Super stuff

Great talk. One of the best PM talks I saw recently. Wonderful content and delivery.

I really enjoyed the memes, good examples and the learned-lessions in this talk.

Fantastic talk! spot on, and well communicated.

Great talk, even better book. Read it, it is mind blowing!

a great talk! agile is becoming popular, at the same time lots of people just learnt the motion of doing scrum. The true agility starts from the right problem, the product management is the key to enable it. I like how Melissa wrap up at the end - it all comes down to people, yes people with right mindset!

Insightful!! Thanks

clean thought process

It's not quite right that Agile doesn't talk about customers. Even it's quite the opposite. Agile puts emphasis on velocity to ship a product quickly so that you can get feedback from customers early on and then adjust your product iteratively. What went wrong is that we practice Agile in the wrong formate or half format and then blame that it's not working.

Still super relevant

wow

Someone give me a page where I can get all these memes!

“My developers” says everything about fiefdoms.

As a Dev, hearing someone say "My developers" makes my skin crawl everytime. If you're on the team, just say "My team" or "The Devs on my team". 🤷‍♂️

What about engineering led organisations?

You end up with betamax

Every function in org thinks they should be the one leading :) Everyone thinks they are the most important. I'm an engineer and I've heard the same thing for engineering so many times. Companies should be led by customer needs and satisfying those. Product/marketing/sales/engineering are all subordinate to that.

Technically led by the "customer's needs and satisfying those" is the very definition of Product

@@kobac8207 When people refer to 'Product' it doesn't mean it's an actual 'product', it can be a service, etc. Product means it's the instrument that delivers 'value' by satisfying the customer's needs, pains, desires, etc. I think your company is thinking of Product as simply making product specs or something. But what you are saying is exactly a Product Led company

​@@alexdubelko3349 I don't agree for the reasons I've mentioned. Product being a solution space, needs being the problem space. Talking about the customer needs instead of the product or anything in the solution space anchors the conversations and aligns the effort. Service was never interpreted as a product, although your definition would like to extend that far. I'd say that's also one of the reasons there's a distinction between service and product companies. As a side note, having a 'product' department or function in the company carries higher risk of being interpreted as something that is a more valuable function and that everyone else is a supporting role.

@@kobac8207 Thanks for the comment kobac. I see what you're saying about solution space. You should actually check out her book 'Built Trap' but also check out "Customer Discovery Habits" (Really good book). Many of these leading Product books make a huge point to stop thinking in the solution space, since your solution is built on a ton of assumptions. Spend time interviewing, researching, etc and understanding the customer's story, then go back validate, test hypothesis on whether you actually understand the need, if the need is big enough, urgent enough, important enough, etc, then you spend time coming up with multiple solution hypotheses to test against the customer's problems. I think there's an implicit instinct for Product people to jump to an instant solution before throughly exploring the problem. But really good Product is led by customer need or that's what it should be.

I wonder who has put dislike or if they even speak any English or just have missing link in brain.

Thanks. Less memes be great
