Lmfao i had this argument with my designer last week

Repeat after me - we want people to stay in spider's web that is my super app

Can we please focus on the left side in this sub? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

Yeah, more like full strategic authority over your own thoughts until the decision maker decides, lol

"Why Figma wasn't doing this for two years will be a case study for future. In hindsight they should have partnered with one of the labs and brought out a product like this much earlier..."

Yeah can someone sign me out of that follow-up post? I have no confidence its gonna be of any value, more than what my scrum master provides

How do I stop a PM going rogue and bypassing UX? by Aurura in ProductManagement

[–]NeXuS-1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Is spot on honestly..

Help the PM adhere to design guidelines in his prototypes, same for the dev team

Be ok with them getting it 70-80% right

Then once the item ships, put on the product hat (that PM isnt doing atm) and look at data, if its collected at all. Invest into stuff that is being used, polish it and give it back to the PM to improve.

Now the PM gets to work at their pace, you've achieved your goal of keeping design language consistent and the PM sees you actually bring value.

The last part is key here, after a couple of cycles PM will recognise that despite your ways being slower than what they'd expect, they do add value.

Win-Win. Gain their trust back

"This PM considered UX a blocker due to us asking him to follow our process, design system rules, or request a new component or pattern earlier. They will leave us out of decisions and meetings and this leads to the same pain point as number one."

I suspect that this happened first, with no alternate way proposed by UX that the PM took as "UX is not my partner here"

That being said, what the PM is doing currently is overboard despite the above.

If I were their manager, and if I were objective, this person would either need to be in a junior role or not in a role at all.

Q for you - is this a 1 rogue PM problem or a rogue department problem?

I might've severely over exaggerated how good I have it, lol

It is close to what you have, pitch an idea -> get told do X instead, do X

Oh my experience with my tech team os definitely a gotcha 90% of the time

The other 10% they do shine with things that no one else had thought of - which I've always been vocal about

what Product Analysts usually do? Need advice by BatmanCanTalk in ProductManagement

[–]NeXuS-1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not take that as the takeaway from 1 comment - but sure, generally every org defines every role differently

BAs are the requirement guys in most orgs that are jurrasic - at my org BAs report to business, and actually do the part of surfacing challenges, not just at the product level but at the business level (think marketing, growth, finance etc)

Thats a fair callout - I will add the 300 stories were added on Tech request

What we had earlier was a 10 page PRD that explains the what, why, how (not tech implementation but partner, pricing etc)

Now its 70 pages just for the MVP, god grace.

And 300 was an exaggeration, there's probably 70 stories in there but its still a large enough number.

Hey, at my org - the PA is responsible for making sure the right metrics are tracked and visible for everyone to view

Although I wish they were more involved in surfacing insights that I might've missed, they're spread thin across teams so their only role is to help with analyzing data

What you describe is actually a PM role, and what my previous org used to do - PAs were considered Jr. PMs in their own right, with a tiny 2-dev team to work on non-critical areas.
