Best roadmap rundown I've ever seen.

🔸 Linear denies uncertainty (and is false)
🔸 Diverging acknowledges uncertainty
🔸 Branching navigates uncertainty

Most Product Managers are terrible story tellers because they don't have any scaffolding.

We all have great stories on our product already.

We just need a way to firm it up.

Here is a structure I use regularly.

I call it "Building a narrative top-down, bottom-up"

Confirmation bias is making the facts look like they fit your ideas. Critical thinking is changing your POV to fit with the facts.

Critical thinking might be the most underrated career skill out there. Most of us know how to think critically, but we inevitably fall into confirmation bias when it comes to executing on our most critical work.

That's the thing about biases - they're human.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆?

Ask the 6 key questions. It seems like a simplistic technique, but it's incredibly powerful.

Let's take a real work example: someone senior to you asks you do something. The tendency in this rough market can be, "let me hop on it!"

But pausing to ask the 6 questions can help you decide if it's worth your time -- and set you up for success if you do take up the task.

Let's go through each one.

𝗪𝗵𝗼

Who benefits from you doing this? Are you the right person to be doing it?

Sometimes, you are the right person. But it never hurts to ask. Because sometimes you aren't. Or the people who benefit aren't your top priority right now.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁

What is another alternative? What is the best case scenario?

Sometimes, there might be a better way to achieve the goal. If you can bring this up, you look even better than doing a good job. Other times, the goal might just not be worthy of your focus. If you can help your superior see that there's another priority, they're often happier you can prioritize well.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲

Where can you go for help with this? Where is there the most need for this?

Asking where you can go for help will help you think through how you will execute. In addition, contextualizing the ask in your broader scenario of where this leads to impact is helpful.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻

When do we need this by? When will we know we've succeeded?

You may think that you should drop everything to hop on it. But your stakeholder may not want that. Additionally, if it's a project with long-term impact, is everyone okay with the time it will take? Sometimes they are not, but they need you to highlight it.

𝗪𝗵𝘆

Why is this relevant to me? Why is there a need for this now?

You want to drive impact with things only you can uniquely do. If someone else can do it, understand why you should be. Sometimes, it's just important and you're available. That's a good enough reason, but it's important to know.

𝗛𝗼𝘄

How is this similar to? How do we do this in the future?

It's often good to think in analogies about work. It can help you pattern match your solution. And it's helpful to think about how you will do the thing in the future. This helps you drive to the future faster.

Overall, critical thinking is one of those skills that we all know about. But it's easy to fall back into confirmation bias.

Break out of the human tendency by asking yourself the 6 key questions.

Do you constantly get asked for dates and deadlines by your exec team?

It's frustrating, but it's important to remember that often, they just want to know the date of something because they don't trust that work is happening without it.

So, how do you win their trust?

More car hacking!

Earlier this year, we were able to remotely unlock, start, locate, flash, and honk any remotely connected Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, and Acura vehicles, completely unauthorized, knowing only the VIN number of the car.

Here's how we found it, and how it works:

Still one of my favourite articles about the role of the Product Manager.

"A PM with a high EQ has strong relationships within their organizaton and a keen sense of how to navigate both internal and external hurdles to ship a great product.
