8 years offline. Left for a week. Missed 847 rebrands, metaverse pivots, and everyone becoming prompt engineers. Built products. Led teams. Made every PM mistake twice. Wrote a survival guide for people who do the work instead of tweet about it. Back to shamelessly plug it.

I'm writing The Product Manager's Survival Guide in public. 59 chapters over the next year. Not guru theory. Real tactics for PMs working with limited resources, political chaos, and impossible deadlines. The standard advice exists. This shows you how to adapt it.

Chapter 1 is live: What Product Management Actually Is Not the job description version. The survival version. What to do when you have 1 day for discovery instead of 6 weeks. How to build influence with no authority. How to filter bullshit when you're new chrisspagnuolo.info/blog/chapter-1…

Chapter 2 is live: What Product Managers Are NOT PMs aren’t project managers, product owners, scrum masters, designers, or engineers. Knowing what you’re NOT is as important as knowing what you ARE. chrisspagnuolo.info/blog/chapter-2… #ProductManagement #prodmgmt

If companies continue to apply execution metrics to innovation projects then they set their innovation teams up for failure and career suicide. Innovation needs it’s own set of metrics.

Customers are experts of what they want to achieve, not how to achieve it. Keep that in mind during customer discovery!
