Keep Product Management Messy
- Product management is a complex function that spans numerous dimensions and is defined differently within different companies.
- The factors that influence product management include company size, the stage of the product, the engineering culture, the competitive landscape, the customer profile, regulatory landscape, and the complexity of the tech stack.
- The different dimensions impacting product management can be combined to create clusters of companies with similar product management culture.
- Product advice is complex and can be either contextual or context-free, directional or actionable.
- The complexity of product management does not mean that it is flawed; instead, it requires a shift in learning approach such as guided mentorship, two-way apprenticeship, and learning through real-world challenges.
- One should focus more on collaborative sense-making rather than individual learning and learn through exploratory role growth instead of structured career paths.
- The key is to approach product management as an emergent field that requires contextual understanding, rather than trying to find a silver bullet that explains it universally.

When the cloud isn't enough (triple modular redundancy)
- Triple modular redundancy is critical for applications that require high availability or sensitive data.
- To ensure adherence to standards such as ISO-27001, having a single source of data and application is not enough.
- Clouds and internal servers have their own advantages, so it's important to balance between them.
- A triple redundancy of services helps in choosing the qualitative data in case of conflict between two services.
- Kubernetes and Docker make simple development and synchronization more easier and cost-effective.
- For a simple and inexpensive web application, users can choose from a list of software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers.
- Redundancy requires exceptional rigor and costly management and requires secure synchronization and checking of integrity and data corruption.
- Blockchain can also be used for redundancy and data integrity, depending on the data format of the application.
- A combination of an in-house server and cloud can provide a robust, secure application for global companies.
