The fastest way to build a strategy as a new VP Product:
-> Understand role
-> Establish baseline
-> Snap strategy
-> Resource allocation
-> Increase insights

𝟭. 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆
Ignore the job description and what you've been told.

This whole “vibe coding trumps PRDs” nonsense is total BS.

If you vibe code without writing a spec... you end up building stuff that you don't want and doesn't work.

• Vibe coding speeds the building part
• Which means clarity on what you’re building and why is essential

I'm so sick of the 🇺🇸 US vs 🇪🇺 Europe debate.
It’s a distraction and it sells Europe short.

There’s great product talent everywhere.
Europe doesn’t need to copy Silicon Valley.
It's time to forge its own path.

6x ways feedback goes wrong… and how to fix them

Feedback isn’t optional — it’s a core leadership skill.

Your job as a leader is to make your team as effective as possible. And you can’t do that without feedback.
The best athletes in the world all have coaches.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 is such a problematic term

It disguises 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 and 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 as something uniquely "producty."

"𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲" = elitist, mysterious, innate
"𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁" = accessible, clear, learned

That’s a problem because it makes the skill seem:
• 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 – something only PMs possess

Agents aren't magic.
Without domain knowledge they are useless.

Garbage in = garbage out.

Amplifying a process you don't understand gets you nowhere.

Here’s the truth about agents:

You’re overthinking quarterly planning.

Most quarterly plans fail because people treat them like strategy resets.

They’re not.

Quarterly planning is about 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, not reinvention.

And when you get that wrong, everything feels heavier than it needs to be.

Fun fact: you can estimate the retention of subscription products from the ratio btw their monthly and annual price points.

B2C and prosumer subscription companies typically have two main price points:
• 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆: low low entry point ← pulls people in
• 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹: great discount ← makes them stay

10x ways PMs use ChatGPT as their co-pilot:

𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿

ChatGPT is your sounding board.
Explain your challenge, and ask for different approaches.

Funny realisation this week.

The more time I spend writing evals for AI agents,
the clearer I'm getting briefing actual humans.

Both processes force the same discipline:
You only get great work when you define great work.

Agile ceremonies are the WORST
They are boring, low value and take up too much time

The meetings aren't fundamentally flawed
But all too often teams are going through the motions

Agile ceremonies are all about performance
Are you getting good value-for-time out of them?

How much discovery is enough?

That's a tricky question to answer, because as always "it depends"...

Let's start at the beginning.

The product trio is dead ☠️

For years, we treated 𝘗𝘔 + 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 + 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 as the holy trinity of product work.

And that's been helpful.
But now it's holding us back.
