We're listening to each and every painful, cringeworthy word from Jamie Dimon's recent rant about remote work. Join Enterprise Business Agility Coach Om Patel and Product Manager Brian Orlando as they explore the tension between command-and-control management and outcome-based leadership.

Should innovation be outsourced to specialized teams, or integrated into your existing product teams? That's what Enterprise Business Agility Coach Om Patel and Product Manager Brian Orlando are debating today! Listen as we debate the pros and cons of separating innovation from implementation, exploring why "if you build it, you own it" should extend to innovation as well.

Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Coach Om Patel are listening and reacting to Melissa Perri on Lenny's Podcast as she makes claims about product management, agile, frameworks, and why most companies struggle with product management. We discuss many of her claims, including: Product Management has nothing to do with the Manifesto for Agile Software Development Scrum is only for Large Organizations Large Organizations Lack Infrastructure to support Product Management Rigid Processes Can Crash Your Entire Company ...and many, many more!

AA205 - Debating Impact vs. Visibility in Product Management 58:34

58:34

We're exploring the false dichotomy between being good at your job and being seen as valuable by leadership! The framework for this conversation was an eye-opening yet brutally honest post about the tactics one product manager claims to use to advance his career without delivering real impact. We ask, "is success about making an impact or just being seen as valuable," while we explore the tactics described in the article: Focusing on vision while ignoring execution Using positivity to mask problems Avoiding accountability Dealing with the Inevitable burnout Whether you're a product manager, leader, or team member, you won't want to miss our conversation around building sustainable career success without sacrificing integrity.

Is it better to hire someone with deep domain expertise and teach them product management, or to bring in an experienced PM who can learn the domain? Today, we're debating the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches across critical areas like business impact, product discovery, stakeholder management, and leadership!Listen (or watch) as Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Coach Om Patel discuss why domain experts excel at identifying immediate pain points but may struggle with deeper product methodologies... or listen/watch as we discuss how experienced PMs can bring fresh perspectives while also facing steeper learning curves in specialized industries.

AA203 - Hating on Agile: Developer Frustrations with Agile 58:35

7 weeks ago58:35

58:35

We're exploring the growing anti-Agile sentiment among developers as the agile-industrial complex has stitched together a grotesque imitation of what was once a vibrant movement. Like Frankenstein's creation, what began with noble intentions has transformed into something both villagers and developers flee from in horror! Before lighting our torches and brandishing our pitchforks, we examine the common complaints: lightning-rod meetings that drain life force, the monster of micromanagement wearing agile's skin, the cruel illusion of self-organization, and the chains of cross-team dependencies binding teams to their suffering. We dissect the organizational structures that, like misguided scientists, fundamentally misunderstand the natural advantages of agility, creating abominations that shamble through corporate hallways. #AgileLeadership #ProductDevelopment #TeamEmpowerment References: AA199 - W.

We're taking a critical look at the Double Diamond model, aka. Dual Track Development, aka. Dual Track Agile. This widely-adopted model might be leading leadership and/or teams astray, so we're taking some time to explore its limitations in real-world applications. From the misconception of linear progression to the crucial importance of keeping customers involved throughout the process, Brian tries to convince Om that the model needs significant rethinking!
