Friday was my last day at @Optimizely, a bittersweet ending to a 7 (!) year journey founding @expengine, joining Opti, and leading our 💯 product team. I shared what I've learned in a last lecture, and thought I'd share it here too 👇 (warning: mega thread + startup realness)
#Alfresco product management is exploring the usage of the Share web application and we really need your help! Please complete the survey https://t.co/Ojqlh8Hb2K
One thing I've learned as an adult that I didn't realize as a kid is how precisely you have to aim at a goal to hit it. If you choose to optimize something even slightly off to the side, you'll sometimes achieve almost nothing toward your intended goal.
📣 We are so excited to share the recording of our latest Zoom Q&A meet-up with @cagan!
We also want to say thank you to @emilylabram for writing a transcript of the Q&A which you can read here:

Let‘s turn that @zoom_us criticism into action.
How would your software hold up if it experienced overnight, explosive growth?
Would your UX hold up under the scrutiny of being used by millions?
Cheat sheet! At the end of every project answer 3 distinct questions:
Did you hit the metric/goal (on time)?
Did users use/behave as expected?
Did users LIKE it? (have to talk to them to answer this, no proxies)
Every time I skip a step here I regret it.
Well I'm very excited to let *this* cat out of the bag! We're teaming up with our friends at ProductTank Bristol to welcome *the* Marty Cagan, author of Inspired, the must-read book on Product Management, as the guest speaker at our first ever virtual ProductTank Exeter! 🎉💥😎
One of my biggest gripes is when I hear people say “my executives just don’t get it.”
Maybe you’re not communicating it well? Maybe you’re not telling the story that’s valuable to them?
As #prodmgmt and #UX people we empathize with our customers all day. Why not our execs?
At an unconference the delegates put the schedule together by volunteering to run a session. This year our schedule filled up super fast and there’s a bunch of really interesting sessions up... #ProductCampSW
