Listen Later

An interview with David Pereira. David is Head of Product Management at Virtual Identity, a product development agency. He's also a prolific author and educator, and contributing editor to Serious Scrum.

We talk about a lot, including:

  • The fun and games when working for a company transitioning from a project to product-led mindset
  • The importance of meeting in the middle and making iterative progress, not aiming for perfection on day one
  • How he got his first job as a product owner completely by mistake whilst studying on an English immersion course
  • How he developed his product skills on the job through making multiple mistakes and iterating
  • The debate between Product Owner and Product Manager as job titles, and the trend for Product Owners to be hired as order takers in feature factories
  • How he got into writing over 100 articles and becoming a contributing editor to Serious Scrum on Medium
  • What he means by "The Game Being Over" for Scrum and some of the problems with the framework
  • Some of the issues he sees with SAFe as a successor for Scrum, and how it's really waterfall in disguise
  • The importance of a solid growth mindset and not going stale, and some of the ways he tries to keep ahead of the crowd
    • Contact David

    If you want to catch up with David, you can reach him on LinkedIn, Twitter or read his work on Medium.
