Short post today on a concept that I think many PMs don’t grasp: good product management is all about choosing the “right” product paths, but “right” is only obvious in hindsight. I was reminded of this via a visual I found on Twitter recently. Basically, where are you now is a function of the choices you’ve made in the past, but fixating on the prior roads not taken is pointless, because there’s no wishing your way into a different past…but, many, many choices remain to be made, and that’s where you should focus your energy.
Nicely summarized. I guess the same thought-process could be applied to our life paths.

Btw... What is "handwaving" that you mention in discovery work?
