Consistency.

Influence and trust is built through demonstrated and consistent results. It is not built through who has the best idea.

Show stakeholders that you’ve done it before as evidence you can do it again.

You'll be able to earn more ambitious goals/scope each time.
A strong sense of purpose that guides prioritization.

It’s saying “heck yeah” to this amazing thing that we’re all working on together and not letting anything distract us.

Saying yes to a purpose makes it easier to say no or not yet to other things.
Cultivate good structure and process:

🏬Set a team structure that reduces friction and dependencies as much as you can.
📢Reward communication and transparency.
🥅Empower and unblock teams through context and goals.
🤗Learn what works and doesn’t from your teams and iterate.
Co-elevate. Form true partnerships with others.

Communicate your vision and understand theirs. Work together to mutually accomplish them.

You’ll be able to produce terrific outcomes and success for your products and organization.
Communication & transparency.

Human nature is to trust what you can see and be suspicious of what you don't see.

#buildinpublic: share what's happening, how it's going, and bring others into the process.

This will make your life easier, trust me!

Reflecting on introducing #product to a traditional org.

I made some (now obvious) mistakes and learned some lessons the hard way.

Time to represent the unglamorous side of #productmanagement:
Context: this was my first time entering a traditional org that never had product before.

I had no idea just how hard it would be as an outsider.

My boss and I were both new, and everyone we worked with had been there for some time.

Ok, let's dive in.
❌ Making changes too soon without context

We thought the team was too large and wanted to split it to two teams, putting more emphasis on certain areas and less on others.

We failed to communicate the benefits we saw along with where we wanted to take the team.
