Great thread in response to @leeloowrites’ thoughtful posts about the need for change in the UX field.

What your portfolio really tells people...

Since time immemorial, when a CEO asks a PM at Product Review, “what do you need to 10X users/revenue?”, “what will make you go faster?”, etc the PM steadfastly responds “We need [N] more engineers”. The Eng Mgr nods approvingly. A story thread, with some hard truths to swallow:

Building a diverse and inclusive team requires - looking outside your immediate network - being flexible with secondary (and some primary) skills - expanding your search outside your core geography - look in places outside your comfort (go-to) zone

You might have missed this, so I am posting it again (yes, its that worth it): The Elements of Digital Ethics by @axbom axbom.com/elements/

How many times a day do you refer to groups of people as 'guys'? Inclusive language matters: words have the power to include, or exclude. Why not #ChooseToChallenge gendered language by using these great inclusive alternatives (courtesy the GDS Women's Network)? #IWD2021

A thread of resources for aspiring & new Product Managers: (should also be useful for Eng, Design, Data Science, Mktg, Ops folks who want to get better at PM work or want to build more empathy for your PM friends ☺️) (oh, and pls also share *your* favorite resources below) 👇🏾

1/ Collaboration Tax Getting two or more product groups at a megacorp to collaborate on creating a seamless end user experience is the hardest problem in computer science. (I am not joking)

If you’re a Startup trying to compete with a Megacorp—the 800-pound Gorilla in the space—you need to understand the tax inherent to being a Gorilla And then you need to make that tax work against the Gorilla—with your product's positioning & features A thread on Gorilla taxes👇🏾

Add these 10 biases to your product team's shared vocabulary 1–Confirmation Bias 2–Fundamental Attribution Error 3–Availability Heuristic 4–Plan Continuation Bias 5–Law of Triviality 6–Curse of Knowledge 7–Law of the Instrument 8–OutcomeBias 9–Bandwagon Effect 10–Bias Blind Spot

Here is a simple lesson I've learned from reading books on writing. Take a piece of your writing and control or command + F to find these words: so just very quite really pretty surely rather in fact actually that said of course Delete them. You are now a better writer.

Zoom meetings are basically modern seances

It’s 2019 and I just heard a speaker tell a design audience that “there’s research that shows you only need 5-8 users to find 85% of the problems in a design.” I pine for the day when this myth finally dies.

Time for a meta-thread on the Product Management content I’ve posted over the past 6 months. This one is long, but I hope it can serve as a useful & quick reference for PMs. It has 4 sections: 1. The PM Role 2. PM Skills 3. Strategy 4. PM Leadership Are you ready? 👇🏾
