Bad Product Management

Hear the panel discuss the answers to our Monday question "Where does bad product management impact the company the most?" And see Jason, Paul and I discuss that product management may be the most important role in the company, and lack of product management (or good product management) is bad product management.

Listen to our conversation on the poll question "What is the leading cause of bad product management?" Where Poor Leadership was the overwhelming winner with 50% of the vote, and we discussed how companies set up for projects, not products, are a leading cause.

Get our take on the following questions:

"What are the signs of bad product management?"

"When is bad product management not product management’s fault?" And we debate Jason's strong NEVER answer and bad corporate leadership being the cause.

And get our Lightning Round answers to "As a product leader, what is your approach to a product manager who is doing bad product management?"

This week, Steve Johnson and I were joined by my trusty sidekick Jason Vincelette, a strong triumvirate of panelists in Paul Hurwitz, Calvin Marshall, and May Wong, and returning panelist Brian Weber, as we decide to learn from what does not work in product management
