I wrote a bit about the importance of “Visibility of System Status” in #productmanagement. https://elezea.com/2025/03/ack-think-act-building-trust-as-a-product-manager/
A Guide to AI Prototyping for Product Designers, by @uxdesigncc:
The Effort Paradox in AI Design, by @savage@x.com (@uxdesigncc):
Workplace #productmanagement observation: "technical debt" can often be used as a euphemism for "debt from not having analysed and specified something properly in the first place". The "tech" in tech debt makes it sound like people made conscious rational tradeoffs of quality in how they built it... whereas perhaps instead, the problem was that the "it" the team was building was not the correct / complete thing that was needed by the customer in the first place.
So here’s a take. The 30+ year old usability heuristics (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ten-usability-heuristics/) remain true to this day, but it’s not just relevant to UI/UX.
“Visibility of System Status” is probably the most important skill in #productmanagement. Acknowledge comments/questions asap; respond with ultimate clarity in a reasonable timeframe that balances the need for thoughtfulness; follow through on any commitments with regular updates. Do that, and more than half the battle is won.

This week's newsletter is inspired by the first female winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for debunking the ecofascist "tragedy of the commons" theory.
Elinor Ostrom's understanding of the social system that manages a common resource is critical for making trade-offs in our own work, which can build - rather than burn - trust.

Everything is SEO now. The perverse incentives created by software eating the world turn everything we see into shit: what rises through the mire is optimized for the algorithm rather than for human interest and enrichment.
In this issue of Product Picnic, I look at some ways of pushing back. #UX #UXDesign #ProductManagement

@lavxnews did you just rephrase the original article using AI? I prefer to read the original version, which is not driving traffic to your website though. It’s also worth mentioning the author: #MartyCagan.

I often explain my work as "helping product teams do product management better." In this field, there's often an intuitive sense of "we're doing things wrong", but "good" or "right" are rarely well-defined.
That's what Product Conversations is digging into on Friday! Good Product Management with my friends @skinnylatte, @PamelaSchure, Rosemary King and Emily Reid.
Join us Friday Feb 21, noon EST, live in the comments or any time after.

Hoping to get #fedihired - or at least make some connections, socially or professionally.
I've been working in tech for quite a while most recently in leadership of a program management org at a healthcare tech company in the US, though I started my career as a software engineer.
I'd love to work in product operations, help teams improve and customize their processes, help organize complex cross team or cross department projects. I'm great at leading teams or programs, translating between engineers and product and leadership. I build teams and processes that fit the long term business needs while minimizing overhead, not just following the latest framework.
I'm looking to move to #deutschland, specifically #berlin, been planning it for a few years but could use some help getting referrals or just connecting on LinkedIn in case we end up in the same circles.
Working on learning German (~A2) but will probably need an English speaking first role. Would love to chat with folks in the area, whether over a virtual coffee/lunch (my treat), or just connect. Even if your company isn't currently hiring and or you just want to connect socially, feel free to send a DM my way.
You ever wonder how the people responsible for the software you use haven't been fired a dozen times over? Measureship is to blame. By carefully picking their metrics, managers can make the biggest, stinkiest turd look like a rose on C-suite dashboards.

Today we celebrate the #ilovefreesoftwareday!
I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who contributes to #FOSS projects and thereby increases various levels of freedom, including the #digitalsovereignty.
Since I have many product leaders in my bubble, I would like to encourage you to reflect on these two questions:
- How can you support the FOSS projects you use?
- Does your next product need to be closed sourced or can you release it as a FOSS?
I’ve been thinking about what a Product Manager does. I was reviewing frameworks like CIRCLES, but felt like that was incomplete/off and (more to the point) doesn’t show *relationships* between different activities. I whipped this up (in preparation for a job interview).
Thoughts?
Pink stuff = what exists
Blue = what we (mostly) control
Purple = where those things overlap
(Detailed description in the alt text)
Lastly, product management happens whether you have someone who specializes in that role or not. The best products happen when many people in different roles work together to find good balance points.
