It happens when the product manager forgets about the "Why" and becomes a waiter. 🧵
To please everyone, PM collects and waterfalls all the requirements to the team. But no matter how much they implement, it gets only worse. Features shipped in a hurry do not solve anyone's problems and do not drive the expected business results.
The feature factory.
Fortunately, you can prevent or escape that trap. Try this:
1. Sometimes, you get specific requirements (outputs) from powerful stakeholders or the company's founders. Reverse-engineer them by asking: "how do you measure the success"? And then, "If I do it differently, would that be ok?"
After a few questions, you have your outcomes.
2. If strategy 1 doesn't work, wait one day and say: "We'd like to use OKRs as Google does." Then reverse-engineer the requirements and start the discussion about OKRs.
Define objectives as outcomes. You have your outcomes.
