I believe it because we will talk about one of the most prevalent issues when creating products: overengineering them.

At times, product professionals fail to realize the similarities and differences between thought leadership vs people leadership. A compelling thought leader most likely started as a people leader, such as a manager or a director. In itself, leading is a sought-after position that requires specialized knowledge and experience.

One of the primary benefits of working in a product trio is we reduce the hand-offs between functional roles. In the old way of working, a business stakeholder communicated a need to a product manager, the product manager wrote requirements , handed them off to a designer, who then created designs, and then the requirements and the designs were handed off to engineers to implement.

The Product Bistro
NOVEMBER 13, 2021
The Product Bistro is undergoing a massive evolution. It started during a 6 month hiatus in employment, where I took some time to reflect on my career, and to make a run at freelance or piecemeal work. Originally I built it on one of the lower tier paid Wordpress commercial sites, just to free myself of the back end hassles associated with the setup and maintenance of a clean professional site (and, if I was able to crack into the consulting game, I could write it off as a business expense).

So you’ve decided that mobile is important for your product but now you’re faced with the choice between whether to build a native app, build a mobile web app or make your existing web app more responsive. Sometimes it’s a straightforward decision, sometimes you have the luxury of just doing both in parallel, and other times it’s important to carefully evaluate the different factors that push you one way or the other.

In 2009, when Mixpanel was founded, the world was in a period of uncertainty and still facing the Great Recession.

It’s no big surprise that from difficulty springs innovation, and while it took many years for those companies to become the giants they are today, the seeds of their inspiration sprouted at a time when there was a lot of unknown.
