Finished the first half of #InventandWander and here are my 3 main takeaways from Jeff Bezos shareholder letters over the years. -Consistency -Day 1 mentality -Accepting Failure Details in thread ⬇️

Agile methodologies are only one minor aspect of achieving actual product/development agility. They are simply the tools at your disposal, using them properly to maximize their value is a whole other level. As a product leader you must help take things to that “next level”

"You can't build a building like that" is always a straw man. The dirty little secret of people who hold up the building trades as an ideal for software development is that construction projects almost always go over budget, often by 2x or more. That's what happens when scope

Leadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about fostering a culture where questions lead to discovery. #productmanagement

Baby steps - creating different views and bringing them together. Getting that map pin was a bonus effort, thanks to ChatGPT for helping me with that piece! While it was frustrating, finally getting it to appear was rewarding!

The difference of technical vs non-technical PMs can be nuanced. Understanding it and defining it within your organization will help align expectations for stakeholders and for the PMs in those roles.

When the desire to be right is so high that it prevents you from sharing your thoughts (due to the fear of criticism) the only person who loses in this transaction is YOU. So the next time you have something to share--just share it. You will learn more (even if you're wrong!)
