Writing on product work that we keep coming back to, gathered from across the internet.
Every title opens the original on the publisher’s own site. We point at this writing and credit the people who wrote it. We do not host it.
Torres makes the case for a product manager, a designer and an engineer sharing the discovery work rather than passing it down a line. Her distinction between missionary and mercenary teams is the part worth testing against your own organisation.
Two incompatible ways of organising a day, and what happens when they collide in a shared calendar. Graham's observation that one meeting can split an afternoon into two halves too small to use is the line every engineer recognises.
Formats, timeboxes and the failure modes that leave a retrospective feeling like an obligation. The advice to leave with one or two improvements, each with a named owner and a way of checking, is what carries the meeting into the next sprint.
