(Book: Part 1/6) Future-Proofing Product Management: A Guide to Current Trends and Beyond (feat. Magali Pelissier)
(Part 1/6) I had an opportunity to chat with Magali Pelissier, Product Management Leader at Cisco, about her latest book: "Future-Proofing Product Management: A Guide to Current Trends and Beyond", and it made for a very exciting conversation. You can find the book here. Magali's podcast, "Product Perspectives", can be found on Apple & Spotify. For more details, check out Magali's website. Note: The entire conversation is spread across 6 episodes. I highly recommend that you watch them in sequence.

Challenges in bootstrapping a SaaS Startup
I stumbled into an article written by Melissa Kwan recently where the author had listed a number of challenges in bootstrapping a SaaS Startup, and as someone who runs a Startup with both B2C and B2B products, some of the points resonated well with me. I figured it might be worth sharing my perspective on some of the items mentioned in the article, and draw the parallels to our experiences. #snowpal #startup #bootstrap

(Part 2/2) Podcast Collaboration: Introducing my first 2 guests
(Part 2) 2 podcast collaborations in - time to share a few thoughts! My first podcast was with Matthew Davidchuk, a brilliant engineer. And no surprises - 90 minutes later, I walked out a slightly better engineer. My second podcast was with Magali Pelissier, a brilliant product leader. And no surprises again - 120 minutes later, I walked out a slightly better product manager. (The podcasts are in "post production", so should be published shortly) Look out for more podcasts with Matthew and Magali, as the first podcast has turned into a series! Plus, my next guest is a very special one from New Delhi, and we will be discussing a 3rd topic (hint: there may well be a hands-on, LIVE coding component to that conversation). #snowpal #podcast

Porting over 250 podcasts from one platform to another
Scalability isn't limited to applications in production. No matter what you do, you want to ensure that it is a scalable approach. Short of it, the exact same activity is going to take a lot longer. Besides, what's interesting is that making even tiny changes to your approach tends to go a long way in enhancing overall productivity. In this podcast, I'll share the approach we took to port hundreds of videos from one platform to another, and why we were able to accomplish that in shy of 10 hours. #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com

ETA: What does your team base their estimates on? And how accurate are they?
It is one thing to provide an ETA for any given task, but it is completely another to provide a meaningful, reasonably accurate, and accountable ETA. Ask for ETAs but take them with a grain of salt. Focus more on solving the problem efficiently and less on the actual time it will take to solve that. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com. Keep it simple.
