I think we all know that scaling a product is simple. You create a roadmap of features and characteristics based on customer surveys, you get buy-in from the team who then develops them, brings them to market, and then you get feedback from customers to repeat the process while a well-coordinated marketing campaign blows up your exposure.

I feel like I had one other thing to add to that but I’m forgetting…oh yeah, the part where your Lead Dev quits, the intern deletes all of your customer data, the updates are all running behind schedule, your budget is getting cut, someone just invented AI, and—oh, would you look at that, leadership just decided to scrap the update and head in a completely different direction.

The Reality Of Product Management

This is a complicated role in a complicated industry in a complicated time. Everyone expects rapid product delivery despite an expanding mountain of technical debt. Where we’re given all of the responsibility and none of the authority. We end up spending half our time prioritizing and then the other half re-prioritizing. And all the while, we stare down imposter syndrome, asking ourselves if we’re even fit for our role (spoiler alert, you got this).
