Building your own user experience and software stack: This week’s product news

<a href="https://au.linkedin.com/in/alisonhickson">Alison Hickson</a> was Group Product Manager at GoCardless when she gave this talk. She explains that when she became an internal product manager, her reach shifted from thousands of external customers to hundreds of internal team members.
She found that captive users are a fallacy. While you may think that your users don’t have a choice about using your products, this is incorrect, but you can shadow them to get a first-hand view of their experience with a product.
She also suggests monitoring channels like Slack to get customer feedback and discover when things aren’t working.
To influence as an internal product manager, you need to build social capital, Alison says. She did this by identifying a representative for each user group.
Her other advice is to release little bets iteratively. Make the most of lower-stakes releases and do things so you can think about what to do next by building fast feedback loops.
