Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds Good product management
What is a product manager?
‘mini CEO’ ? responsible influence usually without much formal authority
(not a great way to describe yourself to a team)
‘single wringable neck’ ?? responsible committed (but so is the
rest of the team) clear point of accountable contact (not a great way to describe yourself to stakeholders)
mindtheproduct.com/2011/10/what-exactly-is-a-product-manager
Seven characteristics of good product management
(IMHO)
1 - Putting users first ensuring the team makes decisions
based on data and user research, not instinct or just scratching our own itches
2 - Bringing the most useful problem for the team
to solve next having identified the most urgent things, the most useful things, the hardest things, what’s the current priority?
3 - Owning a prioritised backlog what are the next
few things? planning ahead (a bit) not being the only one adding to backlog
4 - Not coming up with the solutions (that's the
team's job) helping define testable hypotheses
5 - Listening. A lot. being constantly aware of user
feedback, data, research, what's hurting users most, what the team needs, internal priorities, external pressures...
6 - Defending the team saying no to lots of
requests, communicating upwards and outwards, shielding the team from noise
7 - Strong opinions, weakly held 1 having a clear
vision, while still being able to change your mind 1 saffo.com/02008/07/26/strong-opinions-weakly-held
