Why Getting Mad in Product?
Uncertainties
  • Ambiguous product roles.
  • Multiple expectations, KPIs, and responsibilities.
  • Changing markets and methods.
Overloaded Backlogs
  • Balancing competing priorities.
  • Are we truly addressing customer needs?
  • Deadlines!?
Stakeholder Conflicts
  • Stakeholders think they can do your job better.
  • They dictate what they want and how it should be delivered.

Testimonials

"His dedication, openness, and strong organisational skills have brought Product Peers to a level of success that every participant could see. On top of all that, Richard is a kind and warm product leader who helps people grow. I'm proud of knowing him."
- Eva Hongyan Gao
Partner and not manager
"I always felt as though I was working alongside him rather than under him. He has a great rapport with stakeholders and has the unique ability to both listen to their expertise while still questioning the details in order to find the right MVP."
- Killian Fahey
Adapts to the individual
"I learnt something new from him every day, and I strongly believe that everyone around him did. He is a very talented individual whose attention to detail and ability to adapt to changes and be flexible in a wide variety of situations make him a creative resource in any environment."
- Anne Becker
