Product Management is one of the least discussed topics in Agile conferences and meetups, whereas cutting across the various domains the industry acknowledges Product Management as the biggest area in this new world of disruptions. So I am trying to design Rubrics for various mental models of Product Management

3. In today’s marketplace, the smartest companies
aren’t those that necessarily out-produce the
competition. Instead, it’s the organizations that
outthink them.
Harvard Business Review Nov 2015

4. DISCLAIMER :
When I use the examples of existing products,
services or companies I don’t mean to do any
promotion for them nor do I want to demean
them or do negative publicity.

19. BACKWARD PLANNING
4 3 2 1
We have looked at the entire
potential customer base and
the financial and technical
viability to delight them
We have to still work out a few
collaborations with partners to
deliver the needs of the entire
potential base of customers
We have only a limited
understanding of the needs of
a large base of customers.
The cost of technology
prohibits us to think too far
ahead - let us only try to start
with a small segment of the
customers.
Thinking Backwards
