Reminder: don't trust fancy methodology names I tend to repeat myself over all of the articles I'm publishing here, yet let me do it one more time for this particular topic: I don't believe in dogmas. I believe that many dogmas are more aspirational and theoretical than actual, factually implemented practices. Especially within the context… Continue reading Building the right product: why, what and how

A Guide: Frugality in Offline Events
Introduction Frugality is the quality of being frugal, sparing, thrifty, prudent, or economical in the consumption of resources such as food, time or money, and avoiding waste, lavishness or extravagance. In behavioral science, frugality has been defined as the tendency to acquire goods and services in a restrained manner, and resourceful use of already-owned economic… Continue reading A Guide: Frugality in Offline Events
Product Design, Roadmap and Estimations
I've written about this topic already, a long time ago. Yet, it was with other words, with less experience. And I'm doing it again, as throughout the teams I met and worked with, it still seems like a key pushback, while it really is in the best interest of everyone, engineers, PMs, and anyone else… Continue reading Product Design, Roadmap and Estimations
Chatbots, my rules of engagement
Many can witness, I can be considered a laggard when it comes to using Chatbots. I must say, I've always been super cautious about those beasts. As Marco Spinello put it a couple of weeks ago, their ugliest fails lie in: They make stuff up They are sycophantic They make 180-degree turns when challenged Basically,… Continue reading Chatbots, my rules of engagement
Hopes and (reasonable) expectations

Go-to-Market & Discovery: When is the last time you talked to a lead?
Last week, I had a real blast giving a talk at ProductInCorp summit Nantes 2024. It had been a while since I last gave a talk. And it was a first for me to do that on a Product Management topic. I'm thankful to OnePoint and François Amisse for the opportunity. I'm now very much… Continue reading Go-to-Market & Discovery: When is the last time you talked to a lead?
Some keys to setting Objectives
Long stories short: you need objectives. Though only if you set them wisely.
Product Management is not Project Management
In the early days of this blog, I started writing a series of articles on what Product Management is, and what it is not, according to my experience. There's a draft I initiated back then that I thought would be uninteresting. I'm pretty surprised that I'm now writing it, but after seeing some discussions about… Continue reading Product Management is not Project Management
NPS, doing it right
Disclaimer I'm not a fan of NPS, for the reasons I'll expose later in this article. It probably suffers from its fame and the common consequent pitfall where teams would rush into using it without thinking it through. That being said, you can end up having to collect that metric for a legitimate reason, or… Continue reading NPS, doing it right
Methods: adapt it, don’t adopt it
It’s been about 12 years that I’ve been working in “agile” environments. Currently being open to work (feel free to reach out), I’m getting the chance of discussing with multiple teams from multiple companies, and to try and understand how they work, and where they struggle. One thing especially seems to worry people, funnily enough: words. Why… Continue reading Methods: adapt it, don’t adopt it
