Great first video! The video would be clearer if you include some images or examples of the various road maps in the video. Its a bit hard to imagine the road maps
I also came over to this channel after consuming your content on LinkedIn to find more in-depth content from you. I enjoyed learning more about your approach to road mapping - particularly the advanced tips and tricks at the end! It is your point on long-term planning to avoid PMs racing for the next thing that hit the mark for me. I've been working in startups and early-stage most of my career and it's often a problem I experienced with changing customer needs before product-market fit is reached. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on how your approach would be adapted to those situations. Another topic I'd be eager to learn more about is how to approach this when the medium/long-term strategy/vision from your leaders isn't clearly defined or keeps changing - something I've also experienced that made it challenging. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Super appreciate it Patrice! "When the medium/long-term strategy/vision from your leaders isn't clearly defined or keeps changing" 1. Define it on your own and suggest one for them 2. Try to stick to the timeless user needs & business problems so you can adjust to the latest vision with relatively less thrash "in startups and early-stage most of my career and it's often a problem I experienced with changing customer needs before product-market fit is reached" 1. Throw out normal PM and focus on getting PMF 2. Wear the CEO hat and talk to user needs, make sure it drives a business need, and finding timeless customer job to be dones that you can deliver on 10x better Hope that helps!
Thank you for such a detailed reply! Timeless user needs and proactively suggesting strategies in that scenario are definitely good ways to solve this. Keep it up - loving the content.
This video is the perfect example of why I think most product managers are full of b.s. No executable takeaways but a whole lot of "Consulting-esque Powerpoint" jargon.

Thanks for sharing this! Can you please change your background, it’s very distracting.
Gotcha

Yikes
What a terrible take. You sound very junior. You probably are!
Came over to this channel after reading your content on LinkedIn. You have a lot of great insights. Hope you keep making these kinds of videos!
Appreciate that! Will try to find the time.
