Developing and launching a product only to have it fail is the complete antithesis of the “Fail Fast” innovation motto. You have just invested 1000s of work hours and millions of dollars in developing & launching this product. If PM 101 is problem before solution, this is definitely 102 – “ who will pay and why ?”

Half of the calls I get from CEOs include requests for Product Management to boost productivity in Engineering (aka Development aka Makers). This reflects confusion about what product managers do (and how we really add value), and often poor role definition where product managers are also project/program managers or engineering leads.

Cultural fit is a relatively new concept in hiring and team building. This has given hiring managers the confidence to reject prospects who look perfect on paper, but might not mesh with the existing team and company norms. Culture sets the tone, permeating every aspect of the team and the quality of their work.
