AI-ML Product Management: Navigating the Intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
https://fwpmi.org/
July 19, 2023
In this article, I will guide you through the complete lifecycle of a Machine Learning product and explain the role of a Product Manager within it. While I won't go into extensive detail about Product Management, I will focus on the specific responsibilities related to AI/ML products, which are outlined in this article.

Rather than discussing various applications of ML, this article assumes that the Product Manager or a business leader has already identified an application and intends to apply ML to it. Instead, I will emphasize the importance of identifying a genuine problem, as it is one of the most crucial tasks for a Product Manager in a Machine Learning project.

Lastly, I've aimed to make this article comprehensive yet easy to understand, so readers won't just save it and forget about it. Therefore, certain fundamental concepts will not be explicitly defined here. You can easily find definitions through a quick Google search or using the GPT search function.

Why Early Team Recognition is Key to Boosting Morale and Productivity?
Medium
April 12, 2023
I still remember, in the early years of agile, recognition for both team members and managers often took the form of informal, verbal praise and feedback, because Agile deliverables are quick and two weeks, most of the times we can deliver the solution for some requirements with pool proof solution by the team hard work. Agile methodologies were still being developed and implemented, and there was less emphasis on formal recognition programs or rewards. Instead, recognition was often provided in the moment, during daily stand-up meetings or other team interactions, with team members acknowledging each other’s contributions and successes.

we are glad as agile became more widely adopted by 2010 in the Organization across Projects, we began to develop more formal recognition programs and structures, such as peer-to-peer recognition, public acknowledgement of achievements, and performance-based incentives. Quarterly award nomination by the managers. However, even with this initiative in place, the emphasis remained on providing timely, specific, and meaningful nominations of team members and managers, rather than just offering generic praise or rewards.

Overall, recognition in the early years of agility was focused on building a strong culture of collaboration, trust, and continuous improvement, where team members felt valued and supported in their work, and were empowered to take ownership of their contributions to the team’s success.
