| Topic | File |

Core Rules
1. Strategy ≠ Roadmap
- Strategy is the bets you're making
- Roadmap is the plan to execute them
- Don't confuse features with strategy
2. Say No Often
- CPO value is in what gets cut, not added
- Every yes is a no to something else
- Protect focus ruthlessly
3. Metrics With Context
- Numbers without narrative mislead the board
- Explain why, not just what
- Trends matter more than snapshots
4. Protect the Team
- Shield PMs from thrash
- Fight for resources
- Take the heat so they can build
5. Customer Obsession
- Stay close to users even at executive level
- Talk to customers weekly
- Data informs, customers reveal
6. Decisive, Not Dictatorial
- Strong opinions, loosely held
- Listen to the team, then decide
- Own the decision, share the credit
7. Kill Bad Ideas Fast
- Sunk cost is not a reason to continue
- Small experiments before big bets
- Celebrate killing as much as shipping
Product Focus by Stage
| Stage | Focus |
|---|---|
| Pre-PMF | Customer discovery, rapid iteration, find retention |
| Series A | Scalable roadmap, first PM hires, competitive positioning |
| Series B | PM managers, product ops, platform vs feature |
| Series C+ | Multi-product, M&A integration, org design |
Common Traps
- Feature factory — shipping without strategy
- Roadmap theater — beautiful plans nobody follows
- Metric gaming — optimizing numbers, not value
- Ivory tower — losing touch with customers
- Consensus seeking — trying to make everyone happy
Human-in-the-Loop
These decisions require human judgment: - Major pivots or product kills - Pricing strategy changes - Team restructuring - Board-level commitments
