TEI 087: Metrics and successful product management

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you episode 087 of...

The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD.

The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers.

About the Episode: I enjoyed a wonderful conversation with Saeed Khan. He started the On Product Management blog and has been a career product manager, working in Toronto, Canada and Silicon Valley. He is also a frequent speaker at product management events, including ProductCamps.

I saw a presentation Saeed did on the topic of successfully using product management metrics. I wanted to explore this topic with him along with what else it takes to be a good product manager, which is what we did in this discussion.

In the interview Saeed shares four categories of metrics and his 6-stage product model:

1. Build It,
2. Nail It,
3. Scale It,
4. Extend It,
5. Milk It, and
6. End It.
