Susana ea oculos movent. Silvius eum oculos volvit. Ea loquendum sunt quoad solis occasus.




I'm not saying that I'm podcasting again... but I'm not *not* podcasting.

I got to guest host on the Denoise podcast and have a great talk with some fantastic Blender artists. I'm biased, but I think it's well worth a listen.

An important product management skills is understanding and articulating trade offs.

Driving long term strategy or short term execution is all about prioritization and asking what should we do now versus later versus never.

Using frameworks like ICE are a PM’s secret weapon.

in reply to Dare Obasanjo

After a decade spent chasing different prioritization methods, I... disagree.😞 CD3, ICE, WSJF, etc are inevitably a prop, a stand-in for when you don't have trust and good communication with your stakeholders. They can help buy you time to build those relationships while you deliver something, but they rarely actually improve on your intuition. Better is to relentlessly focus on an agreed goal (eg impact mapping) and demonstrate repeated small wins in that area until it's nailed.

I agree the three axes of ICE are well-formed and roughly orthogonal

And it's super useful to build consensus about various approaches' relative ranking on each axis

But the metrics-engineer/ersatz-data-scientist parts of me are _so upset_ by the idea of summarizing by _adding_
1/n



The Transmission (Headlines):

"A New Hampshire man is fighting for his life because of a mosquito bite. Fifty-four-year-old Joe Casey of Kensington has tested positive for three mosquito-borne viruses, including eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus..... He was positive for EEE, for West Nile, and St. Louis Encephalitis, but the CDC, the infectious disease doctors, they don’t know which one is making him this sick..."

Currently at a doc appointment in the medical center area of Houston. It’s an enormous area with a LOT of medical offices, specialists, hospitals, etc. There are patients of all stripes and maladies.

And I have yet to see ONE staff member or patient wearing a mask. Not even the sorry asses who are coughing.

You would think at a friggin medical building where there are cancer patients, heart patients, kids with broken arms, and all kinds of patients people would mask up.

Whyyyy???? Why are they not?

I am grateful that you have a good mask with a good fit. Your glasses also offer some goggle-like protection against aerosol invaders. You are being smart.
