"Since automating recruiting for user interviews, we've pretty quickly been able to identify opportunities and test our assumptions, with a few being invalidated in a very short window of time." - Dan C. more pearls from Teresa Torres students bit.ly/3FY4b99 #prodmgmt #ux

If you haven’t read Steve Divitkos great “In The Trenches” serioes of early-stage CEO insights, this is a great starting point “The Biggest Temptation of a Software CEO” mineolasearchpartners.com/2022/06/09/the…

Sigh. Keep fighting the good fight.

And so many have benefited from this pivot

I'm excited that @delizalde ’s "B2B Innovator’s Map: How to Get from Idea to Your First Ten Customers" launches today geni.us/TheB2BInnovato… Fills a big product thinking gap for B2B/Ent: buyer vs user, complex processes, long sales cycles… just ordered my copy.

Potty-training new pup… our older dog also gets a treat on his successful completion if she’s nearby. She now hovers and anticipates. Perhaps a management parable: the team #GSD (gets s**t done) and exec gets #OKR bonus? Christina or Ron Lichty?

From a coaching call today CPO: The CEO of my FinTech firm sees coming downturn as a way to hire great engineers at lower prices. Me: You can’t day trade engineers. Best won’t be let go, or quickly picked up. Takes 6+ mo to find/hire/onboard/get productive: think long-term

Thanks, always an interesting conversation

Where Product Managers should be investing for self improvement and other advice from Rich Mironov by readaskwhy thanks for letting me join in askwhy.substack.com/p/understandin…

per some Enterprise sales orgs: "a working customer request process ends in YES for most requests" mironov.com/incompatible/ #prodmgmt #leadership #incentives #timehorizons #LoveYourStakeholders

Prod/Eng POV: #ProductManagement must carefully curate and validate the handful of items which will make a measurable difference to the broad customer base mironov.com/incompatible/ #prodmgmt #leadership #timehorizon #GoodOfTheMany

I hear a lot of… “we really want you to challenge staus quo and make tough choices” but in practice reward order-taking and boat-non-rocking Not clear if this is overselling or lack of org awareness, but deeply frustrating

And “lower your voice 2 octaves” is less than helpful

Many of my CPO/VPPM coaching calls are about how revenue side of B2B SaaS companies talk/think/decide - essential skill is translating tech-talk into money-talk "Prioritization is a Political Problem as Much as an Analytical Problem" mironov.com/pri-politics/ #leadership #prodmgmt

"Two Development Team Configurations I Lobby Against" mironov.com/team-configs/ Product management doesn’t run Engineering; Engineering runs Engineering. But there are some team configurations that I push back on... #prodmgmt #leadership #organizations #software #partnering

demonstrating a supportive management framework

It's very hard to objectively measure whether a #prodmgmt team is performing well. So as product #leaders, we must "merchandize" good work/outcomes/learnings from our extended groups (eng, design, prod, research...) to the larger org mironov.com/merchandizing #leadership

Conway’s Law for Product Organizations old post at mironov.com/conway/ TL;DR: org structure of SW teams is reflected in the code/product. How we group people has a real impact. #productmanagement #LeadershipMatters

"Product Models, Service Models, and Investor Valuations" B2B investors value software license revenue much higher than services revenue. How does this shape our strategies? lnkd.in/gxZs5CyE #economics #leadership #saas #software #strategy
