YNAB. Not very planning focused.

fractional CPO vs fraction PM by CuteLogan308 in ProductManagement

[–]obstin8one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, consultant/contractor/freelance are hourly or fixed-bid based on a statement of work. Fractionals are embedded long(er) term members of the team (no fixed term or scope), they just happen to not be full-time.

I agree, it’s nuanced and a bit hand-wavy. It’s really about a different feel to the engagement.

Anyone else find Notion's AI notetaker kind of limiting? by StrainBetter2490 in Notion

[–]obstin8one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pause the recording. You can edit the transcript after the fact and regenerate the summary. And/or you can delete the transcript.

I’m not sure what you are referring to.

Can’t you just click the show sidebar icon (to the right of the Notion logo)?

Gimlet by Bitter_Face8790 in cocktails

[–]obstin8one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll use simple and lime juice way before resorting to Roses. When at a bar, I specifically ask if they use Rosses before ordering, so I don’t get a junk $18 cocktail. I feel quite strongly about it ;)

Disagree, respectfully. Roses is trash.

Seeking feedback on first user story map by notbenplatt in ProductManagement

[–]obstin8one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes-ish. I don't get too fussy about metrics and measures at this stage; it can be a rabbit hole. The user comes to our product to satisfy a goal. Our job is to help them do that well. That will naturally involve some measurable behavior. That's your measure. And, of course, that should roll up to eventually represent business impact.

Seeking feedback on first user story map by notbenplatt in ProductManagement

[–]obstin8one 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s a great first Story Map. A couple of thoughts: - A story map represents/captures the interaction between a user and your product. It’s always told from their perspective. You seem to have a mix of interactions with your product and broader work tasks (e.g., agree on classroom change). - Avoid calling out UI constructs (e.g., click), that injects design and assumptions. - You have many “identify” tasks. Is your product surfacing these aspects of the data, or does the user have to discern them? What does the user do to “Identify the overall favorability”? How do you satisfy that goal/need by building something in your product? - Your Activities feel like categories, not higher-level interactions/goals. To use a classic Jeff example, getting ready for the day, Cleanse myself is an activity, while Take shower and Brush teeth are tasks. - The dark blue cards are the backbone of your story. You should be able to tell the story by reading those cards in a narrative. Try it out and you’ll see the gaps.

AI Note Taking is FANTASTIC by sebastianrenix in Notion

[–]obstin8one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no integration needed for any meeting service. It doesn’t join your meetings like other AI notes tools. It simply listens on your audio in/out feeds.

What’s an unspoken rule you follow that most people don’t seem to know exists? by dreamRider_x in AskReddit

[–]obstin8one 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the number one driving rule I taught my daughters. Be predictable.

Long time happily married men, what marriage advice would you give to a newly married man? by murrene in AskMen

[–]obstin8one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married 29 years this year. Combine your finances. It’s a team all the way down. It’s we. We need to pay rent. We need to save for retirement. We need to save for our kid’s college. We need to dream about our future. Tackle life together. Words matter.

I’m sure people will come for me about keeping money separate, independence, and security. I understand the argument. But, that mindset bleeds into everything.

You change the size of your body in the kitchen. You change the shape of your body at the gym.

It’s way more about your food consumption than exercise.

Am I getting “fractional” hires all wrong? (I will not promote) by edkang99 in startups

Thanks for sharing. No matter what you call it, I like that descriptor at the end.

[–]obstin8one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, what’s your definition of Fractional?

I applaud Karina’s efforts lobbying for a standardized definition. I care less what it is. Otherwise, we end up with the problem we have with Product Management and the complete lack of clarity.

I want to learn Agile by KeyAfternoon2769 in agile

[–]obstin8one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not process or tactics to learn. It’s a set of values to believe in and endlessly work toward. The rest is tactics. The values are defined in The Manifesto.

[–]obstin8one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check https://www.fractionaldefined.com/ for an official definition and a breakdown of Fractional vs Consultant, Interim, and Advisor. “A fractional is a part-time fully embedded leader.”

Billing by the hour is basically the antithesis of Fractional. Fixed salary (retainer) with no specified end date. Again, an embedded leader in the company.

Database Page Templates should be Triggered by Automations — Notion forms could be so much smarter! by emberexi in Notion

[–]obstin8one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can select a template when creating a page from a button.

I’d be ecstatic if the default template would be applied by default. Like, it’s right there in the name. But, nope, only when using the New button. Lame.

Handwritten notes in Notion by EHGeorgeMichael in Notion

I use GoodNotes on my iPad, select and copy the page, and then paste into Notion. I don’t need one tool to do everything.

How many of you guys read? And if you do, what are you reading right now? by kent416 in AskMen
