- had a breakthrough today re: trust
Do you have a friend who is perpetually late?
They aren't an evil person. They aren't a jerk. They are just *always* late, despite their best efforts?
They are not reliable...

- this is collab between developers and #ux
and product and design (different org)
and PM and developers (different org)
on REAL teams in the mess of product
It is all about adapting your approach to the work, trust, communication, and not applying the same process dogmatically https://t.co/P7ABd2Ftdx

- NS Framework & OKRs are complimentary
You have STABLE metrics (last 1-3y)
-North Star Metric
-North Star Inputs
-(potentially sub-inputs)
You have Bets w/
- Target NS Inputs
-"Bet Metrics" local to the Bet
OKRs can be
- NS (Sub-)Input movements
and/or
- Bet metric movements https://t.co/fpZebewdpG

- a lot of PMs focus on "validating" things when they talk to customers
remember definitional, descriptive, contextual, explanatory, exploratory, strategic, and generative questions... https://t.co/jIHSXtWFED

- early experiments combining mandate levels and 1-3s
the shapes are very interesting
opportunity / problem / solution / bet / whatever are all on a spectrum, are related, and have different shapes https://t.co/RTN3cs7gw2

- Product leadership is a simple as 1,2,3,4,5!
(my notes before going into a conversation with a product leader friend who heads up a large product org) https://t.co/I6cyxb4MoI

- One of the most prevalent anti-patterns I see in orgs is trying to impose a mono process. Treating all efforts the same way.
Here’s a great activity. Co-design a model for classifying bets. And then ask “how should we approach these differently” https://t.co/t3kwinDbLf

- A skill for any product manager is knowing what type of product puzzle you are dealing with (or that you don't know, which is equally important)
A: quick wins, then levels off
B: time in / benefits out
C: lots of work in, then benefits
D: slow at first, then rapid increase https://t.co/bgLp2Eog2g

- Here is a mashup up @joshuajames's four value categories (see source) using another dimension for leverage.
The idea that you can categorize *anything* into one of these 12 buckets is kind of fun. https://t.co/57S5ZIsyT9
