@JustAnotherPM Would you ever know for certain? I think you’d only know looking back.

Product Sense is therefore a highly underrated skill - the ability to make decisions for the product that maximises impact, even in the face of immense uncertainty.

But, let me ask you this.

Which one product management concept always appears hazy, unclear, misunderstood and/or under-internalized?

Despite so much written and spoken about it, that concept is #ProductStrategy, right?

[Product Fundas @ProductFundas]

What can one write about #ProductStrategy that is not already written?

The answer is Nothing.

Stalwarts like @cagan @shreyas @lennysan @danolsen @gokulr @sachinrekhi and several others have already written extensively on #ProductStrategy.

[Product Fundas @ProductFundas]

The tool that comes in handy to explain your Product Strategy is the Product Roadmap.

The second part, also equally or more critical, is communicating those choices in a way to ensure everybody gets a shared and common understanding of those choices, and they take actions consistent with the Product Strategy.

Probably the best thing you'll see today.

In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

@JustAnotherPM When my engineers pay for my lunch, I have a technical debt

When you are a top performer, even the smallest mistake will be punished with a force that is evidently excessive.

As President Jed Bartlet would say, "disproportional response"

@JustAnotherPM Product Backlog is a prioritised list of features (usually written as user stories, but not mandatory)

Product Roadmap, although (in)famous as glorified backlog, is an awesome tool to communicate product strategy.

[Product Fundas @ProductFundas]

An astute observation from @shreyas as always.

People disagreeing, may probably not like the idea (staying in demand directly proportional to competence) because it rests the onus on us.

It is very easy to place the onus away from us, externally - circumstance, politics, etc.

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

Highly competent people are always in demand, in good times & bad. So really the best longterm career strategy is to focus on becoming highly competent. But it is hard to do this if you only want hacks or you tell yourself the story that there is no such thing as high competence.

@JustAnotherPM Vision: How will the world look like after you bring your product/service into it?

Strategy: How will you bring that vision to fruition?

Roadmap: A tool to communicate the strategy

Goals: Milestones (w metrics) that indicate if you are on the right path to achieve that vision
