Great thread in response to @leeloowrites’ thoughtful posts about the need for change in the UX field.
I am so late to the party but this piece by @leeloowrites is very good and raises an important point: what if the imposter syndrome in our field is by design?

Since time immemorial, when a CEO asks a PM at Product Review, “what do you need to 10X users/revenue?”, “what will make you go faster?”, etc the PM steadfastly responds “We need [N] more engineers”. The Eng Mgr nods approvingly.
A story thread, with some hard truths to swallow:

Building a diverse and inclusive team requires
- looking outside your immediate network
- being flexible with secondary (and some primary) skills
- expanding your search outside your core geography
- look in places outside your comfort (go-to) zone

ALT Frances and Paul stand next to a wooden table. The table has several buttons aligned horizontally. They have faces painted on them that go from angry to happy from left to right. Frances seems curious. FRANCES: The dining table looks fine… but what’s with all the buttons? PAUL: We need more CTAs to hit Q4’s NPS KPIs!

How many times a day do you refer to groups of people as 'guys'?
Inclusive language matters: words have the power to include, or exclude. Why not #ChooseToChallenge gendered language by using these great inclusive alternatives (courtesy the GDS Women's Network)?

Collaboration Tax
Getting two or more product groups at a megacorp to collaborate on creating a seamless end user experience is the hardest problem in computer science.
(I am not joking)
Ibrahim Tannira retweeted
If you’re a Startup trying to compete with a Megacorp—the 800-pound Gorilla in the space—you need to understand the tax inherent to being a Gorilla
And then you need to make that tax work against the Gorilla—with your product's positioning & features

Here is a simple lesson I've learned from reading books on writing. Take a piece of your writing and control or command + F to find these words:
so
just
very
quite
really
pretty
surely
rather
in fact
actually
that said
of course
Delete them. You are now a better writer.

It’s 2019 and I just heard a speaker tell a design audience that “there’s research that shows you only need 5-8 users to find 85% of the problems in a design.”
I pine for the day when this myth finally dies.

Time for a meta-thread on the Product Management content I’ve posted over the past 6 months.
This one is long, but I hope it can serve as a useful & quick reference for PMs.
It has 4 sections:
1. The PM Role
2. PM Skills
3. Strategy
4. PM Leadership
Are you ready?
