How to Use Your Product Roadmap as a Communication ToolJanna Bastow
Find out how making this one small change at your company can completely shift the way you communicate with your customers for the better.
In this webinar, ProdPad co-founder Janna Bastow will talk about how companies have successfully gone public with their product roadmaps - and share exactly what steps you’ll need to take to launch yours.
You’ll see two dramatic changes when you open the door to your product roadmap to your customers:
- Your customers will know your product vision and your priorities as a company
- Your support team will be able to confidently take customer feedback and answer questions about feature requests.
Even among companies that claim to be committed to transparency, product roadmaps have generally been shrouded in secrecy - the result of a fear of backing out on commitments or missing release dates.
The reality is that companies that share their roadmaps are able to set practical expectations with their customers, communicate priorities and the future of their products clearly and retain their strongest customers.

This document discusses creativity and innovation. It defines creativity as bringing new ideas into reality, while innovation is implementing ideas. Creativity fuels innovation. Myths that creativity requires special talents and that criticism helps ideas are busted - creativity is a skill learned through practice, and ideas need nurturing not criticism. Three components of creativity are listed as expertise, motivation, and creative thinking skills. Tools for defining problems include the Kipling method of questions and challenging assumptions. Organizations can be creative through encouraging challenges, freedom, diverse groups, clear goals, and rewards for risk-taking ideas. The process of innovation involves generating many ideas, screening them, testing feasibility, and implementing. Creativity and innovation are important for progress, competit
The document discusses myths and solutions around business innovation. Some key myths addressed include that innovation just happens naturally, effective processes are not important, and experts are needed to drive innovation. The document argues instead that innovation must be intentionally made to happen, ineffective processes can hinder it, and diverse thinkers outside the norm are valuable. It provides solutions like rewarding failures, focusing on customer needs, opening dialogue, and ensuring the right portfolio of projects by deciding what not to pursue.
The document discusses strategies for improving innovation and creative thinking in organizations. It provides 10 tips for encouraging innovative thinking such as getting rid of mental locks, using both sides of the brain, learning and applying creative thinking techniques, moving outside one's area of expertise, avoiding classic innovation traps, allowing failures, creating process maps, getting out of one's own way, and creating an environment that supports innovation. The document emphasizes that fostering innovation is important for businesses to develop new products/services, find solutions to problems, and stay competitive. Regularly challenging assumptions and traditional ways of thinking can help stimulate innovative ideas.
Design thinking is a process that focuses on empathy, collaboration, and experimentation to solve problems in a human-centered way. It begins with deep understanding of users' needs through observation and engagement to gain insights. Teams then work together to synthesize learnings and define the key issues to address. The process is iterative, testing ideas and getting feedback to develop better solutions. Design thinking provides optimism that positive change is possible through a creative approach.
Creativity can be taught and developed through practical techniques. Special techniques can generate new ideas and thoughts in a deliberate way rather than leaving creativity to chance. The document provides tips for discovering creativity at work, including using tools like mind mapping and Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats technique. It emphasizes preparing the right environment for creativity, letting ideas flow freely without criticism, using techniques like reversal to generate radical ideas, and recommending books to help develop creativity skills.
Creativity is described as bringing something new into existence that is both novel and valuable. It requires imagination and putting ideas into action, not just having ideas. Developing creativity skills is important for workplaces as it fosters innovation, better teamwork and problem solving, and attracting and retaining employees. Some techniques to enhance creativity include brainstorming, mind mapping, lateral thinking, and taking breaks from problems to allow the subconscious mind to work on solutions. Managers can support creativity by encouraging diverse perspectives on teams and rewarding novel ideas.

