Hey everyone, Iโm working on a project that has to do with how people consume information on Twitter/X and would love your insights! ๐
We made a quick 2-minute survey, and Iโd greatly appreciate it if you filled it out! https://t.co/Ayo7cVjV07
As a Product Manager, I can't help but envy Elon Musk and the Twitter team's position.
Just imagine this.
What if starting tomorrow, you were given direct access to a user group providing real-time feedback?
You wouldn't need to hypothesise whether a product change was beneficial.
You'd have carte blanche to experiment, test, and enhance the product.
You'd be able to observe the impact of your actions.
And regardless of the controversy it might stir, you will have our support.
Would you sign up?
That's the reality of Elon and the Twitter team's world.
The game of product creation has completely changed.
He has truly transformed what it means to Build in Public.
His fame attracts both praise and criticism from the community.
550 million views on a product release announcement!
It's giving us access to a wealth of real-time, uncensored feedback.
This level of transparency is unprecedented.
Why do I envy their position as a PM?
Public roadmaps are a frequent topic of discussion in the product community. The ongoing questions include:
- Do you make the roadmap public to your clients?
- Do you make the roadmap public to your company?
- How detailed is your roadmap?
- How far into the future do you create the roadmap?
When Elon took over Twitter, he announced that he would "break things" and we would enjoy the ride.
But I wasn't expecting this level of transparency.
From Twitter files, Twitter Blue, subscription models, and API changes to advertisements for creators, we witness all the changes happening live on the platform.
I can't think of any other company I use that does that.
I have no idea how Google or Instagram are changing their algorithm to affect me or how Netflix is trying to get me hooked on a new TV show.
Accessing real feedback, customers, and data has been a longstanding challenge as a product manager.
We learn the best practices for building products from books.
The typical cycle for startups and products is to build, measure, and then learn.
Yet, for most of us, measuring is the most challenging step.
You make decisions, some big, some small, and then you wait.
If you work in B2B, you're lucky to get any feedback.
Collecting data and feedback on the impact is a daunting task.
But Elon Musk and the Twitter product team don't have to wait.
His transparent communication strategy gives him an unparalleled advantage.
He makes a change, and its impact is immediately apparent.
While the competition relies on sophisticated metrics and analytics.
They do it all out in the open.
It's a PM dream - The butterfly effect
From a product standpoint, it's extraordinary.
For instance, regarding the latest change on post-view rate limits, he was able to adjust them an hour after the announcement upon seeing the impact.
Each decision alters the current reality.
Like a thrown stone's ripple effect on water, Elon Musk and the Twitter team can see the immediate impact on their platform.
He is the megaphone and a hack all product development teams wish for.
We know he's capable of investing heavily to reach his goals. We've seen his track record with Tesla and SpaceX.
He will wield immense power over the social media platform if he successfully leverages the data.
What's crazy is that people who were supposed to leave the platform long ago are still here, either to watch it crash or burn.
Just as he did with his other ventures, he's created an ecosystem with himself at the centre.
From a product management standpoint, there's much to learn. How can we emulate this transparency in our work? How can we build a community around us and turn instant feedback into actionable insights?
