Is a security product company building a true platform or a suite? The distinction clarifies where to invest, how to measure progress, and what competitive advantage to pursue. Here's my guidance for deciding which approach is best, including a look at CrowdStrike, Okta, and Palo Alto Networks.

Most Cybersecurity Products Aren't Platforms and It's OK

The test for a genuine platform is whether each new addition makes everything else more valuable, not just whether products share a brand or console. Recognizing which dynamic the architecture supports determines where to invest and what competitive advantage to pursue.

Why roadmaps slip every quarter:

→ Estimates built on optimism, not data

→ Dependencies mapped after work starts

→ Scope added mid-sprint, nothing removed

→ No buffer for real-world interruptions

Better plan won't fix a broken execution system.

Anchor estimates to reality. Surface blockers early.

#ProductManagement was never about output, but outcome.
Creating value by doing the right things at the right time.
Now, output is getting cheaper with the help of coding tools and LLMs, so #strategy and user knowledge is the value we create.

Zwei der Änderungen die ich für mich zum #diday gemacht habe, hätte ich viel früher machen sollen…

#Mailbox und #KeepassiumPro erinnern mich bei jeder Nutzung daran, dass Interfaces und Interaktion früher einmal Zweckdienlich und Benutzerzentrisch war, und nicht #KPI und #ProductManagement und "Lass irgendwas shippen" getrieben war.

週五短句：「團隊在討論方案猶豫不決時，先問自己：我提供足夠的脈絡了嗎？」

無論是不是 AI 產品，PM 的核心沒變。資料更新頻率、容錯標準、目前是探索還是要面對大規模用戶... 這些脈絡才是團隊最需要你協助的地方。不必急著跳下去參與深入的技術或設計決策，先確認資訊都攤在桌上了。

Books on problem-solving using Agile, Lean, Complexity, and more

Six great books on problem-solving. Learn how to deal with impediments using agile practices, do A3 problem-solving with lean thinking, apply complexity science, finding root causes, and do event storming. All in one buy for a largely reduced price! Books included Agile teams need to be able to handle impediments. The book Problem? What Problem? explores how teams can deal effectively with the problems that will happen in their daily work, using agile thinking and practices. The impediments that teams deal with are perhaps one of the most under appreciated subjects in the project management world. When not uncovered and resolved, impediments can do harm to an otherwise well run project in ways that are often subtle and easy to miss. The Little Book of Impediments is all about: how you find, track, and destroy impediments. The book on A3 Problem Solving is meant to demystify some of what people know and hear about A3s. We get to the core of what it's all about, how you use it, and connect it to lean thinking throughout. Complexity science is one pillar of modern ways of working. While Complexity literature is very theoretic, the book Living Complexity explores practical applications in software and digital products development. The practices help you navigate everyday Complexity. Most people only see symptoms of an issue not the actual root of the problem. Finding the root cause and fixing it is a team sport, as explained in the book Root Cause Analysis: True QA - Sorting through chaos to find the RIGHT issue to resolve. Need a quick introduction to running an effective EventStorming session? The EventStorming Handbook is a handy quick start guide for anyone wanting to learn quickly how to facilitate an EventStorming session.

AI boosts throughput, but are we ignoring the 'cognitive debt'? Outsourcing coding to LLMs can atrophy the very skills needed to review them. We must remain cognitively engaged to lead effectively: https://tomwojcik.com/posts/2026-02-15/finding-the-right-amount-of-ai/
