As product leaders, we should be able to assess where along the product maturity curve our products fall. The answer provides guidance on where to go next. Introduction, growth, maturity, decline (or perhaps extension) … each phase has its own set of challenges and will yield a different strategy going forward.…
It’s been a month since my last post here (my life is clearly too busy) but in that time I finished two more books (numbers 39 and 40 for the year) that I want to comment on briefly. The first is another graphic novel: volume one of Bloodshot from Valiant comics. Written by Duane Swierczynski… Continue reading 2 very different books
I wanted to share brief notes on two books I’ve finished recently (numbers 37 and 38 for those of you still counting). Though there are many differences between the two both paint a somewhat bleak and dystopian vision of the world we live in – and both are well worth reading if you get the… Continue reading The End of The World – two books
My 36th book for the year is one I couldn’t find images to tweet about and even had trouble grabbing a featured image for to top this blog post. That’s because the book – volume one of Sex Criminals written by Matt Fraction with art by Chip Zdarsky – is a ridiculously funny, raunchy, frequently… Continue reading Sex Criminals volume 1: One Weird Trick

This blog post is on a topic totally different from what I usually cover, but these ideas are on my mind as I get ready to send my second child to college this fall. I don’t know whether this advice is useful or whether my kids will even think about it once they hear it,… Continue reading Five things to remember
My 34th book for the year is another graphic novel – volume one of Drifter by Ivan Brandon with art by Nic Klein. The beach is a great place to do lots of reading, and plowing through comic books and graphic novels brings back my youth when I would spend hours reading all the comics… Continue reading Drifter: Out of the Night
I’m a huge believer in learning from the past; as Yogi Berra might have said some of my best mistakes are in the past. There’s a lot we can learn by reflecting on both what went well and what didn’t work out at the end of a project, an Agile sprint, a meeting, or a… Continue reading Reflections on retrospectives
For my 31st read of the year I came back for more of the comic book phenomenon known as The Wicked + The Divine, and in volume two I must say writer Kieron Gillen and artist Jamie McKelvie (along with colorist Matt Wilson and letterer Clayton Cowles) have done it again only more so. Volume… Continue reading The Wicked + The Divine vol 2: Fandemonium
My 30th book of the year is one I gave my wife as a Valentine’s Day gift in 2013 and only now got around to reading myself. It is a memoir written jointly by Alice and Staughton Lynd about their involvement in communities promoting peace and justice over the past roughly 60 years. From involvement… Continue reading Stepping Stones: Memoir of a Life Together
