Are you a Product leader struggling to explain the big picture? A KPI Tree shows how your metrics connect, helps guide decision making, and can be used to frame different areas of work. I teamed up with @loomista to write this article on how they work: shaunrussell.me/writing/kpi-tr…

Thinking Beyond and Listening for More is the title of the interactive session @_ShaunRussell & Emilie Lindström will be teaching during our Leadership Forum. Join us, product leaders: productatheart.com/leadership

Planning to join us for #mtpEngage Hamburg in 2023? If so, mark your calendars for June 30th next year - we’ll be back in #Hamburg for our 600+ product people conference once again 🎉. But we (@Loomista and I) have some BIG news…. (1/5)

@lissijean +1 with added emphasis that thinking time is great for processing the many conflicts which a Product Manager's work is full of

A friendly reminder to the Product Managers out there - block your calendars for thinking time. We forget that #prodmgmt is a creative job at the end of the day. It's not about completing rote tasks, but about deep thinking. And for that you need time away from meetings.

@bfgmartin The definition of a well-deserved rest right there!

@TracerBulletX @onejasonknight Yep! I almost quit at the time. The experience taught me about patience and suspending judgment until you've gathered better data... it's very easy to mistake an opportunity for a red flag, before you've really experienced the organisation

@onejasonknight Day 1, meeting 1, my new boss (the Head of Product) told me that they handed in their notice 2 months earlier and my first day was their last day on the job. Totally blindsided. But with hindsight, that terrible landing was the making of me. It created a space for me to step into

@Samfr So right in the Liz Truss sweet spot then

Yes quite. It's terrible policy and terrible politics.

Berlin people: after a long hibernation, ProductTank Berlin is back and IN-PERSON! Join us on Oct 12th, for great talks from @MarcLamik (@Moonfare) and Ira Wissel (@flinkgerman). We can't wait to welcome you back! meetup.com/producttank-be…

@MattChorley How many is loads?

LOADS of Tory MPs I've spoken to aren't going to Conservative conference next week. So when have you not showed up, or been left at the party all by yourself?

@minor9th Pretty much.

@rguillebert Not really, the chart's a bit misleading. There is a great deal more road travel to begin with (see: #Footnote1e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">destatis.de/Europa/EN/Topi…) so a small relative drop in road travel leads to a much larger increase in rail. Showing absolute numbers would look very different

Looks like it didn't deter people from using cars, just created more trips.

@ArneKittler Thank you Arne!

👏Wow, what a great article from ⁦@_ShaunRussell⁩ : Overcoming Self-doubt: Strategies to Reframe Attention & Unlock the Mind of a Product Manager shaunrussell.me/writing/overco…

"It was hours before my first ever public presentation about product management, at @producttank London. I was a bag of nerves. I thought my talk was going to be awful... But Matt did not offer me feedback. Instead, he asked one simple question." shaunrussell.me/writing/overco…

@ElSatanico you make a surprise guest appearance in my new article 😉 No idea if you remember asking me this question, but it really stuck with me. Thanks! shaunrussell.me/writing/overco…

@loomista Always love it when a friend digs a music recommendation. My pleasure :)

@PaulEmbery The logic of your argument makes zero sense. One side is for self- identification, the other is against it. Therefore, you can't use amount of public self-ID to compare investment in the debate between the groups - they show their investment with different behaviours

Yes, that’s why nearly every white male conservative lists their pronouns in their bio, but no leftist or trans person ever does.

@onejasonknight Rule of thumb: if it’s possible to add “even if I thought this was the right thing do, we can't do it” to an explanation, then it’s a weak explanation.
