Effective Teams
(c) Liz Fosslien Did that ever happen you or in your team? Did it feel awkward to you? Effective teams are diverse and exchange among each other. The source for their success is that all ideas are equal and the team generates an environment that allows individuals to speak up, fostering exchange among all participants

Künstliche Intelligenz
Jura Kaffeevollautomat Künstliche Intelligenz ist immer noch in aller Munde, weil es Produkte allein durch Anwesenheit besser macht. Gewissermaßen ist kein Produkt vollständig, wenn es nicht irgendwas intelligenter macht als das Vorgängermodell. Und so braucht auch die Kaffeemaschine irgendwas intelligentes, um sich abzuheben.
Das aktuelle Gerät von Jura kann sich offenbar merken, was die Benutzer so trinken.
Irre.

Every concept starts with a con
Every concept starts with a con
Solid Product Management AdviseUnfortunately I lost the source for this quote and it’s sat in my drafts folder for more than a quarter. Still I felt like I need to write down a few thoughts about it and share it here.
Because it’s actually solid advice to any product manager or designer, in particular those that work on concepts for new ideas.
This, of course, is very different if you work in a corporate then it is for a start up. Then again, it’s only the type of people that raise a con.
One very fundamental difference the start-up has to the corporate:
- In corporate, if one person says no, your concept is out.
- In a start up, if only one person says yes, you can move on.

Magic Email
Magic Email It’s not like email has been a perfect solution ever, to start with. In fact, email has been broken for most of its existence. Imagine all the rules and filters you need to stay on top of your inbox. When Internet became popular, soon spam became popular.
Email lists were usable only before eternal September began. Just the other day somebody at my employer responded to an email list that has thousands of subscribers. And so did everybody else.
Not to mention those emails that come with a good intention and make it past all filters into your inbox. Those typically span many pages and make you feel guilty for not reading because you’re busy.
Admit it, email is broken.
With the advent of new technology, there are new solutions. Magic Email, as announced by Producthunt in it’s weekly newsletter, is something that I’m totally not sure whether it’s an improvement or total troll. Built on GPT-3, that created some bus on the Internet recently, Magic Email allows you to do two things:
a) It will summarize long emails for you. That actually seems to be a good idea for those emails you just couldn’t get around to reading full detail. At least it will tell you whether it’s worth it to invest more time and go into the details buried in long prose.
b) The much more interesting feature it is, that magic email can write text for you. You just give it a bunch of keywords a simple statement and it will extend to a long email. This is exactly that part that makes me wonder whether the product is meant as a troll. Imagine all those guys responding to an email list. Instead of replying “please unsubscribe me”, GPT-3 will write an exhaustive email basically saying the same. The same level of detail will pull much more of your time. Unless you have Magic Email installed yourself of course.
Nevertheless, the product is amazing.
Magic Email is your AI-powered email assistant that summarizes your emails and generates professional emails from brief one-line descriptions. Get through all of your emails 5x faster so you can free up more time for your important work.

GitHub’s Public Roadmap
GitHub just started to publish a public Roadmap. Not even a login is required. Product People will appreciate, this is pretty huge commitment for an organization.
TechCrunch’s article -
Protect me from what you want – 04.06.
In Softwareprojekten an sich Aufgabe des Scrum Masters gegenüber dem Team und dem Product Owner oder dem allgemeinen Management. Häufig wird die Rolle als “Beschützer des Teams” wahrgenommen. Der Scrum Master soll dem Team helfen, eine realistische Einschätzung Ihrer Fähigkeiten abzugeben und nur Aufgaben zu committen, die realistisch in einem definierten Zeitrahmen geliefert werden können. Unter anderen Aufgaben dient diese dem Zweck, Erwartungshaltungen der Stakeholder zu managen und das Team vor überzogenen Ansprüchen zu schützen. Längerfristig führt das zu einem guten oder besseren Verhältnis zwischen allen Beteiligten, mit einem Vertrauen in gegenseitige Erwartungen und Aufgaben. Ein gutes Verhältnis wiederum hilft dabei, produktiver Software zu schreiben und Mehrwert zu liefern, anstatt Diskussionen zu führen.
Die paar Worte auf einer Fliese in einem Schaufenster beziehen sich mutmaßlich eher auf rein zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen. Dort ist es aber genau so wichtig, sich gegenseitig zu verstehen.

Feature Value
K2, over dinner: “I want to have a huge pile of wood in front of my window!”
Me: “Why would you want to have a huge pile of wood in front of your window?”
K2: “So everybody who needs some wood can take some!”
He’s definitely going to be a Product Manager some day.
