@simplybastow.com do you have any suggestions for teams that are going 0-to-1 for an enterprise product? Enterprise sales cycles need commitment to features. If the team works in a Now-Next-Later framework, it seems like you can't start the sales cycle until you have MVP. Am I wrong?
Traditional roadmaps are long gone. However, @simplybastow.com's Now, Next, Later model makes a lot of sense. You can get away with 1Q stuff in small companies. Larger companies require much more planning and need a way for departments and organizations to align. A roadmap makes this easier.
On this thought train, does anyone have any good Product Management Books they've recently read and recommend? We know the staples but we're always keen to learn more and support our product peeps. So, any new recommendations? 🙏💬👇
@landiii.bsky.social · 2y agoHi! 💕 I mostly talk about product management, crypto, startups, autism, long covid, technology. Please recommend some folks I could follow 🙏
Letting go is hard, but it’s necessary. In fact, feature or product removal is often the smartest decision a Product Manager can make to improve focus and free up resources for what really matters. Join Stephanie Musat and @simplybastow.com to learn more in our upcoming webinar. hubs.ly/Q02Zm91V0

Oh hey new followers 👋 I might get around to doing product rants here but right now all I have energy for is cat content.
Anyone spotted any Black Friday deals on new boilers? Ours just gave up the ghost 🥶
Saw Ben Folds in concert last night, yeahhhh. Then raided the merch stand for a neat new t-shirt and the last vinyl on offer 😁
I'm so happy that we, like... *have* Super Mario. Like, that it exists in the form its in right now at all. I can't imagine someone pitching, from scratch, a jovial all-ages game about two middle-aged plumbers jumping around a mushroom-themed fairy tale world to a modern game/animation studio.
@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com your inspiration at work here, my daughter & her bestie ready for some trick or treating!
Science fact: due to a rare genetic mutation cats always generate a small bubble of weekend that completely envelops them. There was some research into making the bubbles human-sized. But it included making the cats human-sized, which turned out to be inadvisable. 🧪
Currently on the ferry to Isle of Wight, remembering the time I organised the tickets for our team offsite here, but I accidentally bought my co-founder's ticket for the right time but in the wrong direction 😂 Sorry @simoncast.bsky.social
Remembering the time my bike was stolen as a kid, and then a friend spotting it (a purple and silver wonder of the 90s) being ridden by our school janitor, and me having to awkwardly confront him about why he had my stolen bike 🥲
its cool that planets have moons. they need little buddies to hang out with just like us
