Mind the Product

JUNE 14, 2019

A bad day in the office, a chance LinkedIn message, and before you know it, someone has moved jobs. Developing a long-term relationship with someone who can act as your mentor and provide advice and direction can help to get around this. Just as with a product, you should start with a vision. Find a Mentor. The Roadmap.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2017

I opened this year’s Mind the Product London conference by suggesting that product management isn’t actually about managing products, but about managing people.

Exactly a year ago I was invited to give a keynote at the Craft Conference in Budapest and I discussed the 10 biggest reasons why product teams fail. So it inspired me to think hard about the most important characteristics of very strong product teams, and I forced myself to pick what I consider the ten most important.

A lack of trust from developers and engineers creates endless second-guessing, challenges and sometimes even a refusal to follow through on requests, which becomes a huge timesuck and morale destroyer. If the executive team doesn’t have faith in product management, ideas are likely to be ignored, plans overruled and cachet denied.
