As a product leader, I’m a huge proponent of the idea of team alchemy. We need all kinds of people. We need all kinds of product managers to form a successful whole. I train and coach my teams to operate as a collective, because no one is good at everything. So you can see why I’m on the lookout for people who are a Visionary PM or a Builder PM. I also believe in the wonderful complexity of the individual. People should be multi-faceted. Since we value all four skills, we need to learn all four skills, and we need to employ and use all four skills. Then, and only then, will we truly know which skillset is our strongest, or which to wield and when. I have zero interest in hammers, because to a hammer, everything is a nail.

✨ 5x types of product vision ✨ Product visions are hugely effective at two things: 1. 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - making it clear what you're building 2. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - making everyone care about what you're building But how do you actually do that? "Product vision" is one of the most ambiguous terms in product management... Right up there with "roadmap" and "product strategy" 😜 We've found 5x ways people use the term: 1. 𝗔 𝟭-𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 This crisply sums up the future you want to build ✅ Memorable and stable 🚨 Very ambiguous and easily confused with a mission statement. 2. 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 3-4 bullet points describing key benefits and features you want to offer ✅ Fast to create and clear what the customer benefits are 🚨 Hard to envisage what we're talking about 3. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 Roman Pichler's famous business canvas ✅ Triangulates on vision from both customer and business perspective 🚨 Not at all inspiring 4. 𝗣𝗥 / 𝗙𝗔𝗤𝘀 Amazon's thorough process for drafting a press release and FAQs up front ✅ Holistic appraisal of the merit of a new idea 🚨 Significant effort to do well, still not visual 5. 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 Vision in a prototype. A series of mockups, often with a storyboard narrative ✅ Vivid and inspiring illustration of what you're building 🚨 Can be lots of work to create We're a big fan of vision types, but which one is right for you? What are the right trade offs for you to make? Full article here: https://lnkd.in/drGGcC4x

⛔ Product Leaders are NOT problem solvers. ✅ They ask questions to identify the right problem to solve. ✅ They bring the right people together who can solve it. What is your take on this topic? Let me know in the comments👇