The document provides advice on developing disciplines for independent publishing by discussing 7 key disciplines: 1) Practicing time on task with techniques like nightly to-do lists and 25 minute work blocks, 2) Mastering the craft of writing through daily practice and learning story structure, 3) Developing creativity by tricking the brain with techniques like asking "what if" questions, 4) Discovering authentic voice by writing for oneself and using one's own words, 5) Engaging community by getting and giving feedback, 6) Embracing marketing as an integral part of publishing through targeted repetition of messages, and 7) Exploiting available technologies as tools to publish and connect with readers.
Design thinking is a human-centered approach to problem solving that involves discovery, interpretation, ideation, experimentation, and evaluation. The design thinking process begins with discovery to gain an understanding of user needs through research and inspiration gathering. Insights from discovery are then interpreted to identify opportunities and frame ideas during the ideation phase. Ideas are made tangible through experimentation with prototypes to gather feedback, and the evaluation process involves planning next steps and integrating learnings to evolve the concept over time.
This document summarizes two TED talks on creative thinking. The first talk discusses a study which found that taking a walk before engaging in a creativity test led to more ideas. The second talk discusses habits of original thinkers, finding that they are quick to start projects but slow to finish, manage idea doubts rather than self doubts, and try many ideas through failure. The document also provides context on the writer's challenge to share daily lessons on life skills from a previous challenge.
The document discusses various topics related to creativity including:
1) Definitions of creativity and how it can solve problems.
2) The creative process involves preparation, concentration, incubation, illumination, verification and production.
3) Creativity can be developed through belief, discipline, consciousness, and following ideas even if they seem unconventional.
4) Tiny actions like writing down ideas and paying attention to details can support creativity.
In February I spent one week with 25 students from different disciplines at European institute of Design in Rome, (IED Rome University). Every year the university holds the event called IED Factory where a cross-pollination of skills and backgrounds mingle to boost creativity, diversity and collaboration. Twelve workshops take place and the students are bound to deliver a final project after an intense week of activities. I designed the workshop to introduce the Design Thinking approach and to instill creative confidence. Visual Communication, Fashion Designers, Fashion Stylist, Photography, Animation, Jewellery Design are the different areas where the participants came from.
The following are my findings.
What’s the problem? Create trust and serendipity.
At the outset my approach was to build up the atmosphere of one spine of 25 designers. In the first two sessions I tried to instill the design thinking skill set: observations, empathy, trust and collaboration. Then I set up 5 teams and showed them three challenges in Sustainability, Transport and Health & Food.
A culture of innovation.
As soon as the participants begun to perceive the sense of purpose, the edge of ‘Familiar vs Unfamiliar’ using storytelling, the Design Thinking methodology is a toolkit that implies a culture of risk, trust and failure. It creates scenarios of use, provokes and inspires alternatives.
The projects…? No, it’s the path, it's the discovery.
People are creative. Yes, they are indeed. In few days they went through ‘discover, ideation and prototype’ phases delivering an app and website for ‘Health & Food’, two ‘Educational rubbish bin’ for Sustainability, a thematic bus. Well, they did not find any investors. They adopted the mindset to show themselves things to explore, test and learn. The video below shows an example.
From the idea of design object to think instead designing behaviours.
First I needed to understand why I was going to do the workshop and what was the gap I could support as facilitator. The plan was to create contents, activities and my approach based on a design for knowledge, skills and motivation. So I focused on those scenarios rather than a design for habits, communication and environment.
Designers design their way through the problem
Once the participants start learning by doing, they also trust the process and forge their own way to go through. Eventually the thorny issues such as get people talking in the streets, reframe questions and create a storyboard helped them to see new opportunities. Then they transformed data into actionable ideas. However, as facilitator you are a designer as well. Therefore you also design your way through the problem with them.
Lesson Learnt
By focusing on creating a challenging context you might be able to offset the pressure to provide all the interactions; let the learners interact with each other. In terms of content, it is less than you think it is.
To thrive in today’s dynamic and unpredictable business environment we need novel ways of doing things, whatever the economic climate. So in an age when traditional skills can be outsourced or automated, creative thinking skills are highly sought after.
We train and develop employees at all levels to think creatively and solve problems. We do this by helping them understand their creative strengths and take new approaches to business issues. Often this involves a significant degree of change – unlearning existing ways of working to adopt a more flexible, curious approach.
To ensure these new skills and behaviours are fully utilised and recognised, we also help organisations integrate innovation-friendly working practices into corporate HR policy. This includes how to promote and reward creative thinking, how to integrate this into appraisals and performance reviews, and how to recruit for innovation.
This document discusses five skills that can be trained to improve innovation: associating, questioning, observing, experimenting, and networking. Associating involves connecting ideas from different fields. Questioning means asking questions to understand problems in new ways. Observing is carefully watching the world to gain new insights. Experimenting is constantly learning through new experiences. Networking involves meeting people with different perspectives to expand knowledge. The document provides tips for practicing each skill, and asserts that innovators actively seek to change existing approaches through smart risks.

