How to Build a Product Roadmap by Walmart Senior Product ManagerProduct School
It all starts with a product roadmap! Your roadmap should tell the story of how you’re going to get to your ultimate vision. Getting priority, alignment, and balancing short term product iterations with long term strategic disruption is all part of the fun.
Hudson talked about the road mapping process, how you can balance short term and long term product/business goals, and how various initiatives on a road map get prioritized.
Product Sense (also called Product Intuition or Product Judgement) is the ability to understand what makes a product great. In other words, product sense is very important skill to all product managers. While the name sounds like you’re either born with it or you’re not, Product Sense is just a skill, and like any skill it can get better with practice. I will share my framework and learnings that has helped in improving my product sense in last two years.
Main takeaways:
- Framework of learning and improving your product sense
- Learn how to do your skill gap analysis and ideas to level up
- How to build it as a muscle and create successful products

Practical Product Management for new Product ManagersAmarpreet Kalkat
This presentation provides tips and tools for a professional who is new to Product Management function (in software).
It does not cover the full lifecycle of a product and primarily focuses on the product development/product building phase. As such, it is more usable for professionals working on existing products than for those in the process of building new products from scratch.
The Art of Product Management by 23andMe Senior Product ManagerProduct School
Product management is a fascinating and broad area that encompasses vision, strategy, design and execution. This presentation provided an overview of various aspects of product management from understanding the market, the competition, the user, defining the MVP, designing and building the product leading up to successful launch.
Venkatesh Balan, Senior Product Manager at 23andMe, talked about how after the launch, the role of the Product Manager continues in evolving the product, monetizing, growing the users and revenue. Not to mention, the Product Manager also works with various cross-functional teams while using influence, inspiration and soft skills.
(Last change, July 2: Removed as beyond most teams' scope Eyetracking Study, Clickstream Analysis, Usability Benchmarking; Added Live-Data Prototypes, Demand Validation Test, Wizard of Oz Tests)
For our teams tasked with building products and features for The New York Times, we face a common challenge with many: how do we figure out what’s worth spending our time on?
The answer seems straightforward: test your ideas with real customers, leveraging the expertise of your product, UX, and engineering talent. Figure out the smallest test that you can come up with to test a specific hypothesis, gather data and insights, and keep iterating on it until you know whether the problem is real and your solution will prove valuable, usable, and feasible.
As part of our efforts to adopt such a data-driven, experimental approach to product development, we recently kicked off a product discovery pilot program. Small, cross-functional teams were paired with coaches and facilitators over a six week period to demonstrate how product discovery and Lean Startup techniques could work for real-world customer opportunities at The New York Times.
One of the first things that we learned about the process from our participants was that they wanted a "toolkit" - something to help them figure out what they should be doing, asking or making to get as quickly as possible towards the validated learning, prototypes and user tests that would have the most impact.
To help the facilitate the learning process for our dual-track Agile teams, the Product Architecture team here at The Times (Christine Yom, Jim Lamiell, Josh Turk, Priya Ollapally, and Al Ming) built a "Product Discovery Activity Guide" that rolled up activities, exercises, and testing techniques from all our favorite thought leaders.
This included brainstorming exercises from Gamestorming and Innovation Games, testing techniques from traditional user research, and rapid test-and-learn tactics from Google Ventures, Eric Ries (The Lean Startup), Jeff Gothelf (Lean UX), Steve Blank (Customer Development) and our spirit guide, Marty Cagan (Inspired), among others.
Our goal was to make it a tool not just for learning how to get started, but to be a living document for teams to share knowledge about the process itself. What techniques worked and didn't work? What tactics did they learn elsewhere that might be worth sharing with the rest of the company?
We hope you find it useful, and whether you’d like to share with us what you’re doing with it, or you have suggestions (big or small) to improve it for future product generations, please let us know! (nyt.tech.productarchitecture@nytimes.com)

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.
In this talk, I cover the product mindset that great product managers have and keep expanding. However, you don't need to be a product manager to develop a product mindset!
Presenter: Christian Bonilla
Product managers overwhelmingly reported to use that not having time for strategy or proper market validation as their #1 problem. As product managers it’s our job to make sure we're building the right product, but many (possibly a majority) of us don’t think we’re doing that. We'll discuss the root causes of the problem and how PMs can enforce market validation in their organizations when prioritizing new features and products in the roadmap.
Christian is the founder of UserMuse, a market research service for product managers and marketers that launched in March 2017. Before founding UserMuse, he was the Director of SaaS Product Management at Resonate, a consumer intelligence and audience measurement firm. He writes regularly for Mind the Product, Fast Company and other publications and is an unabashed Quora addict.
Despite $ billions spent understanding the market, product managers in B2B software don't know what to build most of the time. Here's how you can do better as a product manager and leader.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
