📢 Introducing Galileo AI, the newest member of your product team — reinventing how digital product teams create great digital experiences. In today’s digital-centric world, product teams are tasked with owning critical KPIs: conversion, adoption, retention, and more. When those KPIs don’t perform as expected, teams dig through massive amounts of data to figure out why. 🔬 🔎 Too often, though, those teams fail to find the root cause of a conversion or adoption problem because the important issues are buried in all their data. 🤯 😕 That’s where Galileo comes in: 🕵♂️ Galileo watches every user session in your app 🤔 Gains a human-like understanding of your app and its flows 🗣 Surfaces the most impactful user struggle and behavior patterns 🎯 Guides teams on where to invest for creating great user experiences 📺 Each issue comes with session replays to see exactly what went wrong Find out why Common App (yes, the site used by millions of students to apply to colleges) uses Galileo to identify critical issues impacting students, saying: “In the past, we might hear that something was wrong with our application submission flows, but figuring out the root cause and its impact was a time-consuming process, and we couldn’t be sure that the changes we made would move the needle. LogRocket’s AI capabilities easily allow teams across Common App to proactively identify the highest-impact issues and their causes in the areas of our app we care about the most.” Read the whole blog post here: https://lnkd.in/esn2Kb5W

“What the heck is happening during checkout?” I heard this from nearly all the PMs I talk to running Shopify stores. They know how their customers are browsing their site, but checkout is a complete black box. That’s why I’m excited to announce LogRocket’s new Shopify app! For the first time, you can finally get full session replay of your customers’ journeys, from landing page to purchase complete. Running a Shopify store? You can now see the exact friction points and issues that cause customers to drop out of the checkout process. Check out the link in comments to get started!

AI isn't taking your developer job—unless you're only doing replaceable work. 💡 "AI today is like a junior developer—it can produce a lot of code, but it doesn’t always fit the standards or work long-term." As AI continues to reshape the tech industry, the key to job security isn't just writing code—it's understanding how to shape, refine, and improve it. On today’s episode of PodRocket, Roy Derks, Developer Experience at IBM, shares why foundational engineering skills are more valuable than ever: 1️⃣ AI can generate tons of code, but without human expertise, it lacks the structure and adaptability for real-world applications. 2️⃣ Developers who move beyond simple implementation and focus on deeper engineering skills will future-proof their careers.

“UX needs to be part of the product organization. Oftentimes, you’ll find UX embedded within engineering, but I believe it should be in product. Product is about defining what it is that you’re going to build, and engineering then defines how you’re going to build it. UX figures out how it’s going to look, behave, and feel from a customer experience perspective. Then, as you build the product process through roadmapping, feature definition, user stories, etc., the UX team has to be intimately involved in all of these pieces. And if you’re blessed with enough resources to have a UX person assigned to each of your major portfolio areas, there’s an element of continuity that develops over time between the portfolio’s UX leader and product leader. They work hand-in-hand, looking out into the future about where the product is trying to go. The UX team can help with research into what the feature function should look like, as well as how the rest of the team should think about implementing it. Conversely, the product team needs to be aware of what the UX needs in terms of timing. Can the design the UX team made actually be built by engineers? How much time will they need? You are in it together to make sure that the end design is implemented and matches what you all intended.” I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Fugere of CentralSquare Technologies about the importance of having marketing, product, and UX constantly aligned early for a successful launch of any product. He also shared an example of implementing and standardizing a feedback loop to improve the overall customer experience. #ProductLeadership #UX Link in the 1st comment 👇

Thank you Sibel Bagcilar for a wonderful conversation - it was my pleasure to do the interview with you on how product managing AI-based products is different from the more traditional "deterministic" products, and on the role of PM is changing thanks to AI.

Thank you Jessica Srinivas and LogRocket for considering me. I enjoyed working on this and I hope it's helpful to those who listen. Please DM me if you have questions or want to talk more about any of the content we covered.

You're one week away from launching a major internal product and disaster strikes... Someone asks 👇 "Have we figured this little thing out? Because if we don’t, I think we kill the business overnight." ‼️ That one question stopped Rich DiTieri in his tracks. ‼️ When Jeff Wharton talked to Rich on LaunchPod about his experience in product, Rich had a huge wakeup call when someone asked him this question right before launch. It turned out that because of this oversight, 10 interconnected business processes would be disrupted, creating a massive ripple effect they hadn't accounted for. And the insight didn’t come from the core product team... It came from someone in a business unit they hadn’t even considered a key stakeholder. 😱 💡 Lesson learned: ✅ The assumptions you don’t check can be the ones that break everything. ✅ Every product decision has a waterfall effect—map it out early. ✅ Encourage a culture where anyone can raise their hand. The smallest insight can prevent the biggest disaster. Rich caught it just in time. But not everyone gets that lucky. ➡️ Check out the rest of the story in our latest episode of LaunchPod: https://lnkd.in/eX_U56ra Have you ever had a close call like this? Let’s hear your stories. ⬇️

AI is NOT killing your software engineer career. 💡 "The biggest misconception is that relying heavily on advanced tools will secure your place in the industry." With the job market for developers becoming increasingly competitive with the introduction of AI, simply using cool tools isn't enough to stand apart from the competition. On today’s episode of PodRocket, Steve Ruiz, founder at tldraw shares why deep, foundational skills are critical for a sustainable career in engineering: 1️⃣ The inevitable shrinking of the labor market due to AI advancements means that lower-level, harder engineering skills are becoming more crucial. 2️⃣ If you're chasing a career in development, diving deep into core engineering concepts will provide lasting benefits.

What do you do when all the results from your experiments is called into question? Appreciate Jeff Wharton, Emily Kochanek, and LogRocket having me on the LaunchPod podcast to talk about how to run a good experimentation program and lessons from my career as a PM and experimenter. I share lessons on how to: ➡️ Prove impact as a PM leader ➡️ How to grow user generated content (lessons from my early days at G2) ➡️ Grow a B2B business by listening to your customers https://lnkd.in/dgXPev5X
