No matter how good your product is, if you can’t tell a cohesive, compelling story about it, you’re going to have a very hard time getting people’s attention when you actually do take it to market. Companies like Amazon understand this well and are rightly famous for their “work backwards” philosophy. You start by writing the press release, to articulate how the world will see your product, and then work backwards until you get to the minimum set of technology requirements to achieve your goals

Building an MVP and launching a product is actually the easy part. It’s much more difficult to manage a product in its maturity or decline stages, so I wanted to tackle the challenges of a product that’s past its initial growth stage, and share some tips on: – How to avoid becoming a feature factory, while taming your beast of a backlog. – How to use your roadmap to drive experimentation to hit company objectives. – How to disrupt yourself before someone else does.

As both a keen sailor and product manager, I have come to realise that there are some interesting lessons to be learnt from sailing that could also be usefully applied to product management. Both disciplines are a blend of art and science, both have built-in constraints, and both require continuous learning because their environments are very dynamic.

Excerpts from our conversation with The Best Product Person of 2017, Melissa Perri. In the Now. > What do you like least about being a product manager? Bureaucracy is my least favorite part of Product Management. Even if you are an excellent Product Manager, you’re only as good as the environment you are in. So many companies have policies and practices that prohibit people from learning and experimenting.

Product management goes well beyond those certified in agile or another method. Whether you became a product manager or someone asked you to wear one more hat, leading can be stressful. One key to successful product management is to keep learning. A true teacher would never tell you what to do. But only give you the knowledge and let you decide what to do with it.

Ever since I first heard the term running lean I was confused by its appeal. Maybe it is because in the early stages of my career, I was a student of Waterfall and the idea of purposely avoiding the documentation stage just seemed irresponsible and actually, impossible to accept. But the industry was moving in that direction and I figured I needed to learn it for the sake of my career.

I have traditionally been a believer that any form of marketing other than what is classified as, “Inbound” is typically a waste of money and time. As I think about it however, I actually think that this idea of, “Inbound marketing” is actually a bit ridiculous. George Carlin, a hero of mine, was a master of the English language.

I have written about awareness before but recently, its ugly head seems to be popping up again like crazy. This is a long post as it focuses on a topic in which I am greatly impassioned.
