Here is a list of criteria that a blog post should meet in order to be published on Lean Product. In no particular order: Must provide practical value. Opinions are welcome, especially if based on experience or accompanied with examples. No BS. Sometimes we do it without knowing it; It’s normal. Sometimes t’s an integral part of achieving clarity. The articles need to be reviewed for BS before posting.

Thank you for a great article. I enjoyed following your thought process especially the part about the product definition. Recently I tried to address a similar topic by trying to enumerate things that every product manager (or product owner) should know about their product just to provoke some thinking. The part where I can't quite follow you is when you look to the process for the answers about Product Owner antipatterns (How to address these issues with Scrum). The anti-patterns are real and painful and you described them well. In my opinion, the solution for these anti-patterns is not in a process of any kind, including Scrum. In fact you have the beginnings of the answer in the section about Product Goals. Perhaps another article?

Excellent article Claudia! Thank you for putting it together. The topic and the no-nonsense approach to the subject resonated with me. Value vs. volume, outcome vs. output, and importance of a succinct and articulated vision.
