“Big data.” It’s one of Silicon Valley’s favorite and most annoying buzzwords, yet there’s no data shortage in sight as data companies continue sprouting (and growing) like weeds. It’s clear that data is here to stay, but many product managers are still yet to embrace data-driven product management…and they’re making a big mistake. Here’s why every product manager should start paying more attention to data ASAP: It’s Not as Complicated as it Looks.

Tip #1: Know what it’s all about. The Daily Scrum meeting, sometimes also referred to as stand-up meeting, wants to help the development team manage its work. In Scrum, the team collectively agrees to a sprint goal and is responsible for meeting it. This includes tracking progress of the work on a daily basis and discussing any changes that may be required.

In April, we posted this list of conferences. Since then, I’ve been asked dozens of times what my favorite product conference is. There are a lot of great product events, but for my money, none are better than Mind the Product. It’s the only product conference where I feel confident that the content will push my thinking and that there will be a number of great parties.

Assimilating new hires can take a big bite out of your schedule, but it’s a process I’ve always enjoyed, despite this. Having a captive audience eager to learn about the product is red meat to me. The only part of it that ever made me cringe was when a question about the product roadmap caught me flat-footed: “Why is this on the roadmap?”. “Oh, it’s for a big deal of Laura’s which she expects to close this quarter…”.

2015. This pic is from two years ago, taken at Uber’s HQ on 11th and Market. After weeks of discussion with the product team, we’d hit the final stretch, and TK and I holed up for a few hours in a conference room to finalize my role at Uber. There were a couple things that got me over the line: TK’s insanely big vision for Uber, the already huge impact the team was making, and the entrepreneurial culture he’d created.

If you’re going to dominate your market, you have to make the customer organization measurably better at their business, from the top down. Products and services are the means to the end, but every customer-facing function in your organization plays a role in delivering customer value. It’s like relay race. Everyone understands their role, knows where the baton is at all times, and knows exactly what to do when they run their leg of the race.

Since I started up TSIA’s Managed Services discipline at the tail end of 2012, I’ve received a lot of questions both from members and non-members about the definition of managed services. I figured that it was worth addressing these questions in a blog post, specifically, what is managed services, how TSIA defines both the concept and considers examples of managed services , what we’re seeing in the industry, and explain the different types of managed services offers.

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.

I've been spending a lot of time lately thinking through how to optimize my personal productivity to drive the greatest effectiveness. In doing so I've reflected upon how there have been specific times in my life where I'm completely in the state of flow, accomplishing far more than I've ever accomplished, and absolutely loving every minute of it. And at the same time there have been days where it just feels like I'm doing sloppy work and can't seem to get my ideas to click.

If you’re a software company, committing to one-off features just to win a single deal has been a long-standing business practice. Making a habit of it, and worse yet, getting good at it, is the equivalent of throwing your company into a death spiral then perfecting your spin. Here’s why. Every time you commit development resources to a one-off project, you’re simultaneously mortgaging another piece of your future and further handicapping your ability to compete in your most l
