product velocity is big reason fintechs win.
2 examples announced today
@mercury w/ bill pay & Invoicing
@Wealthfront w/ bond ladders.
Mercury's bill pay and invoicing means mercury provides greater convenience than ever.
Wealthfront's bond ladders result in 25-50bps higher yield on cash for clients by automating something (in a tax efficient mannger) that RIAs charged much more to do manually.
the features are not blockbusters, but product velocity is leaving incumbents farther and farther behind.

If the value of product managers diminishes in the next decade, the biggest reason for it will be that over the past decade many (most?) PM interview processes stopped testing PM candidates for creativity and started rewarding them for regurgitating frameworks.

Again, hierarchy is unavoidable and flatter isn't always better:
Study of 6,234 game start-ups. Evidence a flatter hierarchy can improve improve ideation and creativity, but also fuels weak execution and commercial failure due to power struggles and "aimless idea explorations"

As a PM leader, editing is probably your most important new job
You will be constantly editing
- new feature proposals
- key metrics
- goals/OKRs
- mocks
- milestones for P0 projects
- hard tradeoffs
- pre-launch product quality
So pay attention to getting very good at editing.
