The Importance of Priorities
Setting clear priorities is crucial for product success. It involves knowing what tasks to focus on and what to leave aside. Additionally, having the right people with the appropriate skill set and culture is vital for a well-functioning team. Moreover, efficient processes are necessary to ensure that work gets done and value is delivered. However, what sets great product people apart is not just their ability to handle these three aspects. It is also about being aware of how others perceive their work. It is important to ensure that stakeholders, partners, and customers agree with and understand the team's priorities, people, and processes.
