Let's all agree: "Product Requirements Document" is a terrible name for that deliverable. The goal is to create a shared understand of the problem that the team is trying to solve. One company I was at called it an "initiation document". What do you think it should be called?

“Having the trio of product manager, design lead, and tech lead involved in discovery helps you leverage all three types of knowledge and expertise.” - @ttorres bit.ly/2RWk4Do #prodmgmt #ux
Here's a key question I use to help organizations start thinking differently about the shift from output to outcomes. Instead of asking "what are we going to build?" ask, "If we build the right thing, what will people (our users, customers, staff, et al) be doing differently?"
Start AND END every design project with watching people. And do it often in the middle.
1. One of my big memories from design school was when the prof (Dan Boyarski) told us to start our big project not by sketching or brainstorming. Instead he told us to leave the studio and GO WATCH PEOPLE. Watch ppl do whatever it was our design was supposed to make better.
Validating assumptions you have about what other people love... long after you've spent 9 figures designing, branding, building, scripting, creating, launching, advertising, and measuring.

Acknowledging that a failure is a failure is less demoralizing than pretending it's a success.
Bad bosses stifle your learning. Good bosses develop your skills. Great bosses develop your career. Bad bosses tell you what to do. Good bosses ask how you're doing. Great bosses ask how you want to make a difference. #SaturdayThoughts

1. The most uncomfortable part of good #prodmgmt for most ppl is talking to customers. It doesn’t matter if you’re a founder, a sr product manager, or an MBA student. This is very hard. And it’s not about corporate systems and policies. It’s the possibility of being wrong. /2
