“What do you do?” Plenty of product managers have been on the receiving end of this question, and we don’t doubt that answering it is harder than it seems at first glance. After all, PMs do a lot. Their responsibilities span from prioritizing the roadmap to working with engineering and design to discussing feature requests.

For the past decade, in nearly every conference, the #1 problem cited by analysts and their managers has been the same: their team built the best possible model (read: analysis, dashboard, report, predictive model) but people are not using it.

You’ll find yourself working closely with UX and UI designers throughout your career as a Product Manager. While you won’t be expected to know everything about product design (otherwise you’d be a designer, right?) there are at least a couple of key things you should have a solid grasp on. The last thing you want to do when talking to a designer, is to use UX and UI interchangeably.

Empathy is a powerful word and even a more powerful feeling. It is also a word that is becoming more and more popular in the vocabulary of product and user experience designers. But, why? Before we get into why empathy is such an important concept when designing a product, it's vital to make it clear that this is only true when your focus is on what users need, instead of pushing products to the market.

Is creating a product strategy worth the effort? How does it fit into the big picture? Creating a product strategy isn’t easy for product managers. It’s difficult to flip the switch when most of your time is spent in the weeds taking care of the day-to-day product needs, launches, sales support, etc. Furthermore, executives rarely think that enhancements to a product are strategic, meaning they won’t drive significant revenue.

Much of modern problems in software development have actually been solved and we keep forgetting this to our peril. Every day something pops up in a conversation, on one of our teams or on socials that can be addressed by a book from years and sometimes decades ago. I think of these as classic books on the fundamentals of software development. These books have provided the foundations and first principles to approach software development, and later, product development.

Cyber-attacks are launched from one computer from another computer where the aim of cyber-attacks is either to disable the target computer to gain access to the target computer’s data and gain admin privileges to manipulate this data. One such attack was carried out on the database of online banking company Capital One. The credit card applications of hundreds of thousands of people were exposed and this included personal information like birth dates and Social Security numbers.
