New Year! News Letter!

Hi and welcome to the newsletter. I’m glad you’re here. 

I work with product teams, helping them understand design, product management, strategy, and agility. I do some writing too: you may have read my books, Lean UX, Sense & Respond, and Outcomes Over Output.

I’ve decided to write this newsletter for you, the designer, the product manager, the member of a product team, or the person who works with product teams. Maybe you’re a data scientist. Maybe you’re a QA person, or a marketing person, or… My goal here is to help you work more effectively with your teams and colleagues to make great stuff. I’ll do that by sharing what I’ve learned in my 32 years (OMG!!!) in the business. I’m a big fan of practical methods and straightforward language, and I hope you’ll find lots of that here. 

Why Now?

It’s 2023, and we’ve learned some things about digital product development–but what we know is not even distributed inside organizations, nor is it all widely practiced. We’ve also learned a ton about what NOT to do. I’ll be sharing these with you here. 

In coming weeks, I’ll be writing about how to get aligned to a user-centric strategy, how to be more outcome-focused, how to avoid getting burned out by agile, how, instead, to make steady incremental progress week-by-week, how to practice continuous discovery, how to make OKRs your friend, and much more.

So, if that sounds interesting to you, stick around—or subscribe, or share with a friend.

Thanks,
Josh
