Lenny's Podcast: Product | Growth | Career
Finding the Kernel of Truth in Product
đź’¬ "...the core job is to understand what really matters."
- Good product ideas can come from various sources - customer feedback, internal teams, even YouTube videos.
- The core job of product management is to identify the "kernel of truth" - the most impactful ideas - amidst all the noise.
- This involves discerning good ideas from suggestions and understanding what truly moves the customer forward.
- Saying no to seemingly good ideas is necessary for focusing on what truly matters.
- Focus on the area of highest tech leverage.
Key takeaway: A key aspect of product management is identifying the most impactful ideas among the noise and prioritizing them based on what truly benefits the customer.
