We’ve talked about cross functional collaboration a lot on this blog, but only ever in passing. It’s such an integral part of a Product Manager’s job description, that it’s just kind of a given that everyone knows what it means and how to do it well. But it’s not just newbies who can benefit from re-examining our understanding of cross functional collaboration.

Inconsistent product functionality, wildly differing UI components, and conflicting terminology – the slow creep of design debt can have far-reaching consequences for your business if left unchecked. Here’s a simple framework for managing it. A few years ago, we wanted to improve the A/B testing functionality in some of our targeted messages. It was a trivial feature that we thought would be a cinch to build.

Most companies spend huge budgets creating content to get people to sign up to their product. But once a customer signs up, it’s left to a handful of badly written FAQs to help people get the most from the product. It’s no wonder up to 60% of users who sign up for a free trial use a product once and never come back. At Intercom, we believe that providing educational and motivational help content leads to loyal and engaged customers.

The last year revolutionized how retailers think about online shopping and how it merges with the in-person, in-store experience. At this point, thousands of retailers have implemented some sort of buy online, pick up in-store (BOPIS) strategy, and consumers have come to expect it from big and small brands alike. The way in which people shop has fundamentally changed, with U.S. eCommerce sales reportedly increasing by more than 30 percent in 2020.

Recently I’ve sat through multiple investment committee decisions on new products and new ventures where there was excitement from executives to proceed, but the teams were given some conditions to meet before they could get a yes. The “yes, but…” where you need to change your plan or pitch, has a hidden cost that isn’t discussed and sometimes isn’t worth it.

Half of the calls I get from CEOs include requests for Product Management to boost productivity in Engineering (aka Development aka Makers). To ship more stuff, faster. To hit more roadmap dates. To reduce some fictitious cost-per-feature financial goal. To get more for less. This reflects confusion about what product managers do (and how we really add value), and often poor role definition where product managers are also project/program managers or engineering leads.

When I think about agile approaches to work, I think about how fast we can change and the cost of those changes. We can change the next decisions about the work because we finish the current work and release it. Multiple deliverables allow us to change what we do and what we plan next. That's why an agile approach with deliverables every day or week doesn't fit with some kinds of projects, such as events.

We are often asked by senior leaders and innovation managers “how do I know if the innovation programs we have are successful?”. In other words: how do we know if these programs will produce long-term growth for our company? While one might be tempted to answer such a question by simply looking at the number of new business ideas that their innovation programs generate, we believe that this question can only be answered by looking at the totality of a company’s innovation ecosystem.
