Rodrigo, what strikes me most about Faye's methodology is the gardening metaphor. It’s a refreshing perspective that sheds light on the necessity of nurturing not just the immediate tasks but the entire ecosystem surrounding a product. This holistic approach is crucial yet often overlooked in the hustle of ticking off deliverables. It’s a reminder that software products, much like gardens, require constant care and attention to their environment to thrive sustainably. This angle not only enriches our understanding of product management but also emphasises the importance of balance and foresight in the craft.

Thanks for the nice comment, Rob. I believe on a product management that takes full ownership, while recognizes the expertise of others to co-lead. It wasn't the angle of the post, so I didn't explicitly mentioned it, but the implication of that approach, for instance, is an engineering lead that works closely with the PM to surface all the underlying technical aspects that needs taking care. And the role of the PM is to properly balance all those demands.
