I find the key to product management is patterns. You can't see a pattern in an individual request; you need to look at many requests to see what the real problem is and what the best solution would be.

Thanks for sharing these tips on saying "no" to distractions from the strategy.

Thanks for this, its a useful guide. The key is empowering product management for some organisations. I get the sense that this is pretty common place in the states but in the UK we’re still waiting for you to sneeze (so we can catch the cold)
