🚨 Airbnb just eliminated its traditional product management function.

This is one of the boldest experiments in product management we have seen in quite some time.

→ Who’s going to own the roadmap?
→ Who will cross-functional teams collaborate with?
→ Who will be responsible for writing the team’s charter, focus problems, and metrics?

Brian has been posting Twitter threads of each of Airbnb’s two most recent product releases. So it sounds like the executives are re-taking over the roadmap.

And, presumably, engineering managers and designers will split the other tasks. It will be an interesting experiment to watch.

The crowd erupted in applause. Is there something broken with today’s product management? What do you think of the change?

The product manager life.

TL;DR: when Tech, Product, and Design are equally responsible for the product's success, they'll have to truly collaborate. And the result would be much better solutions for the customers.

Imagine if you had to be responsible for the success of a thing"…https://t.co/PelfCg8shf

My tips of the week (applicable to both Product Managers and Engineers):

Pro tip for both engineers and product managers

1) Make it work.
2) Make it better.
3) Make it perform.

Thank you for this, Fernando Cargnelutti. I learned that from a note on your desk back in 2010 and it has been my mantra ever since

It's good to have DAU, MAU, and NPS metrics on your radar but you need to do the work of determining which ones would make sense to your product and then act based on that.
Great reading!!!

Typical Product Leadership concern: "how can we move faster? how can we be better at product? how can we have bigger impact?"

"my company seems to be in a terrible cycle. We are so reactive. Nothing is stable. Nothing lasts. There’s so much churn and pivoting. I want a sense of stability"

According to this, that's a sign of a "shaky foundation".

If you, as a Product Manager, have conversations with people about "delivering features" and you want them to understand "how to have an impact" just respond:' "The issue isn't just intent but effect."
