Pill #20 – ‘The chicken or the egg’

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This metaphor is used heavily in business conversations, specifically when decisions have to be made.

We may be asking the wrong question?

Pill #19 - 'Superoutcomes'

I believe we did a good job moving Product goals from outputs to outcomes. We understood launching is not the end but the beginning.

Yet, the question that has been stuck in my head is ‘what does proceed outcomes’?

💊 Pill #18 – 'Removing chaos'

‘Chaos is where great Product Managers shine.’

I bring a radical perspective to the relationship with chaos: Chaos as an ally, a secret weapon.

Proceed with caution.

💊 Pill #17 - 'Just a few more user interviews'

This week somebody asked on LinkedIn: ‘How much time would you recommend spending on discovery prior to creating an MVP?’Actually, I’m guilty of asking the same to the researchers occasionally…

💊Pill #16 - 'MVPoor'

MVP is a very powerful word, however, commonly misplaced and misunderstood in non-Product-led environments.

💊 Pill #15 - 'Product warriors'

In a parallel universe, Product people are warriors. Perhaps in the metaverse as well. We are in the front row of the battle, but instead of acting on a battlefield, it is on a business field.

💊 Pill #14 - 'Hip hip!'

January is a period when HiPPOs come out of the water…

Today I would like to bring another thought to the HiPPO thing (pshh, another unpopular opinion, my favs).

💊 Pill #13 - 'I can’t start without designs'

This is my unpopular opinion: Scrum is designed to optimise waterfall processes, not to change them. You are just doing waterfall but in shorter times.

Last pill of the year!

💊 Pill #12 - 'Data not found'

How many conversations are you having without any data backing argumentation? I already know the answer: too many.

I'm also introducing a new category: ‘Caffeine’, so you can ‘open your eyes’ from time to time ☕

💊 Pill #11 - 'I'm right'

Yeah exactly, I'm right. I. AM. RIGHT. Mine is bigger than yours.
The mouth.

Pill #10 - 'Feeling comfortable with daily work'

Probably you are now kicking off strategy for 2022? How many times did you write ‘2020’ already? I hope you ideate something else that ‘make more money’!

If you are a Matrix fan you are going to like this one. Also if you believe in empowered Product teams.

Pill #8 – ‘If we are using #Agile we don’t need deadlines’

Well... it may be more complex than you think

Pill #6 - 'I'm a Prodect Manager'

Now, you can vote if you feel better (or not) after taking the pill. You know, sometimes swallowing is easy, and other times sticks in one's throat, eh?

Pill #2 - 'Our business goals are not our #Product goals, but kind of. Our Business strategy is somewhere but we know that is not our Product strategy. So, let's do #OKRs. And a Product #Roadmap.'
