Avoiding the agency trap & ADHD in Product (with Janna Bastow, CEO ProdPad, co-founder Mind the Product)
An interview with Janna Bastow. Janna is co-founder of ProdPad and Mind the Product, and inventor of the Now/Next/Later roadmap. We talk about a few things:
- How ProdPad started as an idea to solve a problem for Janna in her Product Management job and became a company serving thousands of Product Managers
- How date-based roadmaps are the devil and how to tackle management wanting false security
- The perils of building features for clients, falling into the trap of being an agency instead of a product company, and never getting the chance to solve big problems
- How Mind the Product started out and how they've pivoted to run successful events even in the middle of a pandemic (and how she misses a good flat white)
- Janna's recent ADHD diagnosis, what that meant to her, how she's managing it, and some of the advantages and disadvantages the condition brings to Product Management
