“The London Speaker Bureau Ireland Team and I had the pleasure of working with Clement Kao over the past few months on behalf of our client for an event on product adoption, in Ireland. Besides Clement's outstanding professionalism, flexibility, approachability and responsiveness, he oozed affability and it was simply a joy corresponding with him via email. Clement (the founder of Product Teacher) was booked as a keynote speaker on the topic of customer-centric product adoption - his live breakout session was broadcast online to hundreds of product management professionals and the feedback received was only complimentary. All credit goes to Clement for providing the audience with an informative, engaging, incisive and actionable presentation. I look forward to working with him again in the near future - London Speaker Bureau Ireland is delighted to be representing Clement Kao.”

PMs & Metrics: Net Promoter Score (NPS)
Product Manager HQ
See publicationProduct managers must serve both their customers and their business. Sometimes, the metrics that matter for customers conflict with the metrics that matter for business.
Thankfully, there are a few metrics that indicate both customer happiness and business health. One of them is the net promoter score, or NPS.
In this article, I dive deep into the methodology of NPS, and how to best leverage NPS as a product manager. -
Product Development Q&A and Best Practices
Product Manager HQ

Product Leadership Best Practices

Work-Life Balance as a Product Manager
Product Manager HQ
See publicationHappy New Year! Here's to an amazing 2018!
In reflecting on past New Year's Resolutions, I've noticed that I usually set productivity goals rather than work-life balance goals. Yet, I've realized that I can't be productive unless I take care of myself. Therefore, I'd love to kick off the new year with a focus on work-life balance.
In this article, I share tips on how to achieve and maintain work-life balance, especially for product managers. -
Product Manager Interview: Pre-Interview Research
Product Manager HQ
See publicationOne question that I regularly get is, "How should I prepare for the product manager interview?"
While there are tons of great resources out there on behavioral questions and product case questions, I noticed a lack of resources on how to research a company or industry as part of interview prep.
In this article, I provide a framework for how to conduct pre-interview research. -
The Gift of Product Mentorship

Critical Skills to Develop as a New Product Manager in Your First 6 Months
Product Manager HQ
See publicationMany product managers wind up "falling" into the PM role. As a result, the first few months for newly minted PMs are often filled with doubt and uncertainty.
After all, when starting a new role, don't we all wish we knew more than we did at the time?
In this article, I share a lively discussion within our Product Manager HQ community around what we wish we knew early in on our careers as PMs. -
How I Became a Product Manager

Maintaining Feature Parity Across Platforms
Product Manager HQ
See publicationOne of the most interesting challenges in product development is maintaining feature parity across platforms, especially given that today's consumers are online, omnichannel, and platform-agnostic. They expect a consistent brand and experience, even across varied form factors. In this article, I tackle the question of how to maintain feature parity.

I’m at CSUN this week, and right now sitting in the Amazon presentation on improving packaging accessibility. I love this project for so many reasons, chief among them because it illustrates how Amazon “works backwards from the customer” to understand and remove pain points in accessibility as we strive to delight customers with disabilities. Image description as ever courtesy Be My AI: “A conference room with a panel of four people seated at a table. The table is covered with a black cloth featuring the Amazon logo. Behind the panelists, there is a large banner with the word "accessibility" and symbols related to accessibility, such as braille and sign language. To the right, a large screen displays a presentation slide titled "Improving packaging accessibility." There is a ramp leading up to the panelists' table, and a projector is set up in front of the screen. The room has a professional setting, likely for a conference or seminar on accessibility.”

Last week, Asana launched our first version of agents, which we're calling AI Teammates. While they can do all the remarkable things that you would expect from LLMs empowered by work context, my favorite thing about them is that I can be extremely transparent with my coworkers about how and where I'm using agents to help with work. It's one thing to say, "btw, the first draft of this JD was written by Claude"; another thing entirely for that to be an Asana task I've assigned to a Teammate. I can bring others in, and they can see what guidance I gave, the research the agent did, and how we refined the work together, and my coworkers can then build on that. It turns AI usage from an awkward secret to a very natural, transparent way of working.

There’s been a surge of private equity interest in ABA—especially in the tech space. As someone who’s worked in both ABA and tech more broadly, I’ve seen the impact of PE firsthand—and no two experiences were the same. The first time, I was at an ABA tech company that was acquired by a private equity firm. We had a strong team, a solid product, and were building something meaningful. But after the acquisition, the energy shifted. The focus turned from long-term vision to short-term performance. Decisions started to prioritize margins over mission. That left a bad taste in my mouth. To be clear—it wasn’t that the PE folks were bad people. They were smart, professional, and well-intentioned. They just had different priorities. Their lens was financial. Ours was service-driven. And that gap created tension—especially in a space like ABA, where people and purpose have to stay front and center. The second time, I worked at a fintech company that had been PE-backed early on. This time, the experience was much more positive. Leadership had autonomy. The investors were supportive, not suffocating. The company scaled rapidly without losing its culture or values. What I learned is this: 👉 Private equity isn’t inherently good or bad 👉 The difference lies in who’s investing, how they engage, and what they care about With more PE firms circling ABA—I’m sure other company owners are getting the same kinds of calls. For anyone who's had a company acquired or backed by PE—what was it like for you? I think a lot of folks in the ABA space are fielding those calls right now, and hearing real stories helps. #ABA #ABATech #PrivateEquity #Leadership #AutismSupport #SaaS #AlohaABA

Our onboarding was trash for our first year. That was on purpose. ⬇️ Early on, we were manually onboarding users. We’d send you a link, walk you through connecting your Zoom account, and hope you made it through the janky install process. Eventually, Zoom launched their App Marketplace. We were one of the launch partners—which was great! But our onboarding was still basically: Step 1: “Go to the Zoom App Store.” Step 2: “Install Fathom.” Step 3: “…Good luck.” 😆 And that was fine, because the goal wasn’t growth yet. The goal was learning and improving the product. We were focused on one thing: Would people use it? But, more than that: Would some users come to rely on it? Would they use it day in and day out? We had 800 people in our first beta. We’d take them in batches of 50, walk them through setting them up the app. Rinse and repeat. Most of them churned :( But as we kept steadily improving the product, ~50 ended up sticking around and using it every single day. That was what we needed. It was those 50 users that showed us we had something worthwhile. People who’d actually be pissed if we switched off the servers. Everything we’ve built since started right there. So yeah, your onboarding might be trash at first. That’s okay. Just make sure the product’s not.
