“I've had the pleasure of working with Moriah since the beginning of 2013. Because of her ability to understand both business goals and technical design, she is able to discern when people do not really understand each other (usually between Designers and Developers). When there is an emergency or hard deadline, she will work on the problem until it gets done, even if it means putting in extra hours. She is a person that is smart in how she works. She irons out inefficiencies in processes and tasks whenever she sees them.”

Let’s get real. In the tech world, we love our rockstar engineers and visionary product managers. But what about the unsung heroes who make sure the trains run on time? Enter: Technical Program Managers (TPMs). Here’s the deal—TPMs are the connective tissue in any tech org. Without them, your next big thing is just a pipe dream. Here’s why they matter: 1. Master Planners: TPMs are the strategists who see the big picture. They map out the journey from idea to execution, ensuring every cog in the machine is working towards the endgame. 2. Diplomatic Leaders: These folks are the UN of tech. TPMs navigate cross-functional teams, aligning everyone from engineering to product, and making sure egos don’t derail progress. 3. Execution Powerhouses: Think of them as project ninjas. TPMs oversee the whole process, managing timelines, resources, and risks. They get sh*t done. 4. Tech Savvy: A TPM isn’t just a project manager with a fancy title. They understand the tech stack and can speak geek. This lets them make smart decisions and steer the ship effectively. 5. Communication Gurus: Ever been left in the dark on a project? Not with a good TPM. They keep stakeholders in the loop, ensuring transparency and trust all the way. 6. Risk Avengers: TPMs spot risks from a mile away and crush them before they become a problem. It’s like having a crystal ball and a wrecking ball in one. 7. Efficiency Experts: These pros are all about optimizing. They refine processes and drive continuous improvement, making sure your team isn’t just working hard, but smart. Bottom line: TPMs are the unsung heroes who turn chaos into order and dreams into reality. Next time you see a project succeed, know there’s probably a badass TPM behind the curtain making it all happen. To all the TPMs out there: You’re the backbone of innovation. Keep rocking.

Chitrang Dalal hits the nail on the head with this one. Influence is the second most important trait (the first being recognition) a product manager needs to be successful in their role and career. Influencing without authority 📢 is one of the trickiest skills to master, especially if you're a relatively new product manager or haven't been in a role where your "immediately visible" deliverables are generally the product of other teams, teams that you are not directly responsible for. In my experience, you can go a long way in building your influence with your teams if you focus on adding value 📈 every day to them; the same way your job as a product manager is to add value to your customers. Building your relationships with key stakeholders make it infinitely easier to carry out your products' initiatives and action items, which in turn both provide you tangible value adds in the short-term and intangible value adds over the long-term. And that's an important factor in both validating your value as a product manager and as an asset to your team. #productmanagement #productmanagers #influence #addvalue #relationships #empathy #careeradvice #careergrowth #careercoaching #mentorship #leadership #selfimprovement #progress #support #teamwork

Mid-day Advice: Ok, so we are all excited—well, those who have PTO or vacation time in our current roles! For those who do, we need to talk about how we, as product teams, can truly enjoy this holiday day off. How can we disconnect, decompress, and spend time doing things we love without worrying if we forgot to update, send, or address something back at the 'office'? Having worked in project management, product management, and Agile for a while now, the one thing these roles have in common is foresight—seeing the future or at least predicting what is to come next. This skill is critical when long holiday weeks are upon us. We want to be successful at disconnecting and recharging, so here are my top 3 tips for setting up the 'railways' to do just that: 1. Plan Ahead: Before your holiday, ensure all critical tasks are completed or delegated. Set up auto-responses for your emails and inform your team about your time off. This proactive approach reduces the chances of urgent issues cropping up while you're away. 2. Communicate Clearly: Inform stakeholders and team members of your planned absence well in advance. Provide clear instructions on whom to contact in your absence and outline any key tasks that need attention. Clear communication ensures everyone is on the same page. 3. Trust Your Team: Empower your team to make decisions and handle tasks independently. Trusting your team not only helps them grow but also gives you peace of mind that things will run smoothly without your constant oversight. By following these tips, you can confidently disconnect, recharge, and enjoy your holiday to the fullest. Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a well-deserved break! #HolidayTips #ProjectManagement #PTO #VacationMode #WorkLifeBalance #Agile #Teamwork #Productivity #HappyHolidays

You cannot be a great product manager if you cannot be a great leader. A common misconception I run into when people describe what they think a product manager is is that they are "independent contributors" in the sense that their deliverables are not influenced by other teams. If you've been in the world of product for awhile, you already know that this is far from the case. We may be "independent" in that we march to our own beat, but we are still "contributors" in that we are responsible for influencing, aligning, and leading others towards the big vision of our product. So, how can we do so? A great place to start is to focus on: (1) vision, (2) empowerment, and (3) execution. A clear and compelling vision is the cornerstone of any high-performing team. Without being aligned and understanding of what we're here to do, we have no where to lead. Empower your team by fostering an environment of trust and respect. Enable your teams to make their own decisions. This autonomy not only boosts morale, but also encourages accountability and innovation. Without that, you'll be doomed to micromanage which, as we all know, typically does not end well. And finally, setup effective processes and communications to execute on your vision and its strategy. Measure progress in ways that others understand. It's all about making things efficient and effective.
