What they believe

Product managers must master saying no to most possible features to say yes to the few they should build.
As product managers we must master the ability to say “no” to the myriad features we could be building in order to say “yes” to the few we should be building. Triaging is critically important to tackle the sheer quantity of project or feature ideas that get thrown our way daily from various stakeholders.

A team's shared process, not the roadmap itself, creates the focus that makes a roadmap useful.
Creating a roadmap won’t magically create the right product development processes. Instead, your team’s shared rules of the road are what will create the focus, consistency, and transparency that lead to a useful roadmap.

Creating focus within the chaos of roadmapping Said 5 Nov 2018
The most valuable part of roadmapping is the habit of communicating plans, which aligns the team.
The habit of building and communicating your short- and long-term product plans helps not only to create clarity in your own mind, but it also helps align the entire team in the same direction. This is the most valuable part of the roadmapping process.

Tech's powerful perpetuate bro culture and will keep their advantages unless an outside force compels them to give them up.
These leaders then become investors who place bets on entrepreneurs that mirror their own backgrounds. And thus the bro-culture cycle continues. Change does not come from internal investigations and teary-eyed apologies. The people in power will hold onto their advantages unless they are compelled by an outside force to give them up.
Dear Silicon Valley: Change is Coming Said 17 Jul 2017
Silicon Valley's toxic work culture is a collective failing, not only that of individual offenders.
We can agree that those who create a toxic work culture should be held accountable. Their behavior isn’t normal, and the resulting impact on our industry certainly isn’t acceptable. But we cannot point our fingers at just these individuals. These are our collective indiscretions.
Dear Silicon Valley: Change is Coming Said 17 Jul 2017
Supporting entrepreneurs without a privileged platform is one of the most impactful ways to improve diversity in tech.
But ultimately, I believe one of the most impactful things we can do is support and promote entrepreneurs that don’t have a privileged platform. The Silicon Valley dream is based on the entrepreneurial drive that disrupts entire industries, changes the ways in which we live, and yes — makes the world a better place.
Dear Silicon Valley: Change is Coming Said 17 Jul 2017
Products should nudge users toward best practices and limit their options rather than offer every choice.
Nudge users into how they should use your product because they aren’t going to be experts, nor should they have to be. Lead them into best practices and limit their options to make their lives easier.
Developers are Users, Three Said 1 Dec 2014
Selling a product, including to developers, means focusing on the customer's desired outcome, not your feature list.
As new users visit your website or learn about your product, they are in search of a solution to their problem. So focus on their desired outcome, not your own list of features. Remember, it’s not about you.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
