A template that you can copy to run an effective (and fun) pre-mortem with your team for your upcoming launch (created via a collab with @coda_hq) https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1380322025688817664
The hardest part of product creativity is not the ideation. It is the negotiation necessary to get the folks who are fixated on logic & math to appreciate the value of product creativity. https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1381412804331073540
Useful to understand this key difference between building products at a Megacorp vs. at a Startup https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1379279884984328195
Most people will at some point get feedback that they need to be “less tactical and more strategic”. More often than not, the feedback giver offers no guidance on how you can *actually* do that. This tweet provides some pointers: https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1378757863137370117
I find that very few product teams are at high maturity w.r.t. their strategic rigor & cohesion https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1383804314141876236
A short primer on B2B strategy: https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1384008853004578822
Consumer product mgmt is very difficult https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1388173045840314369

A list of curated lists, useful for CTOs, eng managers, staff engineers, product managers, designers, general managers, etc. https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1378334295962443783
When looking for an internal role at your company, consider these factors: https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1379634120834215938
“Scope hoarding” in a fast-growth company is counter-productive for the company and for the hoarder https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1380543026414510081
B2B products often die because of these things, not because of direct competitors https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1379943531221897220
Using logic to get to greater wisdom https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1380996682310053888
Useful idea: a Work Stress Journal https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1386867103173541891

5 types of products (there is no “one right type”): https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1382037879942049793
Common & costly beliefs (they apply to joining companies, and to buying the right stocks & holding them): https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1383172804888043520
Last one for this recap:

You are not really feature complete if you haven’t instrumented the product for usage metrics https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1387079786107863048
I thought this was interesting:
Twitter Analytics tells me that I wrote a total of 237 tweets & replies in Apr 2021. That’s the least number of tweets in any single month over the past 12 months.

LMK if the volume of tweets in April *felt* just right, too high, or too low.
If you've reviewed most of this content, would you kindly take a survey? (just 1 required question & 2 optional)

It would help me immensely to get your feedback.
