back with a “5 minute Friday” audio edition

key concepts I cover in this snippet:

leadership accountability for outcomes
functional accountability for drivers
the fuzziness of product accountability
measuring the true impact of PMs
product empathy for other functions

I’d love to hear from listeners about their experiences with cross-functional accountability - please chime in via comments👇. And if you enjoyed this post, please consider subscribing.

product market fit is one attempt to gauge whether a PM team is having impact, which is a concept I’ve had mixed feelings about in the past
the idea of PMs as cross-functional leads vs feature facilitiors is a recurring theme in this newsletter
if you enjoyed this of cross-functional fuzzines, you might like a previous 5 minute Friday about Functional Fluidity
another function that has similarly fuzzy accountability for “success” is CSM, a topic I wrote about just earlier this week (and our first co-authored post)
