Peter F. Drucker is famous for having stated: "The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself."

If this assertion is true, then #productmanagement and #marketing have a great deal of overlap.

Overheard on the #productmanagement interwebs: "Customer feedback should guide product development decisions."

No, product strategy should guide product development decisions, and customer feedback either informs the strategy or the implementation of the strategy.

A reminder of questions #productmanagement should answer when someone requests a product roadmap:

1. What problem do they think it would solve to have one?
2. Is a roadmap the best solution to the problem?
