Some Product People get so wrapped around the wheel of outputs and processes and make blanket statements about how to do product and what to use - when we need to understand the principles of product and how to work those for users and the business. #principles are in thread👇

[Product vs. Engineering @prodvseng]

We’re looking for the following leaders who have experience working with Product Management and Engineering and would be willing to chat with us for Season 2 of @prodvseng:

1. CEO
2. Legal
3. Customer Care

DM me if interested or know someone who may be! Thanks in advance 🙏

@onejasonknight This thread is 🤌

- A “reskin” of the site 🙄
- We need our “own CMS” because there aren’t better ones we can buy 🫣
- Reporting dashboards, from scratch ⌚️
- Expanding into a new market we know nothing about 💸

[Katie W-M @ProductNotions]

@real_lisa_adams @onejasonknight Shouldn’t this always be a consideration of Product Managers?

[Katie W-M @ProductNotions]

When we talk about trade-offs in a product, no matter if it’s #design, #tech, or some other area, we have to consider the #risk we’re introducing with the trade-off and determine if that risk is larger or smaller than what we get with the trade-off. #prodmgmt #tradeoff

@epatt6 GHTM that says this 💩 my presence.

[Katie W-M @ProductNotions]

@kimralley @AveryGWilks Ah, ok - thank you! From this vantage point it looks like he’s staring a hole through AM’s head.

[Katie W-M @ProductNotions]

I’d say do what feels right for you.

FWIW - I hyphenated for several reasons, but the main reason was for my kids. My single mom dealt with so much drama having a different last name than me. And as a mom of Bi-racial girls, I have enough people assuming they’re not my kids that I need whatever proof I can get. The hyphenated last name helps.

@PatThePM “Let’s just add all this information in case we need it…” 😆 Been there!

@MandyMatney Are they…#alternativefacts 😬😅

@0Katrina_Smith0 @MandyMatney 😆😆😆

@MandyMatney Is it just me, or could these slides have been much better to drive home the points the State is making?

[Katie W-M @ProductNotions]

@onejasonknight I’ve had conversations with budding PM’s who think it’s all strategy. When in reality, in many places, we’re lucky to “do strategy.” The point of my work/messaging is that if you know the principles of product, strategy is always in reach, if only mentally. It can’t be either or.

[Katie W-M @ProductNotions]

@MandyMatney The State is coming down hard on AM’s lies on the stand 👀

@davidfuesser “How might we?” unlocks a lot of doors to great ideas.

@paulisthrivving @ianharveyOT Good feedback. While it’s not called out explicitly, user problems and hypotheses should be weighed/validated against business needs and strategy. This is part of product viability.

[Katie W-M @ProductNotions]

#prodmgmt Twitter can be an exhausting space at times for #productpeople - step away when you need to. Your job is probably not here, it is with your product/s and your users.
