Move your Product Management career forward

If a typical CPO feels their role is about trying to survive a couple of years i.e. long enough to help the business a little bit, what is causing that? Why is it so hard to endure as a product leader?

So if the documented “best practices” take too long or are too expensive, how do you approach different product situations? I want to share a few frameworks that I think can help, but there is no substitute for judgment here.

"How do I push back on requests from sales to build stuff to close deals?" I get this question often, and I'd like to share a summary of my standard response.

At Intercom, we start with the problem. But not every problem is created equal, and their solutions shouldn’t be either.

Frameworks will not fix all your problems. Used right, they should help you 1) better understand your context 2) create structure for problems 3) communicate ideas & solutions I often use these frameworks in my product work, sometimes without realizing it.
