Shaping your product and its pricing. Together - Product Monetization, Product Management and Product Leadership
Has any salesperson (or CEO, …) told you “I know the customers’ needs very well because ONE customer told me that…” Why did this happen? There are many reasons, but certainly the “hype” we see lately in product management does not help to bring product teams closer to the rest of the functions. On the […]

I still see too many LinkedIn posts and so-called product frameworks telling what you can and cannot do in product organizations. In the years I’ve learned to be less dogmatic about tiles and about what makes “perfect product organizations. Who said that you can or cannot have PMs alongside POs? Or where to draw the […]

Is this an economic downturn? Or did we hire too much?

Layoffs are a natural consequence. This is pretty much what […]
⚡ Here is a short outburst about PM credibility (with a concrete suggestion at the end 😎 ) ⚡ One of the dangerous things about #productmanagement , #ux and #design, is that it is that everybody feels the right to have an opinion about your product. Everybody “knows what you should do” better. An opinion […]
Working in a favorable environment, with an inspiring boss, and on a challenging product, are probably the main ingredients to progress in your product management career. If you cannot count on one or more of the 3 (actually, even if you can), a mentor can go a long way in helping you unlock your full […]
Good product management can contribute a long way to making companies able to navigate the unknown, reducing business risk, being customer-centric, and ultimately generating (and collecting) more user value. I call companies that do so the companies that “think product” However, recent trends toward hyped buzzwords and Product Fundamentalism have created a rift in the […]
We are already two weeks into spring and you’ve probably already dusted your apartment, moved winter sweaters into boxes, and got rid of old clothes and objects you won’t need anymore. But 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁? Some places to start looking for Product Debt: • A feature nobody really uses• A complex […]
