@brian_levenson @onejasonknight Almost the same experience here. 60 and 5th Matt...

[LaunchNotes @launchnotes]

So what would it look like to prioritize work that ACTUALLY ladders up to an outcome, or even better yet, the overall company strategy?

We're talking with @_mattoconnell from https://t.co/18gAhZ9O4v about letting product strategy drive your roadmap https://t.co/NoiEGX3Wxm

"Many startup teams get stuck thinking that because they don’t have a product yet, they can’t set an outcome. That’s because we assume an outcome is only valuable if it’s measurable." - @ttorres

@saeedwkhan @onejasonknight @loujaybee Really they are just looking for somewhere to organize all their 1/4″ bits.

@jennbo80 @onejasonknight I've had this same problem... Any success trying async stand-ups?

I've tried async and found it has its own set of trade-offs. I feel there has to be something in the middle.

@jboogie When writing code, I cannot count the number of times "the answer" became clear after taking a walk or coffee break. Not even thinking about the work.

[Matthew O'Connell @OconnMatt]

If a team misses a goal - instead of trying to figure out why the team failed, try running a post-mortem on your outcome first.

Was the outcome well defined? Feasibility, desirability, viability, usability, and ethical assumptions identified? Realistic time commitment? #prodmgmt

[Matthew O'Connell @OconnMatt]

@onejasonknight Haha just saw something around this idea for sales software. https://t.co/xewhCWDPKC

@onejasonknight This is great.

How cool would it be if it was more of a push-to-talk setup (muted by default)?

I'd even be on board with a short forced waiting period before you could speak 😅.

Why do we make EVERYTHING easier? Some friction ≠ bad IMO

A visual take on product vision, product strategy, and #OKR deployment.

[Matthew O'Connell @OconnMatt]

#OKRs are a battle-tested tool for creating focus and alignment. Without a product vision, the focus and alignment OKRs provide will be uncoordinated and open-ended.

It's worth investing in a product vision.
