About
There’s a struggle in both product management and parenting. In product management, the focus is on finding where other people struggle, understanding the context they’re in, and what job they need to get done. You are looking for the signs of their struggle. Then, you get to design better and better solutions for them.
In parenting, you are the one who struggles, and your flat, house or other forms of habitat (as well as your personal hygiene) will likely display signs of a struggle. Then, you get to design the family your children will grow up in.
At least that’s what I was thinking when I came up with the name for this page.
If you can identify with any of the two subjects or even both, I’d love to have a talk with you. I’ll provide some starting points and then you can pick them up in the comments. Cool? Cool!
