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! That’s the inherent complexity of product management. It’s the reason so many companies struggle to understand the role, and even the companies who “totally get it” end up struggling anyway.

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.

You can categorise presenters or storytellers into two groups — one has a large impact on the audience, and one often doesn’t. Once I realised this, I saw it everywhere. Some presenters relay information. They see their goal to talk through something, to get content of their heads into the room for the audience to do with it what they please.
