The 7 Ts of Product-Led Transformation

ProductPlan

Transformation is a word that isn’t commonly favored by the Product community because Transformation Programs rarely allow Product Teams to autonomously decide how they’ll achieve their mission. However, Transformation Programs incur significant costs. According to the CIO magazine, Global spending on digital transformation technologies and services was $1.3 trillion in 2020 of which 70% of that spend is wasted.

Thankful for Product Management

The Product Bistro

I am taking a week off of work to help with some issues with my aging father, and have a fairly slack day. Since it ’tis the season to send thanks, I thought I would indulge in a - for me - rare reflection of things I am thankful for professionally.

Cultivating a Product Mindset: How “No” became “YES, if…” became “Yes, IF…”

The Product Coalition

One of the hardest lessons a product owner has to learn is when to say no. Many people who seek a product role do so because the idea of what is possible entrances them. The type of person who looks at what exists and finds fulfillment in realizing their vision of what it could be. That kind of mindset clashes with the need to keep a well-groomed backlog that admits only a fraction of the requests customers send your way.

For Dan Gingiss , at least, investing in your defense – the customer experience – is the smartest move you can make. Dan Gingiss is many a thing. A licensed bartender (who, we’ve been told, makes a mean gin martini), a vintage pinball machine maniac, and a die-hard Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears fan.

Leadership Tip 16: Decide When to Choose Power-With or Power-Over

Johanna Rothman

All decisions are a form of power. We exercise our personal power (power within) in many ways: when we decide where to live, what to wear, and what to eat. Not only that, we also choose our jobs, who we vote for, and where to go on vacation. We have a ton of personal power. Healthy teams often need to decide together. They use power-with, where people decide what to do as collaborators.

5 Technical Concepts for the Non-Technical Product Manager

Although there’s plenty of debate on this topic, product managers don’t need to be technical. A deep understanding of the programming languages, APIs, databases, software, and information architecture used to build and run a product isn’t essential to the job in most cases. Regardless of how helpful that knowledge may be. The non-technical product manager should understand a handful of technical concepts.
