I talk to a lot of PMs and I ask them (and everyone who subscribes to my newsletter) the same question: what’s your biggest struggle as a Product Manager? Having put together a fairly popular resource on product prioritization methods, I would’ve hoped the situation to be different. But it’s not.

One of the primary benefits of working in a product trio is we reduce the hand-offs between functional roles. It’s no wonder we end up with software that doesn’t work for our customers.

Leading a product team (or several teams) comes with its own set of challenges that’s often similar to but distinct from the hurdles individual product contributors face. That’s why it’s especially enlightening when you encounter a product leader who is willing to openly share the challenges they’ve faced. Teresa: Okay.

When an organization shifts from delivery or feature teams to product teams , the first step is often a change to team structure. If an organization wants to shift to product teams (empowered to drive outcomes) they need to structure them so each team includes the necessary skills and abilities required to build and deliver customer value.
