@simplybastow.com do you have any suggestions for teams that are going 0-to-1 for an enterprise product? Enterprise sales cycles need commitment to features. If the team works in a Now-Next-Later framework, it seems like you can't start the sales cycle until you have MVP. Am I wrong?

Traditional roadmaps are long gone. However, @simplybastow.com's Now, Next, Later model makes a lot of sense. You can get away with 1Q stuff in small companies. Larger companies require much more planning and need a way for departments and organizations to align. A roadmap makes this easier.

On this thought train, does anyone have any good Product Management Books they've recently read and recommend? We know the staples but we're always keen to learn more and support our product peeps. So, any new recommendations? 🙏💬👇

Letting go is hard, but it’s necessary. In fact, feature or product removal is often the smartest decision a Product Manager can make to improve focus and free up resources for what really matters. Join Stephanie Musat and @simplybastow.com to learn more in our upcoming webinar. hubs.ly/Q02Zm91V0

I'm so happy that we, like... *have* Super Mario. Like, that it exists in the form its in right now at all. I can't imagine someone pitching, from scratch, a jovial all-ages game about two middle-aged plumbers jumping around a mushroom-themed fairy tale world to a modern game/animation studio.

Science fact: due to a rare genetic mutation cats always generate a small bubble of weekend that completely envelops them. There was some research into making the bubbles human-sized. But it included making the cats human-sized, which turned out to be inadvisable. 🧪

Several years ago, I hinted to my boyfriend that I wanted a bonsai plant. He bought me a bonsai planting kit instead, so I've been painstakingly growing my own from seed since the beginning of the pandemic 🫠 The biggest, a tamarind, is ready for bending now, I think!

I work for HMRC, over 85% of those new vape shops and new barbers that are opening up on every high street in the country are money laundering operations. We know this but we don't have the resource to stop it.

What are 5 nature things that make you lose your cool? 1) Clouds. Way underrated and gorgeous. 2) Fractal patterns in plants. Love a bit of maths in nature. 3) Octopus friends are fascinating. 4) Nebulae, the clouds of deep space. 5) Neat rock formations that tell stories of our planet 🤓
