You often hear about the "product manager," but rarely about what they actually do day-to-day. This episode we talk with Pivotal's Jonathan Sirlin about product management using several examples of applications and organizations he's worked with. He talks in-depth about one application he and team worked on, covering the process they used to find, prioritize, and then create features and software.

Good culture: flexibility on rules (in favor of customer outcomes), team autonomy, and things like retrospectives and internal conferences for learning and community: "We can see that this prioritizes strong leadership because clear communication of outcomes and goals to the team is key. And once the team understands the goal, a good leader trusts team members to execute according to their expertise. Indeed, our research finds that more autonomy fosters trust in the leader—that is, the team believes its leader is fair, honest, and trustworthy. This trust in leadership contributes to a stronger organizational culture."
