PMs use the Kano Model 5x more often than alternatives. Unfortunately, the model focuses on the features. So, how do we fix that? (1/8)

@jarango What problems have you had with iCloud sync? It seems to be working for me across two Macs.

Sadly, I might have to take a day off to explore alternatives for (and migrate away from) DEVONthink. It's a great app, but iCloud sync makes it impractical for working in a multi-device ecosystem. It's also central to my knowledge garden, so moving away won't be easy.

@sarahdoody I don’t know how many beta readers you have but I did 4 for my first book and 4 for my upcoming book. I had one beta reader bail from my first book when his young daughter became seriously ill. Otherwise everyone came through.

Ugh, so many of the beta readers for my book are backing out 😭 I didn't realize it would be *this* challenging to get people to read a book they said they were so excited to read. Fellow authors, is this normal? #ux #uxdesign #AuthorsOfTwitter

“I ran the org phenomenally well. I ran the best OKR process known to mankind. I had the perfect north star metric. I had the best dashboards. I set up all the right systems & meetings. Sadly the product didn’t win. Just bad luck I guess. But I am sure the next one is a winner.”

"Design thinking" frameworks are created by consultancies, so they're patterned after how consultancies work: we come in for this fixed period of time and go through these steps in order and then we are Done. This makes no sense for how design is practiced by product teams. 1/3

Ten hard truths product designers need to hear 👇

@PavelASamsonov @Readwiseio save

Bad: bucketing data from user research by keyword and building features based on which keyword came up most often Worse: bucketing data from user research into "proves we were right" and "proves we were wrong" and then building it if the "right" number is bigger

After coaching a lot of very successful people, here's an unsexy truth: A lot of success is learning to grind when it's boring. Staying engaged, working, and seeing it through when it's "boring" is a skill. If you expect all building to be exciting, you'll never make it.

Most people feel there are too many meetings. However most people also hate the idea that they aren’t being included in important conversations and decisions.

@shreyas @readwise

One huge mistake that many managers make is to tell a senior member of their team: “<XYZ> is entirely your decision. I am here to serve you. I will defer to whatever your decision is here.” This happens at all levels e.g. a Founder/CEO delegating “product strategy” to the CPO.

@jrc_collins @resing @carriehd @MikeAtherton I mostly design applications, but I’ve also used object modeling in IA work to model content. I didn’t cover it in the book, but have in workshops. The model includes objects (content areas) and relationships. Here is part of a model I developed for NASA.gov

@resing @hpadkisson Take a look at “Designing Connected Content” by @carriehd and @MikeAtherton. I don’t know @hpadkisson’s book, but I suspect DCC would resonate with you.
