Equations for Building Products with Sanity

I would be the first in the line to contend that as a product manager in the making, you ought to grow a healthy skepticism to "best practices". Context is king and most often, there is always an exception to everything. However, the following should save you some heartburn in the long run.

  • User Experience ≠ Wireframes
  • User Experience > Interaction Design > Look and feel
  • User = {customer, employee, business partner, developer,...}
  • Scrum ⊆ Agile ⊆ Iterative Methods
  • Agile ⇏ Speed
  • Detailed Definition of Ready ⇒ Consistent Definition of Done
  • Story Points ⇒ Estimation Metric
  • Story Points ⇏ Performance Metric
  • Burn Down ⇏ Progress
  • Low Defects ⇏ High Product Quality
  • Usability > UAT
  • Product Quality > Validation + Verification
  • Product Roadmap = {research, strategy, discovery, design, engineering, data, services, content, infrastructure, quality, legal, marketing, risk, regulatory, ...}
  • Talking to users ≠ Research
