When I started planning out product roadmaps a few years back, I thought to myself, this makes sense. Planning. It’s a good thing. Plan out a few releases ahead. That’s wise. Then I noticed something. Not once, not a single time, did the roadmap match up to what was built. This was true across products, across jobs, across industries. So what happenend?

It’s GDPR week! Keep Calm and Manage Data Responsibly! I’m not going to go into an exhaustive breakdown of exactly what GDPR is, as there are plenty of other perfectly good posts about that. I’m also going to avoid – wherever possible – the legalese and specific jargon that comes with it. By this point, you’re either familiar with it or you’re in for a nasty shock in the near future!

By Ellen Gottesdiener Part 1: Confusion Abounds With the maturing of the software industry and with an overwhelming acceptance of agility, I am still surprised at the inconsistency and overall confusion between what product managers and product owners do. On a panel I participated on this very topic, the presenters had different, sometimes contradictory perspectives.

One of the most common questions I encounter in my work as The Clever PM is a simple one — “How do I become a Product Manager?” And, while the specifics depend greatly on the individual person, where they’re at in their careers, and what companies they want to break into, one of the things […].

There’s an old saying in sports – winning cures everything. The same could be said for B2B organizations that consistently meet their strategic goals. When organizations are winning, many of their so-called problems fade into the background. Which brings me to an important point that every product management team should consider: If your organization is on a crusade to find and solve customer problems, STOP!

Guest Post by: Jie Jin (Mentee, Session 5, The Product Mentor) [Paired with Mentor, Andy Wadhwa]. The learning experience in the past few months with my mentor Andy Wadhwa has been profound. If I could pick just one thing to share, it would be: focus on delivering outcomes, not features. I vividly remember the first conversation with Andy. At the time, our product team was in a process of envisioning our ideal product.

Exploring the basics of creating and testing UX prototypes. The best user experiences don’t happen by luck. UX designers and researchers follow an iterative process – testing pieces and versions of the product and making improvements along the way, until, in the end, you’ve got a thoughtful and useful product that people love. Ideally, that UX process involves creating sketches, then wireframes, then prototypes, and then the final product.

I always enjoy hearing from alumni who have taken the Pragmatic Marketing Price course : I was in your Austin Class last May. It was fantastic, and I had a question on price segmentation for software. Our company is successful in the B2B market, but is attempting to focus on a specific segment (IT service providers). The issue is that we are selling the same software but have changed the pricing model to suit the specific market need, which is different from most businesses (sell by number of si

Be a Product Manager is annoying sometimes. A lot of people think that exist some glamour in be the person behind the product decisions and this is what seduces the unsuspecting crowd to be a PM/PO. The point is: don’t exist just one person behind of a product, but a whole team. Soon, some PMs or POs insists on falling into the spotlight trap. I separated three things that a PM/PO should not do, that in my opinion, can make the relations between of PM/PO and company worse.

The world of golf balls turns out to contain a great deal of combat Image Credit: likeaduck. When you think about the game of golf, what do you think about? If you are like me, you probably picture Tiger Woods hitting a golf ball, those very pretty greens that everyone plays on, or maybe even a nice set of golf clubs. However, it turns out that the world of golf contains some major product battles that have nothing to do with any of these things.

Interesting article from the Nielsen Norman Group, focused on detailing what Brutalism and Antidesign movements are about, and how they impact the product experience and how users consume information. It’s a way to document a trend and approach that walks in a direct opposition of what UX is focused on, but it’s still a trend with enough advocates to justify attention and debate on it.

How product managers can turn a marathon into a sprint. Many medium to large organizations are adopting agile practices, such as the use of Scrum. Some are having more success with the adoption than others. Most of these organizations are also using some form of stage-gate for the development of new products. When done right, stage-gate reduces risk, reduces time to market, and increases the return on innovation investment.

Col. John Boyd came up with a theory of warfare called the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act). He theorized that all military action came down to collecting information, analyzing it, deciding how to act, and acting upon the decision – in short, OODA. The side that moves quicker through this loop has a better chance for victory. More importantly, speed through the loop would disrupt the opponent’s OODA loop, putting it on the backstep, reacting to situations that have already become
