Paving the Cowpaths – Log in how you like

However, project management and product management are distinct practices and by using a project management tool you are very possibly distorting the product management process to fit within the confines of the [...]
Embrace the Inconvenient Truths of Product
Marty Cagan recently wrote about his frustration with the all-to-common process of creating product roadmaps, the process of painstakingly putting together a ‘plan’ for the coming months and quarters, signed off by a vast set of stakeholders. His article on the Inconvenient Truths of Product resonated with us, as he outlined two very good reasons [...]
Sharing from a Product Manager tool
You’ve found your way to ProdPad, and are now using it to manage your products: You’ve got a backlog of ideas and feature requests that you can now easily sift, sort and search your way through, you’ve recorded a bunch of info about your product, your personas, and even your users’ feedback, and you’re building [...]
