While it is useful to learn about different tactics & modes of managing & operating, do not forget that ultimately what will make or break your company is your product, brand & revenue. So the first thing you must aim to be great on is how to conceive the right product & sell it.

I’ve been a CPO under both models, currently running all of product, eng, design, data and (while I’m at it!) technical services & support. Either model can work, but there are a few reasons why the PED (prod/eng/design) leadership consolidation happens:

Over the weekend, I took @shreyas course on Managing your PM career in 2023 & beyond. It was insightful covering from hard questions to practical tips you can apply after finishing the course. 100% recommended https://t.co/wYLtps8lHK

For the past 4.5 years I worked on the distributed Microservices architecture. I wish modular monolith would have been chosen because the initial Microservices choice was driven by the hype rather than real business need. Accidental complexities overwhelmed the business purpose.

I managed multiple engineering teams before quitting big tech.

Now that I quit, I can speak freely.

Here are 12 things your manager may not be telling you, but I know for a fact will help you. 👇

"Simple APIs are not just easy to understand but are also easier to scale, more performant, and safer. Moreover, it’s easy to add new features to an API, but hard to remove them." https://t.co/yu5Gyzgpdd

"The goal of the product alignment approach is to guide structural opportunity discovery, solution discovery, ensure product collaboration and knowledge sharing in the product org as the company rapidly grows." https://t.co/RmjuoqOORc

"El secreto del éxito consiste en mantener un balance equilibrado entre las necesidades de ingeniería y producto que garantice lo único que verdaderamente importa: dar valor continuo a nuestros clientes." Muy buen artículo de @simonvlc https://t.co/3W4dg5Alkx

"Everyone has the ability to be great. It's our job as leaders to provide the environment where greatness can happen" ~@ldavidmarquet

[Jordi Abad @jabad]

"This means that designers pair with engineers... it also means engineers participate in customer interviews... it means that the product managers facilitate decision making over being the decision mak-ers" https://t.co/VDlwZOXNdz

The first rule of leadership: put your mission above your ego.

The second rule of leadership: if you don't care about your people, they won't care about your mission.

The third rule of leadership: if someone has to tell you the first two rules, you're not ready to lead yet.

The team and the club are over the individual members. It also includes the best football player ever. Thank you @10_LioneIMessi for all the moments of joy you provided during all these years.

[FC Barcelona @FCBarcelona]

Thank you, Leo.

"Good architecture starts with modularity ... This can be done within the monolith before physically separating them in a microservices environment." https://t.co/4s6gk058eU

[Jordi Abad @jabad]

"As a manager you are not building a product, you are building a team that knows how to build products. Thus, making your team successful should be your primary goal and metric to evaluate yourself against." https://t.co/78vjAmsHYb

"Craft matters, and craft enables outcomes and quality. But craftful work can also be mediocre work if it doesn’t solve a real problem. Craft AND focus/purpose is an incredible combination. Shoot for that!" https://t.co/sLISQLm2aE

"We need to empower our development teams to do their own operations" https://t.co/t08SFcrDD0

[Jordi Abad @jabad]

"Building a great product and achieving product market fit will lay the strongest foundation to your future sales engine. Once you’ve nailed product-market fit, tracking the sales funnel and corresponding metrics is relatively methodical and established." https://t.co/TFttmo0F8Q
