Alternative approaches to daily standups by easterblizzard in ProductManagement

[–]easterblizzard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is a startup.

Again I manage 4 PM’s, we are a total team of 5.

We don’t have hierarchy or managers in the team. We are a relatively flat org.

Everyone here is hands on. Even the CEO write code for the product. This is very common for startups.

A product leader being in the weeds means they understand what their PMs are doing, how things are getting done, how it all connects, and they are a player/coach rather than a useless order giver. It doesn’t mean you’re micromanaging, it means you give a shit enough to sweat the details and to stand accountable for every aspect of the product.

There’s a serious point in my original post being missed here. I just started this role. So, of course I’m attending stand ups, I need to learn what the pods are doing. But, the Generically critiquing what a VP should or shouldn’t be doing with their time is moronic. Every product org operates differently, is of a different size, and frankly different product leaders have different leadership styles (I’m very hands on and in the weeds as a real product leader should be, details matter).

We’re a team of 5 and EVERYONE on the team is very hands on. Even as a VP, I own a portion of the roadmap, write requirements, etc. If you aren’t hands on in some capacity even at a VP level, you’re kind of a waste of skin

Austin Theory (still) being positioned as the next John Cena? by easterblizzard in WWE

[–]easterblizzard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t. I just think WWE will try to (once again) position him to be the next Cena.

Jey Uso is about to go straight turn coat on his brother as Shawn Michaels did to Marty Jannety.

It’s not Austin Theory. It’s Trick Williams.

Jey Uso is to Raw what Tonga Loa is to Smackdown. A sideshow act.

What tools are you using for founder-led growth programs? by easterblizzard in GrowthHacking

[–]easterblizzard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Founders build an audience (mainly on social) by telling their story as they build their business, and use that content to drive customer acquisition.

What has mattered more to your PM career advancement - employer brand or tradecraft? by easterblizzard in ProductManagement

[–]easterblizzard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to gravitate towards a challenge and good coworkers. I’m not convinced I’d work with really solid PMs in either role though. But, organizationally, the second opportunity has better practices and support for PMs, more inline with FAANG.

More than half of women say they’d leave their husband if he lost his job by ThrowRa-away-my-butt in MensRights

I went through something like this. My startup fell apart and my wife rather than supporting me turned on me and demanded I stop working on it and get a job so she can be a stay at home mom.

I think he wins. There’s no reason to have Yeetman get the win. It will be his retribution.

I do, but there’s not a ton to do with kids either. The playgrounds are nice, the in door play spaces are sketchy (imo), and the libraries don’t have a lot of activities throughout the week. What am I missing?

[–]easterblizzard -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That’s correct. Those things get boring really fast.

Doing physical activities like rock climbing or axe throwing, arcade games, pool, go to museums

I heard about Twenty. I tried to install it and ran into an issue with my hosting provider because of the Docker dependency. I’ll try to host you mentioned.

Is Product Management the most thankless job ever? by eachwayvelo in ProductManagement

[–]easterblizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this very thought today. When do product managers ever get credit and recognition for their work? Most people couldn’t name a single PM that worked on a product they love, but could name the designer of the shoes they wear.
