Product Managers, failures are merely plot twists in the epic story of your success. Embrace the plot twists, keep writing your story, and don't give up until you reach the final chapter. 📖 #productmanagement #nevergiveup #perseverance

Rise & shine, fellow product managers! Don't fall into the trap of blindly A/B testing every little thing. Trust your gut - if a brilliant idea hits you like a ton of bricks, it might just be one that's worth implementing across the board. Happy innovating! 🚀 #ProductManagement

Life has been fully consuming my time the past two weeks. It’s been the most trying time period of my life. I will get back to writing at some point but my creativity has been zapped

Had a flooding incident this weekend, and now the family and I have to move out of the house for a while so we can get some mitigation work done. Will be interesting to try to work from a hotel room with 3 kids

@joulee That’s true. Data is also very good at removing the emotions from decision making. A sound case, backed by non-manipulated data can be irrefutable

@jojadev Speaking personally, even if I had unlimited PTO, no way I’d be able to take any more than I already do. It’s just impractical IMO. From a business’ perspective, it’s actually a cost saver because you don’t have to account or accruals in your operational budget

@tobiasrogers I think this is true, but I also don’t think it should make us uncomfortable. To me, it helps clarify where we should focus our investment, making sure that the 20% constantly remains relevant and impactful

@LisaZane15 Very simple. What do you think makes a good product manager? Their response illustrates their priorities, their comprehension about the role and highlights organizational fit

It’s been one of the top 5 worst days of my life today. If you’re having a good one, savor it and appreciate every minute of it

In your experience, what do you think is the best way to organize product teams? By product? By feature? Around the tech stack? By customer segment? By journey? I know it depends on a lot of factors, but I’m interested in hearing about everyone’s experiences

First day at the pool, and the cell service still sucks. Was hoping to be able to use it as another work location this year, but might be a no go

@leo_guinan Without giving it a second thought

What are your thoughts? Are there things you don’t like about remote work?

[Court Zierk @CourtZierk]

Remote work isn’t all great all the time. What are the worst parts? Here are five things that drive me crazy

[Court Zierk @CourtZierk]

5. The sedentary nature. When I used to go into the office, I was much more active throughout the day, walking to a different floor for a conversation, walking to lunch, etc

@Blaize79 This is a good point. I have found that leadership will listen to alternatives when those alternatives create better organizational & customer outcomes. A good idea is a good idea, and a good business is hard to refute. PMs shouldn’t underestimate their ability to influence up
