I was asked several times along the time, why do you think you are a better Product Manager than your colleagues?

It's hard to tell. I was told by stakeholders that 'I deliver better features', 'more quality', 'I understand them better'...

#pm #productmanagement

1/6 I thought about it. I always try to deliver the best features I can, I try to think of my users, but... How to teach someone to deliver in the same way I do?

I realised I focus on 3 main characteristics. Everything I delivery must be:
* Simple
* Durable
* Effective

I started working in a new company 3 weeks ago. I am the first #PM this company has ever had.

As I am the first one, I decide how to do things when it comes to #productmanagement.

First days were crazy. Overwhelming. Everyone in the company had inputs and requests
→ Everyone's requests were different in many ways:
* Channel - email, docs, office, slides...
* Format - based on mocks, based on text, user stories, just ideas...

To get everyone aligned I started using a very simple structure on the tasks I made ready for development

I insist:
Travelling should require a license. I am in a cafe in Ho Chi Mihn, a group of Europeans (can't really tell from where) next to me:

After a few racist and stupid comments about Africa, Vietnam and Tunisia... 2 of them said:
* CocaCola is for for burning calories
* Smoking Orange flavour tabacco has more vitamins

Mi madre intentó sorprenderme antes de navidad, mandándome un paquete con comida a Berlín. Al parecer, contrató con @Packlink_esp... ¡vaya aventura!
* El paquete no ha llegado
* Y además quieren que paguemos otro envío para devolver el paquete a España

Me encuentro una notificación de una empresa de mensajería tirada en la escalera (sí, tirada en la escalera), no en mi buzón (como todas las empresas de mensajería hacen)

Do you know the quote?
“A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.”

Summarizing, I hate the movie, the 3 parts, I slept in every single one of them.

However, I love the quote, it's so versatile!

A few variations here (this is a thread): "A Spaniard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to."

I am Spanish, I live in Germany... Can you see the problem?

I use this quote when Germans are annoyed about punctuality, to be sure they know I don't really care.

It's 11.41am, I woke up at 7.30am. I am 4 hours and 11 minutes into the day and this is how shitty it is so far... (1/5) 1. I took my mom for coffee. It was delicious. She was checking a very fancy tee set... and broke it.
