Product management often feels paradoxical. Consider how you’d answer the following questions: We could keep going, but the answer to all of these questions would still be the same: both!

When speaking with founders and CEOs, we often hear concerns like this: My project manager is losing confidence in the development team. The PMs are seeing late deliveries and bugs that suggest the devs just aren’t capable enough.

Listen to the audio version of this article: [link] Organise the Team around a Product As the name suggests, a product team is focused on a product. This sounds simple enough.

The opportunity solution tree helps visualize all the work that goes into continuous discovery.

Recently, a Reddit thread started an extensive conversation in a product management group I’m part of. It highlighted an alarming new trend in our field — the imbalance between discovery and execution. Reddit thread In my opinion — in the zeal to innovate and strategize, the pendulum has swung too far toward the discovery end of the spectrum. While exploring new ideas and hypotheses is undoubtedly vital, it has overshadowed the equally significant aspect of execution.

Very few products stay the same year to year, let alone decade to decade. The components, materials, and designs change and evolve. Sometimes, this is due to consumer demand or innovation; other times, it results from resource shortages or supply changes. When a product team knows in advance that a certain component will no longer be available, this is called phasing out.
