If you’re having troubles with selling an idea, check if the jargons used mean the same thing for everyone.

Thoughts on the PTOTD

People have their own truths about facts. Unfortunately, this comes in your way when you’re selling an idea or a feature. If you’re facing continuous push-back, try to see if the other side has the same interpretations of the ‘facts’ that you’ve defined. Do not presume you’re talking the same language.

  1. In the early stages of your product, it’s perfectly fine to do things that don’t scale. It’ll help your product grow.
  2. Truth equals fact plus context.
  3. Story pointing is less for predicting the time to outcome and more for getting everyone on the same page.
  4. Find balance between seeking insights & beating insights from data.
  5. The wider your perspective, the better your problem defining ability.
