@JustAnotherPM Product scaffolding =

Vision: Casting vision for the future to be created

@petergyang @dennyyus @shreyas @kennethn Personal experience: Atlassian, and we built our PM tracks at FullStory similarly. Honors the craft. Allows for experimentation. Keeps motivations more pure.

3/3 Human Resources ➡️ People Ops. ❤️ Surprised? They’re proactively designing and building so *people* like you can do the best work of your life. Bringing intentionality and a strategic lens. Authoring and accountable for OKRs. (Feels like Product work!) Wind in the sails.

💯❤️ The process of writing — drafting, editing, revising — helps crystallize your thoughts. For Product people in an async world, it’s crucial to pursue excellence here. Crisp writing = Clear thinking! ✍️ ⌨️

[David Perell @david_perell]

You write not just to share what you’re thinking but to discover what you’re thinking in the first place

[Evan Michner @EvanMichner]

@johncutlefish 💯 🙏🏼 And, aware of the bias + exposure across the spectrum of environments = stronger Product leader!
