Unlocking the true magic and navigating balance

When it comes to product teams, the distribution of folks in engineering, product management, and design often reveals an intriguing pattern. 

Design, often the junior partner in this trinity (excluding the rare design-led organizations like Apple, Figma, or Airbnb), tends to be the leanest, more often than not :(

Tech team serving as the catalyst to bring concepts to fruition, is (rightly) the strongest. BUT when these folks garner a disproportionate focus, an unintended consequence is a landscape resembling what’s called a ‘feature factory’; orgs challenged with adoption and usability, often leaving a question mark on the efficacy of all these features produced!

When the product domain takes precedence, the scenario almost mirrors a product manager's version of seeking compatibility on a social platform – swiping right to match up with a capable design and engineering team that can help them materialise their vision :)

The real value resides neither in an abundance of features nor in lofty product aspirations. I

t’s in achieving a synchronized balance. Striving for the elusive equilibrium where innovation converges with usability, and delightful experiences align with pragmatic execution must be our collective pursuit 

Because that’s where 

TRUE MAGIC HAPPENS :)
