Listen "15: Product roadmaps (with ex-Google product lead Mike Knapp)"
Episode Synopsis
THE GUEST
Mike Knapp is an incredibly smart product thinker. Currently, Mike is building Mottle, a platform that lets you build a chatbot in 10 minutes with no coding. Before this, Mike was a product lead at Google and co-founded the experimental Google product Task Mate. Mike also co-founded Shoes of Prey, a startup he helped scale MASSIVELY to a valuation I can only imagine. In the middle of all of those projects, he was the Entrepreneur in Residence in the accelerator I did years ago and has been an instrumental mentor in my life so, I am so excited to have had him on the show. Mike is an expert at building products and product management.
THE QUESTIONS
[7:26] How do you defend your roadmap from leaders? A product manager in a startup is constantly battling with his founders as they jump from idea to idea, disrupting the product roadmap. We dive into how to effectively set a product strategy that has buy-in at every level.
[24:03] Roadmap template? A new product manager has no idea where to get started building out a product roadmap, so we break down what a product roadmap actually is, how to use it, and how to build one that works.
THE SHOW
DO AS I SAY is an advice show about the real problems in startups.
