Helping busy product leaders build more effective team cultures via product consulting | Follow for tips on improving product operations

To change how product managers are building products, you need to build out a lot of supporting structures. The problem is too many people do a lot and still fail. They invested too much in one tool or training instead of investing a little in many different types of infrastructure. As product leaders, we want product managers to continually improve their craft. So we build infrastructure to support them. Building out complicated solutions is a lot of work. Building one simple solution often doesn’t lead to long-lasting change. Instead, I try to build out several simple solutions together. I call this the “infrastructure rule of (at least) threes”. I do a deep dive into the rule of (at least) threes and what infrastructure really is in this week’s newsletter. Learn how you can do more, work less, and see progress.

Definitely intriguing! I've been in situations + companies where we have gone overboard in trying to implement a BIG system, only to see a small percentage of the functionality actually used or the only people who could use the system were the ones who evaluated + selected the tool... others were left confused. Excited to learn more!

Love the experimentation approach in solution-building. I like to build systems with a "how will this scale?" mindset from the start, but that also means not being rigid with your approach and being open to iterating on it/trying lots of different low-stakes things to get to the ideal process!

having good systems in place can make the difference Jenny Wanger
