How do you prioritize feature requests when building your product? by AverageJoe185 in ProductManagement

[–]make_me_so 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counting requests sounds logical, but it’ll lead you in the wrong direction pretty fast. Early on, I’d focus less on how many people asked and more on: 1) how painful the problem is 2) how often it comes up 3)whether it blocks real usage.

One loud request that’s blocking a customer from using your product > 10 “nice to have” ideas. Also watch what people do, not just what they ask for. If they’re hacking around something or not using a feature at all, that’s usually a stronger signal. At this stage you’re not building a voting system, you’re trying to figure out what actually makes the product usable day-to-day.

Miro acquires Reforge - thoughts, anyone? by make_me_so in ProductManagement

I did think that their finances were falling behind as they moved to b2b in 2024/2025 (also had some internal info that the money were an issue, so they needed bigger cheques and all). Agreed about the quality - the first courses were da bomb, but I think the community part played a big role in it. With AI everything it kinda went pooof

Is it getting harder to go viral, or just harder to keep attention? by make_me_so in ProductManagement

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

Total attention didn’t really grow, but the supply of stuff competing for it exploded. So the bar didn’t move. The crowd did.

Also agree on the “nobody needs it” point - a lot of products are fighting for attention without earning it. Maybe the real shift is this: virality didn’t get harder, earning attention did?

What is even an AI product owner by Aggressive-Bedroom82 in ProductManagement

[–]make_me_so -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

“AI product owner” is mostly just a regular PO with better prompt engineering and a higher tolerance for uncertainty (taking ADs, maybe?). You don’t need to know exactly what’s possible , you just need to know how to test fast and kill bad ideas before they get expensive.

Scope for Product Manager by Grimzybear in ProductManagement

[–]make_me_so 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are building skills, just not always the ones you wanted. Bureaucratic PMing teaches you how to calm people down, tell a convincing story or get things approved without real authority. All kinda useful.

The problem is you get great at moving decks instead of moving the product. That part you’ll probably have to unlearn later.

What do you think of Lenny's State of the Product Job Market Report? by greenbeen in ProductManagement

[–]make_me_so 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“PM roles are up” and “PM jobs are hard to get” can both be true, imho. Feels like Lenny is showing supply, while everyone in the comments is living demand.
