"New focus cost: context switching, alignment and dependency mapping, increased cost of software maintenance" #mtpcon

.Pippa Topp talking about why PMs often don't feel like a 'proper' product person. We wear lots of different hats, spinning lots of plates and often we spot those "pockets of brilliance" with hindsight: "Omg, we did that really well at my last place!" 🙈 #mtpcon #prodmgmt

.Pippa Topp recommends using a framework by Neal Cabage, which allows teams to heatmap their capabilities, making it easier to spot the 'pockets of brilliance' within a product team: nealcabage.com/framework/prod… #mtpcon #prodmgmt

.Itamar Gilad telling #mtpcon how to validate and evaluate ideas quickly to see whether they can be turned into goals #prodmgmt

You know the C in your RICE or ICE scoring? How do you pick your Confidence score? Itamar Gilad has developed this tool to help narrow it down #mtpcon #prodmgm

Paraphrasing Manon Dave: Product management can be a vehicle for taking all of the things you enjoy, smashing them together and making something great from that. #mtpcon #prodmgmt

The core lesson of this session: don't do this OR that, do this AND that. Free your creativity, bring that to work too, broaden horizons. Inspiring session if you're reflecting on your purpose and your future! #mtpcon
