Looking Forward…
> What trends do you see in product management? positive trends? any negative trends?
We are moving towards an environment with faster cycles and greater experimentation. I’m witnessing firsthand, how this leads to significantly better results. That is also adding a lot of rigor to product development and significantly increasing our chances in making a difference with all the time and energy we invest.
I’m also seeing greater collaboration and sharing of best practices (we’ve opensourced our blueprint for making your own usability lab).
> How do you see product management evolving over the next 5 years?
I see the role evolving to be the person who orchestrates effective experiments while maintaining a cohesive user narrative. .
