The best podcast on Product Thinking

This was great and I’m lucky that I’ve worked at a company that did product really well! However, my issue with the product industry is we only talk about theories that apply to very established companies with very mature products. So what I see is people following product theory blindly when it doesn’t apply to their context. So my question is how would you apply these practices or how do these practices differ for early stage start ups with very very immature products/ non existent products.

Marty is always an inspiration

The ever insightful Marty Cagan! Such a great podcast Lenny, thanks for sharing.

I love everything Marty said, and as I've been in the industry for twenty years with properly chartered Institute of Marketing Training, it's always about the people behind the process and integration. And taking the whole team on the journey to solve a problem! As a coach, its always about the confident and empowered person behind the process! Nice interview!

An inflection point in any leaders growth is when they figure out "the first step to have an impact on your team is to give a shit about their development and career" (hint, it's not about you). Great podcast guys.

Terrific interview, so much knowledge packed in one episode 👏 👌 🙌

Thank you for this podcast.

Awesome, Marty says things without hesitation. Things i'd like all product "leaders" to hear. Loved the leadership vs process path comparation. So true.

The industry has created so many roles where few become barriers in terms of having direct access to customers, engineers, and stakeholders. This podcast is a real gem. It motivates me much to be part of such empowered product teams.

The fact that this video (at this time) only has 12k views is a travesty. The knowledge shared in this video isn't just for product people, it's for anyone who works in tech.

YES!Marty Cagan

At one time Marty mentions "the problem you been given". Would be interesting to hear him talk about how those problems should best selected/handed over etc. to make it differ from be given a quarterly roadmap?

Can someone confirm the books Marty referred to? One of them was No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings. What was the other one on Apple?

awesome

Interesting episode. What about the situation where the team is given the OKRs (business problems to solve) and then the features to build? 😂 I mean a situation where leadership provides the OKRs and then asks you to build the same features like competition? Yet somehow these features are supposed to help us reach the OKRs. Best believe this happens. What do you do in this situation? Is this also a feature team or not?

I think this is literally his definition of a 'feature' team and not a 'product' team, and in the interview he talks about going to the stake holders and asking for the metrics for success, and also asking if the team can try as an experiment working differently. It's definitely not easy, and I think his other point is that 85% or so of companies probably work in a feature team instead of product team approach, run by sales, marketing, and process people who have no understanding of a solution first product first approach.

Marty is based and product pilled

I work for a Silicon Valley company now and I hardly see the difference between a feature team and product team that MC is championing here. Had better job satisfaction being part of a feature factory and delivered more features that way! Probably just an isolated opinion of mine - but I don't get MC's whole argument about Silicon Valley Company vs Non-silicon valley company.

Hello Lenny , great questions with a lot of good insight. I think Marty was speaking of Shreyas at www.youtube.com/@ShreyasDoshiVideos. Have a great day!

Marty has the same cadence as Chris Rock :)

Sometimes it seems these top professionals are juggling with approaches and pointing the accents. Some advocate for managing the personnel, while others advocate for managing the product. I got confused about whose advice to follow. May be better I go back to do it my way, my wrong way 😀

EGO my friend, ego trumps everything.

Do MBA & become the boss

@cvshealth has empowered and balanced product teams, Enterprise Product Acceleration (EPA)…. Look no further and help a person on a path to better health…
