovators who were looking to build the world’s largest structure out of rarely used materials – steel & iron – for their employer Mr Eiffel. The grander your idea, the greater the risk that whoever you are pitching to needs to take on.
