@viktorsarstrom Gick upp 05.15 med 2 barn, dagstur till Fredrikshavn, nattar barnen kl 21. Mör. ❤️

@stephanie_leue I totally agree. But. Rhetorically, when talking about delivering great products, rather than great value, my experience is that many people tend to focus on output over the outcome.

@johncutlefish @IamHenrikM Couldn’t agree more!

[Sebastian @seblevander]

@johncutlefish Definitely Teams. The only good thing that came out of this pandemic! It actually proved to management you can trust people from distance, with the availability to work from anywhere in the world! A big cultural change for the entire organization!

[Sebastian @seblevander]

Such a good way of telling them the truth 😁 “The hippo way of managing a product”.

[Sam @sambhigham]

You’re only the Product Manager if you are effectively managing the product.

Otherwise you are just another stakeholder trying to shout the loudest…

[Sebastian @seblevander]

@sambhigham I think this is one of the real problem though. In the red corner, The Product teams/IT/development vs the blue corner, The Business. Fight! The day we oversee that and unite as one, we’re one step closer to leaving the project paradigm behind. Just a thought.

[Sebastian @seblevander]

This is one of the major reasons for all weird, rough and tough discussions within all companies I’ve worked for. Project vs. product. Once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it! ❤️

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

As they grow in size, teams within megacorps and startups tend to implicitly bias more towards Project Thinking and not enough Product Thinking.

Product Thinking is a mindset and a process that, once you see, you cannot unsee it.

Product Thinking, Project Thinking, a thread:

Santa came early this year! As one of my favorite people on Twitter, I’m excited to finally get my hands on @ttorres book. #productdiscovery #BookTwitter

[Sebastian @seblevander]

Me and lots of other PMs tend to struggle with prioritization, but sit tight, your skillset in prioritization is probably not the issue. I bet your company lack a clear vision and/or strategy you can hang on to! Keep up the good work. #productmanagement

“so that we have a single process for the entire organization”
is a death toll of software.
This is how large organizations slow themselves.

Unifying process gives every change a wide impact, and that means change must be slow.

@viktorsarstrom Fem kids och en Touran. Låter som titeln på en skräckfilm 😝 Men ja, kanske det kanske.

@viktorsarstrom Cyfe? Klipfolio?

Kim Goodwin, spot on as usual!

[Kim Goodwin @kimgoodwin]

I am convinced that a lot of “technical debt” is really “problem definition debt.” It exists because nobody took the time to define how the tool or the data would need to be used over time, even though many of those uses are easy to anticipate.

[Sebastian @seblevander]

Finally done reading Radical Candor, by Kim Scott. The book is packed with valuable insights, practical tips, hilarious stories and a much, much more. A solid 5 out of 5!
But what really hits me, is that a lot of people seems to have lost their common sense! #radicalcandor

[Sebastian @seblevander]

It’s finally here! The long awaited book, written by @herbigt - Lateral Leadership. A loooot thinner than I expected, but still a lot of interesting reading! #lateralleadership #agile #timherbig
