Intelligence, Decisions, and Data: The Golden Triangle of Product Management in the New Age of Analytics
After the year 2000, the software industry entered a new era. Products that were once built only for internal company use gradually turned into products used directly by people. This change was not just technical—it also changed the way we think about building software(applications). The goal was no longer just delivering a project. Learning from…
Russian Roulette from Top Management to the Product Team
In the world of product development, everything starts with a decision — a decision about what should be built.

The Product Owner is one of the most essential and important roles in the Scrum framework and the Agile world. This role is responsible for maximizing the product’s value for both users and the organization and guiding the team in the right direction. However, in practice, this role is not always simple. Differences in products,…
The Three Overlooked Pillars of a Successful Scrum Team
Not long ago, I revisited the first chapter of Facilitating Professional Scrum Teams. What stood out to me wasn’t just what was said—but how simply and clearly the author emphasized three essential elements that are often missing in real-world teams. Imagine a group of people rowing a boat. If everyone rows in their own rhythm,…
