Most roadmaps are ordered by convenience. The strongest teams order theirs by uncertainty, so fragile beliefs break early while course correction is still cheap.

I asked Maya Brooks what great PMs do every single day.

Stop Selling Seats. Your Customers Don't Want Access β€” They Want Results. By now you've probably seen what a 200-line markdown file did to $285 billion in market value. If you haven't, watch this breakdown -- it's the sharpest analysis out there of why the per-seat SaaS mod...

If your revenue depends on how many humans log in, AI is about to eat your pricing model.

[PATREON EXCLUSIVE] Shared Governance for Product Growth: Systems That Align Companies | The Product Way Patreon Get more from The Product Way Patreon on Patreon

Most partnerships don’t break. They drift.

Progress keeps moving, but no one can say what decision it actually enables or when it should stop.

My latest Patreon article breaks down how strong product leaders keep strategy intact when work spans companies.

[PATREON EXCLUSIVE] Embedding AI in Daily Work, Part 4: Frameworks for Sustainable Rhythm | The Product Way Patreon Get more from The Product Way Patreon on Patreon

Most forays into AI die after two weeks.

The team gets excited, runs a few prompts, and then reverts to the old way of working. If an AI task doesn't pass the check for Value, Fit, and Flow, it doesn't belong.

Part 4 covers the frameworks to build this discipline.

Question for the PMs here: Are you actually trusting AI with strategic decisions yet?

I see the tooling shifting from "data analysis" to "outcome prediction," but I'm curious if that's hitting the ground in your day-to-day work, or if it's still just marketing hype.

Are you seeing non-management tracks opening up at your org yet?

I'm noticing a shift where companies are finally valuing high-level contributors in Coaching or Innovation roles, rather than forcing everyone into leadership.

Curious if this is actually hitting the mainstream or just a bubble.
