Pre-Work
1 – Read this blog post on Product Spending and Implied Strategy
Try to apply it to your last quarter’s roadmap or project/ticket list for a sense of where you’re spending your R&D. We will be sharing results during the Masterclass.
2 – Read this blog post on the Slippery Slope of Sales-Led Development OR watch Roadmapping’s Organizational Challenges
We’ll be talking about prioritization when stakeholders aren’t aligned in the Masterclass, and doing an exercise around this.
3 – OPTIONAL Additional Pre-Work
- Read What Do Product Leaders Do? or watch Building and Scaling a Product Team in preparation for our discussion of what product leaders do.
- Read Interviewing Like A Product Manager, which may get you thinking about moving up the leadership ladder.

About this Business of Software Masterclass
The jump from being a Product Manager to overseeing Product Managers/Owners is a big one. Most product leaders have little internal peer support for understanding and defining their roles. Our challenges demand fresh skills and organizational strategies, even as product-level work pulls us back into execution mode.
This Business of Software Masterclass, led by Silicon Valley product guru and author of ‘The Art of Product Management’ Rich Mironov will give you a practical approach and useful frameworks to help you lead your product management team successfully.
