Acklen Avenue’s Post

As the week wraps up, I find myself reflecting on the journey toward becoming a product manager. Every day presents new challenges and opportunities to learn, grow, and adapt. I explored agile methodologies and how they help in navigating the ever-changing landscape of product development. I delved into some case studies and realized that the most successful products are those that truly solve user problems and deliver exceptional value. One key takeaway from this week is that product management is not just about building products but about building the right products. As I continue on this path, I am excited to apply these insights and contribute to creating products that make a difference. Here’s to a productive and insightful week ahead! #ProductManagement #ContinuousLearning #Agile #UserCentricDesign #CareerGrowth

A big shoutout to Jem Jelly for leading an enlightening session on the intricacies of the Product Owner role and guiding us through invaluable insights on identifying patterns and cultivating a thriving ecosystem. One particularly enlightening concept we explored was the distinction between Output and Outcome—a pivotal understanding for driving real impact. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge and skills in agile product management, and I'm eager to apply what I've learned to drive meaningful outcomes for my team and stakeholders. Here's to continuous growth, learning, and making a positive impact in the world of product development! 🌟 #CSPO #Agile #ProductManagement #ContinuousLearning

Product owners can leverage the power of storytelling to transform their product visions and roadmaps into exciting journeys, gaining support from stakeholders, aligning teams, and ultimately attaining product success. Discover more in this article, written by Jim Schiel. #ProductOwner #Agile

Pretty simple yet valuable concept. When creating product artifacts a common tendency is to overly focus on OKR/KPI metrics and date-driven targets. Of course those are key components of product development and management. However, you won’t hit those targets if you operate in technical team silos and don’t effectively communicate your product vision, strategy, and roadmaps to gain buy-in and alignment from a wide array of business stakeholders across the organization. Incorporating user journeys and storytelling into that process can particularly help non-technical stakeholders understand the “why” behind everything you aim to deliver without necessarily understanding every little detail of the “how”. #productmanagement

As a product manager, you need to constantly communicate with your stakeholders to create a better product. Your most important stakeholders are the customers, so you need to listen to them and value their feedback. Their feedback is crucial for the success of any product. #productmanagement #productsuccess #customerfeedback #agile

I love seeing the tech world embrace storytelling. This has always been my passion. Stories are impactful. They paint a picture and build bridges. Engineers & Architects may not always speak the same "language" as a Functional User BUT... create a detailed narrative and both sides will understand the objectives & requirements of your project.

💡 Prioritize conversations over writing stories, if you wanna be agile! 🚀 Effective product owners and product managers know: less writing, more talking! 🗨️ Don't get caught up in endless user story drafts. Communication is key in agile development. 🌟 Let's foster clarity and collaboration through meaningful conversations with our teams. 🤝 Improve your product development process today! #agile #productowner #communication
