Before we head off for the holidays, we thought we'd share Lenny's new survey on tool stacks for product people. You can take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/e3MK6rWy 👇

Hard truth that can happen when setting OKRs: You spend hours trying to balance competing priorities, only to end up with goals that don’t quite hit the mark. Instead of simplifying your job, those OKRs become just another source of stress. But this doesn’t have to be your norm, especially not for 2025. Setting OKRs doesn’t have to be a burden, as long as you know how to do it properly and strategically. That’s where my upcoming webinar comes in... I've invited renowned OKRs expert, Ben Lamorte to show you how to set and choose Product OKRs that work for you, not against you. You’ll learn how to create objectives that align with your business goals, inspire your team, and deliver measurable growth. I'm excited to kick-start the new year with a webinar that I think will help a lot of people, so register and I'll see you there.👇 When: Thursday 30th January 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST 📆 Where: https://hubs.ly/Q0300H750 👈

Does this sound familiar: You sit down to draft your OKRs for the next quarter. You know the drill: align with the company’s goals, define clear outcomes, and make sure everything is measurable. It sounds simple enough. But fast forward a few weeks, and suddenly those “well-crafted” OKRs aren’t doing what they’re supposed to... Teams are confused about what success looks like. Your metrics feel disconnected from reality. And leadership? They’re asking why you haven’t shown ROI yet. Here’s the deal: crafting Product OKRs that drive real, measurable growth isn’t just challenging - it’s one of the hardest parts of being a Product Manager. And honestly? It’s not your fault. There’s so much pressure to strike the perfect balance between ambition and feasibility, while still keeping your team motivated and on track. That’s why for our upcoming ProdPad webinar, I’ve invited Ben Lamorte to share his strategy on the perfect and only way to set OKRs for 2025 and how to make them work for you, not against you. So if you’re tired of spinning your wheels and want to start 2025 strong, this is the webinar you’ve been waiting for. As always the link to register is in the comments.👇 🎬 How to Set Product OKRs (The Most Effective Way) for 2025 with Ben Lamorte 📆 Thursday 30th January 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST

Unused features or products are expensive. They drain resources, create unnecessary complexity, and slow your product’s performance, but you may have an attachment to them…  On the other hand, you have to remember that every minute spent maintaining something no one uses is time you’re not spending on features that could actually make a difference. So why keep them? In my webinar ✨ later today ✨ Stephanie Musat and I will show you how to identify features that are dragging your product down and costing your team more than they’re worth. You'll learn how to streamline your product, save resources, and refocus on what matters most. As always we’ve shared a link in the comments to register.👇

I’m sure we all remember the first time we tried an AI tool - you’re skeptical, fumbling through prompts, wondering if this will even give you what you need. Well, they've come a long way, but how truly useful are they for Product Managers? Turns out they're super useful, but ONLY IF they're used correctly. From writing specs to analyzing feedback, AI tools can help PMs achieve more and do better, quicker. That’s why for my upcoming webinar, I wanted to share all the AI Product Management prompting secrets that will give you the most accurate and relevant results. I’ll also share which AI tools are best for specific product management tasks and which really aren't. Basically, if you want to dive into AI in Product Management and how it can help PMs, this webinar is a good place to start.
