A topic that’s come up several times recently in my product leader coaching sessions: how much to delegate to the (individual contributor) product managers on our teams – including different ways of building product skills and balancing personal empowerment against good results. Said another way, if you’re running a team of 4 or 11 or 23 product managers, you have a lot to do that’s different from their direct work so you’ll need to delegate decision-making as well as execution.

As companies start implementing more innovative practices, they are realizing the faults of using an imperfect environment like staging. Staging environments are expensive, they do not match the behavior of production, leading to faulty test results, and they don’t provide any confidence that your features are working before launch. The only way to know that your features are working in production is to test them in production.

The initial stages of product paralysis begin the moment your company has its second product. Two products, two markets, two sets of users, two sets of priorities, etc. Enter product management into the equation. Assuming your company deems the function of product management as something more than “the enhancement list department,” product management should be leading the charge to not only prevent product priority paralysis but condition the company to avoid it.

Here’s what I mean. Customers say things like, “ One of our biggest problems is that we don’t get enough repeat business from existing customers.” It’s easy to take statements like that at face value (the problem) and quickly turn our attention to the product solution.
