Don’t Ship The Org Chart4 minutes read.
Ken Norton with a great post on how to split up responsibilities between multiple product managers. I love Ken's insight -- "Here’s another test: how many PMs need to be in the room?" and how he presents the need of deciding on high level prioritization to avoid local maxima, as a feature, not bug. Lastly, this is spot on: "Keep track of what’s working well and what isn’t, and be willing to change and adapt based on what you hear from the team. Remember that you’re building a product and a company."

Agile Is The New Waterfall — a Followup5 minutes read.
I recommend reading the first post by ayasin (Agile Is The New Waterfall), and then come back to his followup. As someone who've done Scrum (well, parts of it, with plenty of adjustments) for 4 years, and have some nasty reactions when hearing the words Agile or Scrum, I found myself nodding my head while reading every line of this post. It's the people and problem that worth focusing, not the damn process or current solution. My thoughts on constantly adjusting your process: "Scaling engineering org is about tweaking for flow, happiness and fulfillment. If your process is not improving one of the above, kill it."

A Better Offer Letter3 minutes read.
I feel that as a community we still have a long way to go in order to make compensation and terms more open, focusing on educating people rather than hiding details from them, hoping they'd not ask questions. Nice move by eShares.
