As engineers, we work with product managers (PMs) every day, but we often overlook this relationship as an area to…

Since I started working in Product profession I have been looking again and again for the Perfect RFC. This is, basically, the document where all the Discovery information is dumped, and is the Delivery executor. Its role is transcendental when developing features.
Professionals are people who are engaged in an activity as a full time occupation. We are all hopefully a professional at something and so we can all benefit from professional grade tools. I buy and appreciate professional grade tools at work and I…
Your point about ending up spending more time managing stakeholders than your product really resonated with me. Working on an article now that covers some of this area. That can really be a tough part of a PM role as you need to navigate conflicting requirements, resulting in hard calls needing to be made (saying no). Thanks for a nice read Alexandra!
Why do a lot of products fail, and why do some of them succeed and do so well? What is it that kickass Product Managers do that makes them get such high output in less time, that average PMs would otherwise take large amount of time…

Great read Sean. I am personally a big skeptic when it comes to any bold statements/statistics on anything, especially design.
Usually the numbers, experiment or underlying assumptions can really be tweaked in a way to support your hypothesis before you even begin. I believe they should be taken with a grain of salt, but I…
In part one of my career change story, I set out a rough idea of where I wanted to go, really with very little insight into where I would end up. One year later, I have made decisions and plans to set myself up for success and a new path forward.
Great read Rodrigo. Your point about removing yourself as the critical bottleneck stood out to me. For a CTO or even a CEO, I’ve seen many that don’t appreciate that as a business scales, the way the business needs to run has to change with it.
Many feel they need to be involved at that grassroots level to be really in…
One of the most important relationships in a technology company is between the product managers and engineers.[1] This relationship is the key to successful product development. Each position plays an important role on the product development…
I’m a big believer in that nothing or nobody is perfect – we don’t know what “perfect” is, plus who is the judge of that? As a result, avoiding every form of failure I feel isn’t the best idea. Your points here I agree with – failure isn’t great always, but learning from it is the important part. As a result, I believe setting up a failure framework…
Great read Tim – as a PM, I agree with a lot of the points you’ve got here. Whether it is communicating key development decisions or keeping a clear business objective, everybody should be focused towards the business’ northern star. As a PM, we should be champions of open dialog about everything Product – from objectives right through to end results.
In the past, I worked on a product for a client that is a large (one of the largest employers in the state) non-profit health insurance provider. This is a highly competitive market, and this company’s strategic advantage more than anything else was customer loyalty. The loyalty…
