What The Data Shows About Product Leaders and Product Laggards w/ @ctgilley + @NilsDavis alltheresponsibility.com/161-clifton-gi… #prodmgmt

Hey there, #productmanagement folks! Gartner is looking for some feedback from you on what trends you're seeing in the profession to help us focus our research on the most important and impactful topics. surveys.gartner.com/s.aspx?s=b1eb0… #prodmgmt #2024trends

@PatThePM If you don't manage your time, everyone else will. It's one of the hard lessons to learn as a PM. All meetings are not equal. If you're not bringing or taking value, do something more impactful. Stakeholders love meetings, we need to love impact.

@ctgilley Must be efficient with our time. It's how we make the best impact.

Stakeholder: "Hey do you have 5 mins?" Junior PM: "Sure! Let's hop on a call and I'll take notes!" Experienced PM: "It depends, what do you need? Let's keep it async first. We can do a call later if necessary."

1000% this - #prodmgmt

@JustAnotherPM Networking with peers, seeking out mentors with more/different experience, building local PM practice communities...

Can product managers get better at product management? If yes, what are the best ways? Looking for answers other than "learn by doing"

@carlvellotti Assuming they know the customer without stepping a single foot outside their office/business context.

What’s the biggest mistake you’ve seen product managers make?

@onejasonknight Have seen this so many times.

@saeedwkhan @sjohnson717 @johncutlefish @RichMironov @ttorres @lissijean @triciacervenan The same metrics that any product team would use -- focused on value and outcomes that the platform is driving, not just features and outputs of the team. A platform *is* a product, even if it's just an internal platform. Should be managed like one.

@ctgilley @sjohnson717 @johncutlefish @RichMironov @ttorres @lissijean @triciacervenan For those teams that do platforms well, what kind of metrics do you see them tracking? i.e. how are they measuring their success?

Happy Friday, #prodmgmt peeps! What are the top trends and topics you're keeping an eye on in 2023? @RichMironov @ttorres @johncutlefish @lissijean @sjohnson717 @triciacervenan @saeedwkhan

@saeedwkhan @sjohnson717 @johncutlefish @RichMironov @ttorres @lissijean @triciacervenan Typically, a tech team that views the platform as nothing more than enabling technology, so just backlogs of tech work, prioritized by tech folks, without a focus on the value the platform should be delivering.

@ctgilley @sjohnson717 @johncutlefish @RichMironov @ttorres @lissijean @triciacervenan What do you see instead?

@saeedwkhan @sjohnson717 @johncutlefish @RichMironov @ttorres @lissijean @triciacervenan In practice too few platforms have a PM.

@ctgilley @sjohnson717 @johncutlefish @RichMironov @ttorres @lissijean @triciacervenan In practice, not so much, meaning, in practice, a platform doesn't need a PM, or in practice, many platforms don't have PMs?

@ArloSmartHome Finally found an actual phone number for their support -- the solution? "Place a full-price order and we'll credit you back 50% within 24 hours." Lots of trust being asked for there...and bold after "eating" my original discount code.

@ArloSmartHome : Your storefront "ate" my EOL discount code (stuck at "processing order") and now I can't use it. Interesting tactic to force people to pay full price. #customerdisservice #CustomerService

@Mont_Jiang @NamelessWander4 Did we watch the same film? Because in the Iron Man I watched, after seeing first-hand the horror of his military inventions, the hero shuts down that part of the business and the villain wants to take him out of the picture because of it...

@NamelessWander4 Iron Man did numbers and was a pretty good movie. Better than Top Gun 2 imo. TG2 was pro-MIC but in a rather silly, abstract way. Iron Man is straight up rallying the people to support the GWoT.

The pro-military messaging of Iron Man was really undisguised. Here, a hot reporter from Vanity Fair questions the morality of Stark's business. He says he'd like to bang her. He does, and then his employee/GF throws her out the next morning. Message: reporters are whores.

@onejasonknight @CordtMinzer When I was actively blogging, my newsletter was more an excuse to poke people that I was still around and had new content for them to read. That plus my book suggestions ramped up my subs pretty solidly. It was a project of love, so this negging approach would fall flat.

@PatThePM Clarity of vision and strategy almost renders roadmaps moot. **Almost**...

Roadmapping is massively easier once you define your product vision and strategy.

@ttorres That's the theory...all too often the practice is, "Here's the roadmap, which we've set in stone. Just FYI." Collaboration is the key to success, which means soliciting *and* incorporating feedback on our plans.

"When we present backlogs full of user stories and roadmaps full of features and release dates—we are asking our stakeholders to give us their opinions on those outputs." bit.ly/3YvWlfM #prodmgmt #ux #engineering

@onejasonknight You were a hell of a lot more polite than I would have been in the same situation...
