@nickselman @BranchInsurance Hi Nick, that’s me! Would love to chat - https://t.co/5hB4JU8l2K

@larsboehnke @shreyas Why us - Does that align with our mission? do we and are we the right company, do we have a skill set to do it better?

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@shreyas The 10 commandments of product strategy 👌

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@shreyas We won’t rescue you, this is too good 😂

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@shreyas Here is my take, All of what you mentioned + seeking/networking/ self marketing is needed. The importance and impact of each will vary by individuals as we are all unique and our situations are unique. We just give credit to the most perceivable attribute.

@shreyas I have seen companies who do this but it’s 1 big event a quarter with multiple product teams - chaotic and no meaningful feedback
At what level should this review be, Strategy, Roadmap, Experience ? How often? In what setting ?

@SantiagoPombo @shreyas @reforge +1 for @reforge and also talks by @ravi_mehta @shreyas, Mayank Yadav and many others
PMs need exposure, experience and learnings from real world case studies. Theoretical courses don’t go far.

@aakashgupta To add, I also now emphasize a lot on simplicity, structure and focus.

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

I do not know of any product that failed because the team used a sub-optimal sprint process, issue tracking tool, or North Star metric.

I know of plenty of products that failed because they did not understand their customers, picked the wrong problem, or could not differentiate.

@shreyas Example: Intuits customer obsession and Stripes writing culture would shape you as a very strong PM compared to another mediocre company.
My vote is for C and D. It is very hard to analyze a hiring manager as a 10 or a 7, easier to analyze a company, lots of data available

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@shreyas It is very hard for a PM to become a superstar with a mediocre company and mediocre hiring manager, you may have to spend time externally to grow which is less efficient overall. PMs have Project thinking vs Product thinking because of the environment they learnt being a PM in

@petergyang This is the solution the world has chosen to show support but not actually help by getting hands dirty. It’s necessary but not enough.
It’s like, we will help solve the world hunger problem by giving free food and feel good about it.

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@shreyas @shreyas What is the definition of a strong company ? Is it brand, or people and connections you make or culture etc. You could be working in a superstar at a startup or a mediocre team / leadership at a FAANG. You rarely know the reality when making the decision to join.

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@aakashgupta Indeed, 1. Validate assumptions 2. Iterate over MVP 3. Don’t stop when experiments fail or succeed, learn the why. 4. There can be many solutions to a problem so keep trying 5. Learn and fail fast, don’t go for perfection all the time.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Two growth product goals no one talks about:

1. Have no single point of failure
2. Have no single path to success

Building an app that doesn’t scale, or a single way to use your product, is the way of the past.

It’s not just growth levers, but growth defenses.

@shreyas Biweekly by default should mean every other week 😂

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@vamshivelmajala @shreyas You can’t use an experimentation framework to attribute a metric moving, it’s the other way around - you track your key metrics, daily/weekly/monthly and assess why it went up or down, a new product release experiment you ran, change in user behavior, seasonality, etc.

[Em unsupervised @zencloud532]

@shreyas Based on my experience, The 1X items lead to upgrading the product to meet the ever evolving market, The 0.1X items may lead to customer delight, loyalty, better economics and some times all this can unlock pursuing of new 10X opportunities.
