One of the core responsibilities of Marketing in an organization is to effectively define and track the marketing segments. This is far more than just an academic exercise, but is essential to many other key tasks within a company. Segmentation is crucial to effective pricing strategies. You can often target addressable segments with different prices, giving opportunities to both increase volume (units shipped) and profit.

Minimum Viable Product #1. Writing a book is a complex and at times challenging endeavour: it took me over two years to write and publish my latest book. As I had to commit a substantial amount of my time to the project (and my company’s money), I tried to reduce the risk of writing a book that nobody really wants and needs. At the same time, I wanted to test that the product would create enough value for its readers before writing the actual book.

One topic that seems to trip up both new and experienced product managers is the process of pricing. As a recent post highlights, the most important lever we have in our bag of tricks to influence the profitability of our products and business, is the price. Yet, establishing a good price, and holding variance to a minimum is a top concern of the product management function.

There is a very common fallacy about developers in our industry, and I think it hurts countless companies. Have you ever heard the old accusation that developers only want to solve problems for themselves? They’ll spend countless hours, often on their own time, to create amazing tools for themselves and the developers they work with. But just try to get them excited about building something for “the business” or “the customer" and good luck.
