Faye is a seasoned product manager (PM) responsible for software products for close to a decade. She has organically grown her craft as a PM over that time, as the discipline itself was still largely in an emerging stage. As she likes to share her knowledge, what she has learned the hard way, she regularly mentors people starting in their journey to deliver software products.
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.