This document discusses how social media is increasingly being used in hiring and recruiting. 93% of employers survey said they look at candidates' social profiles. Recruiters have found social media profiles to contain illegal activities, discriminatory comments, obscenities, badmouthing past employers, and other red flags. Meanwhile, 70% of recruiters have hired an applicant based on their social presence. Some recruiters have selected candidates based on their creative social media presence that got their profile noticed. Gamification strategies like intern contests and challenges aligned with core competencies are being used to engage and motivate applicants.
Because Writing is Hard: 12 Tips for Better Copy, FasterSidneyeve Matrix
The document appears to be a collection of tips for writing better and faster but it is difficult to understand because most of the text is garbled. It discusses the importance of doing research before writing, creating an outline, focusing on the reader, writing concisely, and allowing a first draft to be imperfect. However, much of the document is unintelligible so its overall meaning cannot be determined.

Parabolic antenna alignment system with Real-Time Angle Position FeedbackStevenPatrick17
Introduction
Parabolic antennas are a crucial component in many communication systems, including satellite communications, radio telescopes, and television broadcasting. Ensuring these antennas are properly aligned is vital for optimal performance and signal strength. A parabolic antenna alignment system, equipped with real-time angle position feedback and fault tracking, is designed to address this need. This document delves into the components, design, and implementation of such a system, highlighting its significance and applications.
Importance of Parabolic Antenna Alignment
The alignment of a parabolic antenna directly affects its performance. Even minor misalignments can lead to significant signal loss, which can degrade the quality of the received signal or cause communication failures. Proper alignment ensures that the antenna's focal point is accurately directed toward the signal source, maximizing the antenna's gain and efficiency. This precision is especially crucial in applications like satellite communications, where the antenna must track geostationary satellites with high accuracy.
Components of a Parabolic Antenna Alignment System
A parabolic antenna alignment system typically includes the following components:
Parabolic Dish: The primary reflector that collects and focuses incoming signals.
Feedhorn and Low Noise Block (LNB): Positioned at the dish's focal point to receive signals.
Stepper or Servo Motors: Adjust the azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) angles of the antenna.
Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi): Processes sensor data and controls the motors.
Potentiometers: Provide feedback on the antenna's current angle positions.
Fault Detection Sensors: Monitor for potential faults such as cable discontinuities or LNB failures.
Control Software: Runs on the microcontroller, handling real-time processing and decision-making.
Real-Time Angle Position Feedback
Real-time feedback on the antenna's angle position is essential for maintaining precise alignment. This feedback is typically provided by potentiometers or rotary encoders, which continuously monitor the azimuth and elevation angles. The microcontroller reads this data and adjusts the motors accordingly to keep the antenna aligned with the signal source.
Fault Tracking in Antenna Alignment Systems
Fault tracking is vital for the reliability and performance of the antenna system. Common faults include cable discontinuities, LNB malfunctions, and motor failures. Sensors integrated into the system can detect these faults and either notify the user or initiate corrective actions automatically.
Design and Implementation
1. Parabolic Dish and Feedhorn
The parabolic dish is designed to reflect incoming signals to a focal point where the feedhorn and LNB are located. The dish's size and shape depend on the specific application and frequency range.
2. Motors and Position Control
Stepper motors or servo motors are used to control the azimuth and elevation of

In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.
