Last but definitely not least in #TwelveDaysOfProductChristmas, we have my chat with @cwodtke, author of numerous books, including The Team That Managed Itself & Radical Focus. I chatted with Christina about empowered teams, learning organisations & OKRs. Check it out right now! 
The first OKR book I read was actually Measure What Matters, and I was surprised to find out that Radical Focus (first edition) came out before that book. I decided it would be a good idea to try to stoke some controversy and get Christina to say John Doerr sucks, but no dice 🎲
Christina did this interview wearing an arm cast but didn't let injuries get in the way and we had a wonderful chat about the state of OKRs today, what people are doing well, what they're doing not so well, and some of the common mistakes to avoid.
As we near the end of our #TwelveDaysOfProductChristmas, we go back to my interview with @allenholub and ask ourselves.. is Scrum "agile"? Do we need to use all the stuff that's in it? Are structured frameworks bad? For all this & more, check out the interview on your podcast app
Like many of you, I've been following Allen for a while on Twitter, and I'm aware that he's a polarising figure for some in the agile community. His spicy, somewhat fundamentalist takes jar with some but I've got a lot of time for the discussions they provoke.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got on the call with Allen - I mean, sure, I used to be a developer but I'm a product nerd now, and Allen can be somewhat dismissive of product people. That said, it was a great, good-natured conversation & shows the man behind the Tweets
For today's #TwelveDaysOfProductChristmas, we return to @parkercrystal_ to answer that age-old question "How do I get into product management?" - I chatted to Crystal about her journey into product management and how she's trying to help others get in. Check it out now!
I first bumped into Crystal on Twitter when she tweeted something along the lines of "I got my first PM job by taking a UX course and finessing the rest" - I thought it showed an incredible amount of moxie and I had to find out more. I was delighted to have her on as a guest.
My appreciation for her tweet lost me at least one follower, who seemed to long for the days of gatekeeping product management. Their loss! I'm a big fan of getting people from non-traditional backgrounds into product management and Crystal has a lot to say about it
