How to hire a product manager...

There was this blog post, about 10 years ago. The subject was "How to hire a product manager". Its one of those blog posts many folks read, and which ends up being referenced here, there and everywhere.

Interestingly, the author of it has done a retrospective post. He looks back 10 years, and examines the post and what is good and bad about it. Check it out, for the comments from some of the good and great from the world of PM, and related fields. Interesting to see folk being critical about logic puzzles. I have conducted hundreds of interviews and really always wondered what value you got by asking someone how many golf balls would fill the Aviva stadium or something. So I'm glad those questions are falling out of favour.

In open source news, Spotify have open sourced their internal monitoring solution. Now if you look into it, a large part of this solution is pulling together several different tools, mostly freely available. But it's still a great, proven enterprise toolset which is yours gratis!
