Option 1: In the Sprint Review Meeting. Your first option is to work on the product backlog in the sprint review meeting.

When I first started learning about product design, one of the most influential books I read was The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman. In this classic work, Don Norman sheds light on the design of every day objects like doors, stoves, thermostats, and more. He then applies these universal design principles to designing technology products. Don Norman is one of the leading thinkers on human-centered design and the principles he writes about are required reading for every product designer.

As I research the Innovation Process in preparation for a potential educational program around Innovation Management, there are several thoughts that are swirling in my head. Being a long time technical marketer, I am familiar with many of the “Chasmista’s” methodologies (loosely, the body of thought inspired by Geoffrey Moore and his seminal work “Crossing the Chasm”), the concept of disruption, innovation, “tornado” markets are all well captured.

Hardware on the other hand has a hard cost to building the next one. There are parts and manufacturing and logistics and ….

For 80% of B2B products and services, the answer is generally NO! Kudos to the 20% that can. What’s the Definition of a Really Big Problem?

When should a start-up hire its first product manager? What responsibilities should this role include? These are common discussions, with many views, and no right answers – it depends on the founding team, current funding situation, industry focus, and product offering. But it’s likely there will always be a fair bit of product management work at any start-up, and some of it will exceed what the current team is capable of doing.
