“Diversity and Inclusion” are some of the hottest topics in the Tech industry. Unfortunately, there is not much discussion surrounding the even more severe lack of diversity in the product management function, particularly in the representation of Black Product Managers. The lack of Black Product Managers is not just a pipeline issue. It is due to the discriminatory gatekeeping in the interview process and the lack of career advancement for Black PMs who do get through the door.
Traditional PM struggles with the complexities of platform ecosystems. B-MAP framework tackles this challenge. B-MAP goes beyond features, focusing on building, managing, adapting, and partnering to foster a thriving platform ecosystem.

A recent report by Pendo.io finds interesting differences between how B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) product managers approach product management, especially as it relates to customer research. Understanding, championing and prioritizing customer needs and wants is critical to a product manager’s role. Traditionally, B2C companies have been perceived as more adept at putting their customers first, and as a result, are often seen as more customer-centric.

I first met Petra Wille, a fellow product coach, at Mind the Product and was immediately impressed with her work. While I tend to focus on helping teams, Petra’s work centers around helping product leaders—the people who manage product managers. The people in these roles don’t always come from a product background, so they may need guidance to understand the essentials of product management and what best practices look like in the real world.

Healthcare is personal and often very emotional. We all know and understand this. However, when it comes to our technology reflecting this fact, many providers and organizations haven’t quite caught up. Telehealth and healthcare mobile apps can feel cold, robotic, and impersonal. This experience doesn’t reflect the care and thoughtfulness of individual providers and healthcare professionals.

What kind of information drives that decision: is it subjective and qualitative, or objective and quantifiable? It’s the classic conflict: left brain versus right brain; art versus science. Mark Roberge knows which he prefers. As an engineer by training, in pressure situations he tends to “lean to the quant.” It’s an approach that’s served him well along the road to building the HubSpot sales team, where he was CRO for nine years.

Anyone familiar with Product Management will recognize the immortal phrase ‘influence without authority.’ As a Product Manager, you’re a team player who guides product development along its chartered course, but you have to do that without being the literal captain of the ship. You somehow have to bring together a rowdy bunch of tech professionals (data scientists, UX and UI designers , software engineers, etc) and make a valuable and functional product happen.

After years of struggle, I’m advising all of my clients and product leader coachees to stop using the term “MVP”. Not to stop doing validation, discovery, prototyping or experiments they may associate that that acronym, but to remove the label from all of their docs and presentations and talks. To delete the letters MVP from roadmaps and product charters.
