Episode notes

As the executive, you have the final say, but sometimes it's up to you to negotiate with other stakeholders. You can't just make vague promises, you need to offer specific trade-offs. If you want something special, you'll have to sacrifice other things. And remember, the lifespan of a chief product officer is short, so the rest of the team will eventually get tired of always getting what they want. Constraints are a reality, and there are limits to development and design resources.

Lou has Rich Mironov, CEO of Mironov Consulting, as his guest. Rich runs a blog and has been writing for over 20 years about business and the psychology that goes into product management. Together, they discuss ways that Product Management and UX can work more fluidly together. They dive into how you can bring your team together so everyone is working on the same page. Rich brings some nuggets of advice he has collected over his many years in the industry and touches on the talk he will be giving at Rosenfeld Media’s Design in Product Conference. https://rosenfeldmedia.com/events/futures/
