There’s nothing like a brand new generation of the world’s most popular phone—complete with a new…
Some of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned at Cockroach Labs have been from selling or watching other people sell CockroachDB. As product managers, we are often focused on building features that meet a user need, but a big portion…
‘Internet of Public Service jobs’ is a weekly list of vacancies related to product management, user experience, data and design in…you guessed it…the ‘internet of public service’ curated by @jukesie every Sunday.
I wasn’t sure whether I was going to weeknote this week. I said that I would have a couple of weeks off for my leave, and now am having a wobble that what I want to say won’t be of interest. But I am writing that down, so I guess I am…
So, today we’re going to talk about making stake holders agile, or the job of dealing with stakeholders that…
Pricing as a SaaS company is easy. Charge per user.
The profit you’ll reap when a company with a hundred employees sign up is huge.
Genius.
If you’re in any kind of relationship, you understand how important trust is — but you also understand…
A great reminder here Bharani on why product and development teams need to keep strong relationships. Even though both teams want to achieve the same overall objectives, when issues or problems pop-up that people can’t fix, they make judgment calls based on what they’re trying to achieve . In this example trying to prioritise a/b tests over page load speed because they couldn’t figure out how to fix both.
Ah yes, you do make a good point about keeping the separate flow there too, I missed that sorry! Sometimes writing comments here on Medium, I notice that the comment window closes you off from being able to view the article again while you’re writing, so you can overlook some parts of the article while focusing on the comment your writing (on mobile…
A useful list of resources you’ve got here Aleksandar, some of these I use daily as a designer. I won’t lie, from the title I was expecting resources more focused towards product managers, but after reading I see how that could be interpreted both ways.
Awesome read here George. I think the rapid pace of innovation and the huge influence of social media means people rely on their networks to get insights about new products from people they deem similar to themselves, because there is just too much going on. With so many startups spraining new products, services, marketplaces and more, it would make…
This is all too common of a situation Sebastian whereby small startups find a larger customer and cling onto them at all costs. Building a product around one customer is typically never a good idea – you’ve shown a lot of good reasons here as to why. The angle you’ve gone with on fixed pricing strategies is a great way to overcome such a problem…
I would tend to agree that in the rush to get products out the door and into market, more of the ‘emotional’ elements tend to get overlooked in favour of cold-hard features. A solid 2FA module has more to ‘show’ for itself immediately than tweaking wording or flows to better build an emotive connection with users. The reality though, as you’ve really…
Thanks for sharing this! A really useful kit to have stumbled across. I’ll be sure to keep this up my sleeve as a suitable tool for PMs and the like that require such features.
Thanks for sharing this Meg! It does sound like it puts an interesting spin on collecting problems/ranking their importance. I think the pain scale is an important part to make it really useful. Might suggest such an idea to some of my clients and see if this works for them.
