#ProductManagement Dysfunction #10, from our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Throne Room.
When asked to pivot, seek additional rationale for the change and the timing. Ensure the team and customer costs of wrapping up work / changing direction are known.

Sometimes, a founder or CEO can become the king or queen in a throne room. Here's how to manage this dysfunction:

#ProductManagement Dysfunction #9, from our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Negotiating Table.
PMs often optimize their choices to keep as many coworkers happy as possible. Focus instead on keeping customers and users happy, and your colleagues will be too.

Product managers — you don't have to give everyone what they want. Give customers what they need. Learn how to open up the "black box" of #prodmgmt and get stakeholders behind the "why" of your product decisions 👉 bit.ly/3PYe79N

#ProductManagement dysfunction #8, as defined by our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Bridge to Nowhere.
Are you over-engineering your product or feature, or investing a lot of time on unnecessary infrastructure? You might be suffering from this issue
3 Aug 2023
Bridge to Nowhere is when product teams get excited about developing infrastructure for future needs that never become relevant. To stay grounded in reality, provide plenty of context & focus on product-eng alignment. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/3OgXXH8

#ProductManagement Dysfunction #7, as defined by our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Roller Coaster.
You can expect lots of product pivots after a product launch. If you feel there are too many for your product's stage, you might be on The Roller Coaster.
1 Aug 2023
When it comes to product, investors & execs need fast results or they can be tempted to pivot suddenly. To prevent roller-coast whiplash, focus on outcomes and showcase your why. Learn more about the #10ProductDysfunctions and how to overcome them 👉 bit.ly/3PYe79N

#ProductManagement Dysfunction #6, as defined by our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Business School.
Often business cases use inaccurate assumptions and projections. Can you use other rationale to explain the ROI on major product investments?
31 Jul 2023
Product teams—don't get so caught up in analyzing metrics that you avoid making tough calls. Focus on your company strategy & ruthlessly prioritize features that will make an impact. Learn more in our #10ProductDysfunctions ebook with @prodify 👉 bit.ly/3PYe79N

#ProductManagement Dysfunction #5, as defined by our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Feature Factory.
This issue creates a bloated or confusing product UX and a culture focused on outputs over outcomes. Pause the factory to measure release results / KPIs.
28 Jul 2023
What does a feature factory build? Features. When is a feature factory done building features? Never! Learn why building just one more feature might not close that deal or retain that customer in our #10ProductDysfunctions ebook with @prodify 👉 bit.ly/3PYe79N

#ProductManagement Dysfunction #4, as explained by our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Science Lab.
Are you putting all your energy into A/B tests, hoping incremental changes will produce game-changing results? You have to balance iteration with innovation.
27 Jul 2023
In a Science Lab, #prodmgmt teams focus all of their efforts on measurable yet superficial product improvements. Collectively, these small optimizations don’t add much innovation or customer value.

If you want to be a customer-centric product team, you have to talk to your customers, prospects and users regularly.
Read more to see how to address this issue.
26 Jul 2023
In the Ivory Tower, #prodmgmt teams think they know customers better than customers know themselves. Consequently, they build products no one wants or needs. The Ivory Tower is a trap.

#ProductManagement dysfunction #2, from our co-founders @RajeshNerlikar and @fosterinnovates: The Counting House.
This is where the teams are so obsessed with internal metrics like revenue and profit they gloss over what value they need to create for customers that leads to $$$
25 Jul 2023
In the Counting House, #prodmgmt teams obsess over metrics like revenue growth, MAU & retention. However, many metrics are trailing indicators. It's better to focus on delivering value to customers.
