Your roadmap looks like a Vegas buffet. Execs stroll past the trays, point at a shiny feature, and ask, “So… which one feeds revenue this quarter?” If your answer involves adjectives instead of numbers, congrats. You’ve built an output list, not an outcome-driven product roadmap. This post distills the best bits from our webinar Strategic…
Before Tom Evans even clicked to slide 2 of his recent webinar, the chat lit up with one universal pain: “My roadmap is packed, but nobody knows why we’re building any of it.” Sound familiar? That disconnect (between what ships and why it should matter) is the direct result of skipping the hard work of…
During our recent Metabase × Productside webinar when I teamed up with Tanya Aulachynskaya (Product Manager, Cloud, at Metabase) half the audience admitted they juggle “multiple options” for analytics: Amplitude for product, Excel for finance, Salesforce for sales. The predictable result? “Reports in different numbers” even when everyone is “trying to report on the same…
Your product management laptop keeps freezing. Open your calendar. See the rainbow-wheel of doom? That’s the sign you’re forcing 2025 problems through a 2019 operating system. You join every stand-up, polish every deck, chase every “quick question”… yet somehow real decisions happen in a meeting you weren’t invited to. Meanwhile the backlog balloons, competitive intel…
We’ve worked with hundreds of teams stuck in reactive delivery cycles, constantly shipping features but never sure if they’re actually moving the needle. In our webinar, Chaos to Clarity, Kenny Kranseler and Tom Evans shared a fictional case study that hits close to home for many PMs: WellNest Health, a company with a strong reputation…
Growth is great. Until it breaks your team. More products. More teams. More tools. More meetings. But not necessarily more clarity. If your organization has ever said, “We need product ops,” odds are you’re already in the weeds. Growth adds complexity, and if you scale without a plan, you don’t just end up working harder—you…
When product teams get stuck in backlog chaos, stakeholder noise, and reactive shipping, it’s not a process problem. It’s a product strategy problem. That’s where the Productside Blueprint comes in. In this serialized story, you’ll meet Heather Leaf, VP of Product at WellNest Health, and her lead PM, Tommy Trunk. They’re facing mounting pressure, internal…
Let’s be real—AI is no longer a buzzword on the product roadmap. It’s an urgent shift in how we build, scale, and deliver value. And the PMs who can navigate that shift with confidence? They’re the ones getting promoted, pulled into strategy conversations, and trusted to lead. That’s exactly why we created the AI Product…
Most product managers don’t set out to write bad requirements. They’re under pressure to deliver. They’re surrounded by requests. And they’re juggling context, roadmaps, and Jira tickets—just trying to keep up. So what happens? We write what’s easy. What’s fast. What’s expected. And that’s usually… not enough. At Productside, we’ve worked with thousands of PMs…
If you’ve scrolled LinkedIn lately, you’ve seen the headlines: AI is coming for your job. Product roles are being cut. Entire teams, downsized. And with layoffs, macroeconomic whiplash, and the looming specter of recession, it’s no wonder product managers are wondering—where do I actually fit? Let’s set the record straight. Your product management career isn’t…
