I’m currently conducting interviews with Product Managers and Product Leaders across industries and company sizes to explore how product is practiced today — what’s working, where teams struggle, and how organizations evolve.
These conversations will inform my upcoming book:
Product Team Agility
A practical guide to helping product teams operate with more alignment, adaptability, and impact — across a wide range of company types and team structures.
If you're involved in product, I'd love to learn from your experience.
Why Participate?
Your voice matters
Your experience, challenges, and insights will help define what agility really looks like in modern product teams.
Early access to insights
As a thank-you, I’ll share high-level summaries of the key patterns and research themes emerging from these interviews.
Flexible & respectful
We can go on or off the record — your name, company, or specific stories can remain confidential if you prefer.
Spotlight opportunity
With your permission, your name and select insights may be featured in the book, alongside other respected voices in product.
Low time commitment
Just a 30-minute conversation. No prep required. It’s casual, thoughtful, and collaborative.
What We'll Talk About?
Each conversation is tailored, but we’ll explore topics like:
What’s working well in your product team’s current approach
The biggest friction points you face as a Product Manager or Product Leader — from unclear strategy or competing priorities to organizational dynamics and alignment issues
Challenges in managing software delivery teams — such as roadmap execution, tech debt, coordination across disciplines, or handoffs between teams
Burnout risks and causes — for both PMs and cross-functional teammates; how your org identifies and addresses burnout
How your team handles product strategy, discovery, and delivery
What agility looks like in your organization — frameworks, behaviors, and team mindset
Career pathing for Product Managers — how growth, mentorship, and leadership development are handled
Team topology — how your product and delivery teams are structured, how roles are defined, and how that structure supports (or hinders) collaboration and agility
Who’s Already Contributed?
My sincere gratitude goes to the Product Managers and Product Leaders who have already contributed their time and insights to this project. Their diverse experiences have helped shape the foundation of Product Team Agility and ensure its relevance across industries and team structures.
