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.

SCRUM, Kanban, and SAFe frameworks lead the way in making teams and companies add value quicker while reducing traditional risks. It may be in implementation as part of your software development teams, it could be getting adopted into a whole department or business unit in your company, or maybe it is already part of your normal workstyle in your organization.

It’s impossible to imagine our lives without budget planning. We have to buy a lot of things, from food to entertainment, and if our expenses aren’t well managed, it’s easy to lose control over them and start spending too much. The same goes for software development. If you want to create a new app, managing your financial investment is one of the most important parts of the whole process.

Today is no ordinary Wednesday. It’s May 13th. It was on this day in 1931 that the field of product management was born – its birth marked by an internal memorandum written by Neil H. McElroy, manager of Proctor and Gamble’s Promotion department. In his memo, Mr. McElroy proposed how P&G brands could be managed more effectively by creating a new management role for people who would be accountable for particular products, rather than business functions.

One of the tropes we’ve heard again and again is that product people don’t actually build anything. We’re not designers (except when we are) or engineers (unless we can code) or anything actually, y’know, useful. What that viewpoint misses is that we build understanding, alignment, and purpose – and that our best tool is conversations.
