“I’m drowning in a never-ending todo list“, “I can’t be everywhere at once“, “I’m not good enough“ In my coaching work I constantly hear these frustrations from product leaders. It’s no surprise – product leadership is a tough gig, but strong product leadership is vital if companies are to be product-led and achieve growth.

Product Goals Defined. The Scrum Guide released in November 2020 states that “the product goal describes a future state of the product … [It] is the long-term objective for the Scrum team.” It also suggests that “the product goal is in the product backlog. The rest of the product backlog emerges to define ‘what’ will fulfill the product goal.” The product owner is accountable for “developing and explicitly communicating the product goal.

When you’re working in a fast-paced industry, it’s all too easy to reach burnout no matter what role you’re in. And when you work on multiple concurrent projects and across lots of teams, the risk of burnout isn’t just high, it can feel inevitable.

We’ve all seen it: Disgruntled customers taking to the app stores to gripe about something that has literally nothing to do with the mobile app experience. Why is this? Unfortunately, app store reviews are often the only easily-accessible place (aside from social media) for customers to air their grievances. What should be used as a showcase of glowing customer feedback that attracts new customers turns into a catch-all for any and all customer opinions that subsequently works against that goal.

Almost 5 years ago, I found myself starting a job that focused around training, and skills validation, and my area of focus was in the future of work, as well as the seismic change that “Digital Transformation” was having on the workplace ecosystem. A major part of my early research on this was reading a lot of papers, white papers, articles, and just general digging into the topics related.

As I've been speaking about the Modern Management Made Easy books, people ask these questions: We're pretty good with our agile approach. It's time for performance reviews. How do we reward someone based on individual work when we want teams to work together? What do we do? Can we extend whatever that is to our hiring effort? What does performance management look like when we want to reward people for their collaboration?

On the surface, B2B customer support issues might look quite different from those of B2C. Typically, B2B issues can be more complex, require the collaboration of a lot more departments within the company, and are often in direct dialogue with the consumer, rather than a buying team or committee. But despite these differences, Farhan Virji , VP of Customer Happiness at Later , believes that there is actually quite a lot that B2B support teams can learn from their B2C colleagues.

Eighty percent of today’s tech companies have adopted agile practices — so there must be something to it, right? But not everyone practices Agile the same way. In fact, what counts as “agile development” can vary widely from company to company — and two very different forms can both produce spectacular results.

Let me be frank: if you’re a SaaS company and you’re not using customer retention management software , you’re missing out. Not only is it significantly easier and cheaper to retain a customer than it is to acquire a new one, retention is also where all the money is in the SaaS world. A study by Totango found that 70-95% of revenues come from upsells and renewals, as opposed to only 5-30% from the original sale.
