New 📚 Release! Boken om prioritering (del 1 av 3 är klar): by Mats Kempe, Johanna Bach Wallentin, and Mattias Livré #books #ebooks #newreleases #productmanagement #management

Känner du att ni jobbar hårt, men ändå inte får ut så mycket? Ofta handlar det om bristande prioritering. I den här boken beskriver vi hur vi går tillväga för att få till fungerande prioritering, så vi får mer gjort med den insatsen vi redan gör.

Find it on Leanpub!

Today is the day before I write my weekly newsletter, so of course Brave chooses today to roll out an update that obliterates all of my open tabs by combining "redundant" "inactive" ones. And then automatically opts every user into this feature.

I had a few Mastodon tabs open, now they are just one tab that points to mastodon.social.

So, uhh...anyone write anything good on #Product / #UX topics that they want me to feature this week? 😅

I've been trying to get this post written for an embarrassingly long time! My professional roles have all been on the product side, and this is how I think about the product management space. Basically, PM can be mapped onto six fundamental flavors, as shown in this diagram (note the labels along the legs of the triangle).

Does your company have a great vision of where you're going, but you're struggling to execute on it? Do you feel like you're not sure how to do your job?

I help companies clean that up through better product management. Imagine if you had a clear sense of direction, and your team has the autonomy to make those decisions.

This is Product Operations. I'm really good at Product Operations.

Reach out! I'd love to chat.

#GenerativeAI, #FoundationModels, #LLMs, and all of that hokey nonsense shall not appear in my #robotics roadmaps as anything other than a neat research item until it can demonstrate a feasible path to #FunctionalSafety or mathematical completeness.

I lead #Product on the largest mobile-#robotic fleet known to humankind. I will not entrust decisions that could maim or kill to a pile of nondeterminate math prone to “hallucinations” or confabulation.

AI has already been used to run scams, rip off artists, destroy search engines, and drown publishers under an avalanche of shit.

Now AI boosters found a new thing to enshittify: #UserResearch .

"AI research is better than nothing" is the latest in a long series of "bad research is better than nothing" arguments that miss the point of research in the first place.

Microsoft's Copilot button is a shining example of the form factor trap.

Who remembers when Siri came out and voice assistants were the future of computing? Samsung built a physical Bixby key into their phones (and went through massive pains to prevent users from disabling it). Microsoft had a dedicated Cortana button ship pinned to Windows 8's dock. Google Assistant was a default Android homescreen.

Any #prodmgmt leaders with…thoughts/opinions…who would be willing to be interviewed - on or off the record - to provide background and research for a long form essay / book on the history, culture, and role of emotions (conscious/subconscious) in modern #ProductManagement?

I’ve been writing in public forums for a year, have a loose thesis, and need to put rough ideas in contact w/ others to polish them.

If you see this, are curious and would be willing to help, let me know. Thank you! 🙏

"We need designs for this feature" is understood as a business need, but why is "ok so we'll need to interview 15 users" often framed as a #uxDesign need?

Designers aren't asking to talk to users because they're lonely. They're asking to talk to users to get the data they need to design *the features the business wants.*

#UserResearch is a business need. When business argues against doing it, it argues against achieving its own objectives.
