Product management thinking, P3: “Technology adoption cycle”.
This is another angle on how you can balance Product testing vs. limiting spread even if you have cool technology that everyone expects.
I would, however argue with your first statement in the post: "This product isn't an incremental innovation; it's a disruptive product that introduces a new dimension to user experience.". To me, Apple Vision IS an incremental product, just not to Apple's own product, but to the other AR products that have existed for relatively long time.
Apple is very well known, at this point, not to enter new markets with a first product. They sit and wait for others to test the waters, and refine, improve and prepare to market their "second entry" product. This has happened to everything, starting with the now iconic iPod.
I would say that Apple enters the market somewhere right around the "Takeoff" stage of the graph below.
And there's another thing they achieved with this launch - now there people building products for this new ecosystem. It will be interesting to see, how quickly this marketplace will grow.
Prioritization is a key aspect of product management and yet it's very hard to satisfy everyone. This is a great read on some best practices https://bit.ly/3q9bfcW#productmanagement

All prioritization and product management systems boil down to:
How can we say “no” to almost everything, and be confident that what we say “yes” to, will matter?
Keep that in mind when you select a system or schedule work just because someone asked you to.
This week marks 3 months! since I started my 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗙𝗶 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.
In my nearly eight years of experience as a Product Manager, I’ve had the chance to work on AI products, but never from the perspective of 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀.
I recently came across an 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗔𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿:
👉 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: Platform teams don’t just serve internal teams; they also need to consider the end users, making discovery and understanding more complex.
👉 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻: They have to solve problems for both internal teams and end users.
👉 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: The best platform teams anticipate needs, rather than just responding to requests.
👉 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗚𝗮𝗽𝘀: Assuming internal teams have done thorough discovery can lead to inefficiencies.
👉 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆: Platforms should empower product teams to solve problems independently, not create dependencies.
👉 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Platform teams are responsible for both internal team success and the end-user experience.
I fully agree with the points in the article. If you're curious about the role of a 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 or considering transitioning into one, this is a great read to get started.

Instead what you really have is a daisy chain. Where those consuming your platform are trying to achieve something for an end user."

Modern day product management can be Glacial when it comes to unlocking value.
From “break things, move fast”, we have come to “measure 15 times, cut once”.
Folks, its ok to make easily reversible mistakes. Its called a feature flag for a reason- use it. Even if you have a billion users; it is fine to go into GA without being perfect.

Product Management: Where the only constant is change
The Product Management Lifecycle:
Day 1: Build a solution! 💻
Day 2: Realize it's too complex... 😖
Day 3: Simplify the solution! 💡
Day 4: Realize it's too simple...😖
Day 5: Repeat! 🔁
...and on Day 365: Start all over again, because "change" is the only constant!
#ProductManagementLife#ChangeIsTheOnlyConstant
Product Management (PM) and Project Management (PrM) are essential in DevOps but focus on different aspects. PM takes a strategic view, defining the product vision and roadmap based on customer needs. PrM is more tactical, ensuring tasks are completed on time and within budget.
Agile and DevOps require flexibility and collaboration. PMs need to consider how the product will be built, while PMs need to adapt to changes. Strong leadership is key to bridging the gap between PM and PM. Clear communication and a collaborative environment help teams identify issues early and keep the organization innovative.
