My new project: Product Science
I haven’t kept up with The Product Thinker as well as I hoped for. The biggest reason for that is quite simple: blogging about product management — and only about product management — is hella boring.
Seriously, there are better things to do in life 😅
Some topics in product are fun, though. So, I’m launching a new thing called Product Science.
Check it here: https://productscience.academy
What gives?
I feel that product management has largely lost its way. It’s crumbling under the weight of hand-wavy frameworks that only help the people who sell them.
Product Science is my tiny attempt to right this wrong and re-focus the conversation on the aspects of Product that are grounded in math, psychology, social sciences.
The result is a multi-part, evergreen email course. I write each Part once, continuously refine it based on feedback, and then release newer versions and follow-on courses.
This way, I get to share my knowledge and ideas without the pressure to pump out content on a schedule.
The best thing? It’s free. I have no intention of monetizing this or any future content directly.
Seriously, go check it out.
The first part is called Probabilistic Product Management. In it, I talk about:
Why products fail and how to deal with it
How to apply probabilistic thinking to roadmaps
Decreasing strategy risk via discovery and user research
Making better bets with probabilistic strategy
If all of that sounds interesting, go check it out.
PS
While I won’t be sun-setting The Product Thinker any time soon, most of my attention will focus on Product Science from now on.
