Important points:
challenges deep technology product management:
- Balance exploration and distribution: deep technology It includes ongoing scientific exploration; product Development requires a focus and a roadmap. Agile methodologies for software development require adaptations such as: deep technology Long cycle hardware.
- Management of scientists and engineers: Balancing scientists' creativity and freedom with the need to focus on process and roadmaps can be difficult.
Solutions and best practices:
- Lean principles: Adapt lean principles deep technology Optimize processes and minimize waste. This includes minimizing engineering time wasted due to inefficiencies.
- Pull-based system: Instead of pushing chip designs for manufacturing, you can implement a pull-based system where engineers can request chip manufacturing based on their specific needs.
- Rapid iteration cycles: Frequent measurement and evaluation of your development pipeline allows you to course correct and improve.
- Utilize existing rhythms: Aligning processes to your company's existing rhythms, such as refrigerator cooling cycles, can streamline implementation and reduce resistance to change.
- Stage gate process: A short-cycle, four-step process (idea, simulation, manufacturing, and cryogenic testing) allows for rapid experimentation and efficient use of resources.
- Metrics and measurements: Traditional software development metrics may be noisy, but deep technologysuccess can be demonstrated by tracking process efficiency, tool usage, and impact on researchers.
deep technology PM skills:
- deep technology PM as a facilitator: deep technology product Managers have limited direct authority and rely on persuasion and coaching to influence their teams.
- Coaching philosophy: a product The manager's role is to coach the team by providing guidance and removing obstacles that impede progress.
- The value of communication: It is important to maintain open communication and avoid bureaucracy when implementing processes.
