Structure a Great Product Team

"You are not going to teach Ronaldo how to take a free kick. I don't coach football players. I coach football teams." - Jose Mourinho

As a Product Manager, you have a team of specialists at your disposal.

You're not there to teach the designer how to create a user experience.

You're also not there to dictate technical decisions for the engineers.

You're not there to direct the QA how to test a product.

Your job is to fuse the talent on the team to solve a customer problem.

If your specs are coming off as overly prescriptive, your individual imagination becomes the ceiling of what the team can ever produce.
