Most teams have a bias. They are good at testing usability, but forget about desirability. Or they are good at feasibility, but forget about viability. Come learn a balanced approach to identifying assumptions: https://buff.ly/3GwQnos #prodmgmt #ux #engineering

In my business unit’s product development department , we typically have tons of discussions during features, needs, solutions etc. By stating the pains/needs/outcome clearly, we can help each other focus on the topic. This lead us to use the consultant firm style ppt reporting to start most of the discussions when we think we are onto something. The second hardest part of this approach is the MECE. But overall, good clear communication comes from crystal clear thinking and logics.

Product managers: you might think you are messing up interviews, but the problem might be more profound. Many product managers believe they must develop more technical skills or follow best practices to land their dream roles. However, the real issue often lies in how they position themselves. Effective positioning involves telling your story as a leader and believing in your leadership abilities. Think about this: Have you ever felt the frustration of working endless hours, perfecting your resume, and preparing for interviews, only to be silent or rejected? You might be doing everything right on paper, but something still feels off. Despite your technical prowess and hard work, you do not see the results you deserve. You start to question yourself: - Am I good enough? - Do I have what it takes to succeed? - Why am I not getting the recognition I deserve? Self-doubt creeps in, and the confidence you once had begins to wane. It’s exhausting and demoralizing and can leave you stuck in your career. The constant hustle, the fear of being overlooked, and the pressure to prove yourself can affect your mental and emotional well-being. But what if the problem isn’t your skills or your qualifications? What if the real issue is how you’re positioning yourself? The truth is, you don’t have a job search don't; you have a positioning problem. It’s not about doing more; it's about presenting yourself differently. Effective positioning means knowing how to tell your story, showcasing your unique value, and demonstrating your leadership potential. Ask yourself: - Do you know how to get visible for leadership positions? - Are you effectively communicating your value and what you bring? - Despite your expertise, are you struggling to make the strategic impact you desire? If you answered "yes" to any of these, it's" ti"e to rethink your approach. Positioning yourself right can transform your career and open doors you never thought possible. Imagine entering an interview with a straightforward, compelling narrative highlighting your strengths and achievements. Picture yourself confidently articulating your value in terms of technical skills and as a strategic leader. Envision the respect and recognition you’ll earn when you are the expert and leader you are. Only when you take control of your positioning and believe 100% that you deserve that role can you maximize your chance of landing it. -- P.S. If this resonates with you, and you: - Are a product manager - You love to take action - You are committed to career growth But if you need help landing that ideal next role, D.M. DM me "dream role," and I will send you details. We only work with selected folks and have started limiting how many people we accept monthly.

I had the opportunity to join a webinar today in which Teresa Torres discussed the common mistakes that product teams make when trying to construct and use Opportunity Solution Trees (OST). My biggest takeaways: -As amazing as generative AI can be, DO NOT let AI (or any automated process) do this work for you. The work IS the point, the document is not. -This is a method of using samplings of customers in order to make decisions - this is not quantitative data. Recognize the value of each and do not confuse the two! -The OST is a living document - return to it after every 3-4 customer interviews (you should be doing at least 1 customer interview per week) and adjust based on what real customers are telling you. -Oh yeah - and if you are not conducting customer interviews on a regular basis, you are not ready to start using an OST. Thank you for this webinar - it was great!
