If you’re applying for a PM job in this day and age, the following are all anti signals: - Strategic product leader - “Innovation” expert - Cross functional gtm expert - Literally any mention of Agile Or Scrum Please just start with what you actually shipped and what the impact was.

In my recent talk with the team at Productboard, I shared my perspective on managing stakeholders as a PM. Too often, PMs — and even product leaders — get bogged down in design reviews, technical debates, or process details and lose sight of the bigger picture. In my experience, the real issue is usually a misalignment on the guiding principles for the product or organization. When that happens, the most important move is to pause, elevate the conversation, and realign on those principles before returning to the tactical discussion.

As PMs, we spend hours sweating over features, roadmaps, and shipping velocity. But pricing? Often left to “someone else” — and usually too late to shape it meaningfully. Here’s the thing: "Pricing is product, Product is Pricing!" It reflects value, signals positioning, and directly impacts adoption. In this Substack post, I’ve shared 3 pricing lessons we need to learn. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gJU83XNP Would love to hear your thoughts — and what’s worked (or bombed!) for you when it comes to pricing strategy. #ProductManagement #Pricing

Jumping on the bandwagon… not bad ChatGPT 😂 Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what actually makes great Product Managers successful — especially during uncertainty and constant change. This article from Product School really resonated because it reinforces something I’ve learned again and again in my career: product success is less about having all the answers and more about how well you communicate and collaborate. When teams are aligned, informed, and feel heard, they stay agile, motivated, and focused on the right outcomes. A few reminders that hit home for me: 👉 Alignment isn’t automatic — it requires intentional communication with stakeholders and teams. 👉 Empathy across functions matters more than ever when everyone is stretched thin. 👉 Transparency (even when the news isn’t great) builds trust. 👉 Diverse perspectives and inclusive conversations lead to better products — full stop. Over the years — whether working in healthcare, nutrition, or digital health — I’ve seen firsthand that the strongest product teams aren’t just smart… they’re connected. They listen. They challenge each other respectfully. And they communicate with clarity and purpose. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e7gRB3XY #ProductManagement #ProductLeadership #Collaboration #Communication #DigitalHealth #AI #ProductOps

AI is rewriting the ROI playbook for product teams. For years, ROI was a gatekeeper. You justified every initiative with cautious business cases because building software was expensive, slow, and resource-constrained. That’s no longer true. AI has changed the cost side of the equation. Engineering is faster, leaner, and in many cases partially automated. The cost to ship working software has dropped — and with it, the cost to learn. You don’t need perfect certainty before you ship. You need a hypothesis, a clear success metric, and a fast feedback loop. The ROI question has shifted from “Will this pay off in six months?” to “What can we learn from this by next week?” The smart product teams are already adapting. They’re testing more ideas, shipping faster, and iterating based on real user feedback. If you’re still treating ROI like a tollbooth instead of a learning loop, you’re increasing — not reducing — your risk of disruption. Is your team still pitching business cases, or placing smarter, faster bets?

Stop asking for “2-3yrs product experience” for APM roles. APM roles help grads become product managers. Or give them a path to becoming one. But now I keep seeing “2-3yrs product experience needed”. Companies need to stop asking for this. And start calling the role the right title: Product Manager.

Hypothesis: We don't need more PMs, we need more developers who hone their product sense x are focused on business outcomes you need consolidation of roles so that PMs can become more hands on, with LLMs people should be able to develop these skills - it's really not that hard

Product leader: Our engineering org uses [xxxxxxx] for program/portfolio management, but I've never spent a single second in that tool. This is a mid 6, low 7-figure mystery budget line, but it also makes complete sense. Most program/portfolio tools were designed for a decades-old version of program and portfolio management. Centralized IT teams. PMO as "gate", channeling the needs of countless business groups into a centralized group of developers. Mind-numbing spreadsheets with an engineer per row...their time dolled out across projects to please the optics requirements of a disconnected finance partner. "Product managers on the business side, POs on the 'tech side'". Teams measured on ‘say do’ ratios and ‘predictability’ The world has changed for many companies. Those models don't cut it anymore. Teams/groups are more independent. They are aligned around outcomes. Yes, you still have cross-cutting dependencies and strategic initiatives, but the PMO is no longer the gate, report generator, and glorified scaled project manager. Companies are looking for other solutions — and it shows. 1. Mad-scientist no-code setups that work brilliantly until the person who built them leaves. 2. Over-customized frontline tools that eventually become unusable for everyone. 3. Rigid platforms that force teams to work their way instead of adapting to yours. 4. OKR tools that handle goals well but only solve one part of the puzzle. If anyone of this resonates...reach out.
