Product Collective - Collaborating with Product Managers
How to collaborate well with othersIt’s often said that product development is a team sport. How you work with people inside and outside of your product team can have a big impact on your product's success. So, if you think product management would be so much easier if it weren’t for the people, here are some tips for working with folks inside and outside of your product team. Meanwhile, in product news, we see two companies taking different approaches to compete with rivals, a new law restricting the use of social media, and signs that HVAC is where it’s at. Five reasons behind difficult product and engineering team collaboration. Over the years, Mauro Bagnato has invested considerable time and effort in building a strong partnership with product peers. While it hasn’t always been easy, he’s learned a couple of lessons along the way. Mauro shares the top five issues that can undermine collaboration between product and engineering teams, hoping that by recognizing them, it can be easier to find effective solutions. Bridging the gap between product management & product design. Product designers and product managers are critical partners in building and improving the product. However, it can be hard for product managers to figure out how the relationship is going with product designers and what they can do to improve it. Given how critical the product design and product management relationship is to the success of the product, it is important to ensure product managers have a strong and healthy relationship with their designer. Tara Wellington and Bruno Bergher share how to identify if there is an issue in the product management and product design relationship and four ways to strengthen that relationship.

In this talk from INDUSTRY Virtual in 2020, Tami Reiss describes how to use good product management practices when thinking about managing your employees.

Collaborating on and off the court As I sit in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, I can't help but marvel at the incredible energy that has taken over the city. The Women's NCAA Final Four is in town, and the excitement is palpable. Fans from Iowa, North Carolina State, South Carolina, and UConn have flocked here to support their teams, and the city has embraced them with open arms. It's a beautiful thing to see people from all walks of life coming together to celebrate the power of sports and the incredible talent of these young women. Caitlin Clark and her Iowa Hawkeyes have been particularly impressive (and I’m pumped that my daughter will get to see her play live tonight!) As I watch these teams compete, I can't help but think about the parallels between basketball and product management. Building a great product, like a great basketball team, requires collaboration, communication, and a shared vision. Each player on the court has a specific role to play, just like each member of a product team has their area of expertise. But magic happens only when everyone works together towards a common goal. Watching these teams play is a reminder that greatness is rarely achieved alone. It results from countless hours of practice, preparation, and partnership. It's about trust, respect, and a willingness to put the team's success above individual glory. So, as you go about your work to finish out this week, take a moment to reflect on the power of collaboration. Whether you're working on a new feature, launching a new product, or just trying to solve a tricky problem, remember that you're part of a team. When everyone is working together towards a shared vision, there's no limit to what you can achieve.
