As a Product Manager, systems and processes are there to help you deliver value to your business and customers. However, the same systems and processes can sometimes become counterproductive if they don't adapt to changes in the business landscape. When this happens, prioritize doing what is right for your business and customers over strictly following outdated systems.

Before launching any product, testing business viability is crucial. It helps identify potential challenges, market demand, and financial feasibility. By conducting thorough tests, you can avoid costly mistakes and ensure that your business idea aligns with customer needs. It’s about minimizing risks while maximizing potential for success. Always validate before you build. Stay in the loop and elevate your insights—follow Growjunction 🌿 for exclusive content! Take your product management skills to the next level!

🤾♂️Do Your Product and IT Roadmaps Play Nice Together? Common Scenario: 1️⃣ The Product Management Organization builds out a beautiful product strategy that aligns to corporate strategy based on Voice of Customer and backed by qualitative and quantitative data. ⬇ 2️⃣ The IT Organization builds out a roadmap that supports a cost-cutting directive, with some investment in the technology trend du jour. ⬇ 💰 The two organizations step up to the budgeting table with silo’d, incongruent plans, no one gets what they want and need and OKR’s/KPI’s aren’t achieved. 😕 🌟 Instead, Start With Strategy 🌟 🎂 Think about it as a layer cake: Layer 1: Strategic Objectives Layer 2: Product Strategy and Roadmap ❓ How and where will our products and customer-facing systems support strategy? ❓How does this translate into new products or new features? Layer 3: IT Enablers ❓What tools and technologies will help us get there faster or make us more efficient in delivering these outcomes? Layer 4: Foundational IT Infrastructure ❓What infrastructure projects should we focus on to scale and harden the platform to position us for growth and minimize risk? #productstrategy #roadmap #productroadmap #ITstrategy #technology #enterpriseplanning #productmanagement #technologyroadmap
