Your shiny new product is almost ready and the Chiefs want to know: How many people will buy it? Who will buy it? What’s the revenue forecast? Feel like you’re throwing a Dart against a Roulette Wheel? Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. – Mark Twain, American author and humorist. “Sizing a market opportunity has always been problematic.

As another year draws to a close, it seems appropriate to look back at some of the highlights of 2017, assess the progress we’ve made as a community, and examine how we’ve pushed the craft of product management forward. We’ve certainly made great progress here at Mind the Product: our audience has grown with 50% growth in traffic, 45% growth in newsletter subscribers, and 38% growth in the number of ProductTanks around the world (we’re now in 138 cities!).

I want to cross-pollinate a tweetstorm on lessons I’ve learned from a decade of professional writing.

Tracking Leads is a Waste of Time. One of the most common ways to measure the performance of a product marketing manager is by the number of leads she generates. The approach comes from the old sales phrase “It’s a numbers game!” “Get me more leads and I’ll close more deals!” Not likely. What’s needed is a way to check on the health of the product, to monitor its vitals.

There’s a well-known theory in psychology known as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, named after its creator Abraham Maslow.

As a product management professional, starting a new role can be a make-or-break matter. You can almost feel the pressure the moment the offer is signed. Start off well and set the tone for a growth-oriented employment experience. Underwhelm everyone and be relegated to mediocrity in the eyes of your colleagues for the duration of the job. Not only are you given an exceptionally short learning curve in your new product role, you are also expected to contribute something new, exciting and innovat

Collaboration can come in many flavors. We may call it Slack, Hipchat, Google Drive, Office 365 or Quip at work, but it is so much more than the technology we use to communicate. It defines the nature of communication across all departments and ultimately influences how (and I would bet how effectively) you and your team build product. Take the following scenario?

For better or worse, the turning of a calendar year conveniently provides us with an opportunity for introspection. This time of year, we examine what we have accomplished, how we feel about it, what we want to do, what we dream of doing, and what our goals are for the coming year. Sadly for us all, this kind of attention is often only lavished on taking yoga classes or learning the ukulele, albeit worthy goals, but it is never applied to our careers.

Much has been written about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Borrowing from the 2007 John McCarthy paper What is Artificial Intelligence? , AI is defined as: “… the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.”.

Sometimes, I have to be reminded of the obvious. Duh! Earlier, I was coaching a company on pricing. As I was listening to descriptions of their customers, their channels and the problems they solve, my mind was swirling with ideas. Let me tell you, these ideas were brilliant. They were amazing … almost. After probably 30 minutes of conversation, I asked, “What’s the goal?

Dashboard screens are nice to look at but hard to make correctly Image Credit: Andrea. If you’ve had a chance to jump into a new car lately, undoubtedly your attention has been drawn to the dashboard screen that just about every car has nowadays. Car manufactures are changing their product development definition and moving more and more of the car’s control and monitoring systems over to these centralized dashboards in order to attempt to simplify the process of driving their cars.

I want to discuss the urgent need to advance AI for all American business, not just Silicon Valley insiders. But first I have a confession to make. Like millions of others, I’m a fan of the HGTV show “Fixer Upper.” Don’t judge! It’s a nice way to unwind after work. Now entering its fifth and final season, fans of the show know that most episodes follow a simple format: Agreeable hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines take potential homebuyers to three ugly houses around Waco, Texas, and explain how the wr
