About the Episode

An interview with Nacho Bassino. Nacho is CPO for Best Day Travel Group and the author of new book "Product Direction", which is a practical playbook for product strategy. Nacho is a passionate supporter of the Latin American product community, and host of a Spanish-language product podcast.

We speak about a lot, including:

  • How writing a book is a great way to really learn about the topic you're writing about
  • Transitioning from project-led to product-led, how to do it at scale and manage complicated dependencies without SAFe
  • What it's like interviewing holidaymakers, and how you can always get a captive focus group when you need one
  • Gathering insights to help define product strategy, reducing them and synthesising them into the iniatives that matter
  • The importance for product teams of building for the future and not concentrating on short term thinking
  • Important principles for building an effective roadmap to support the product vision
  • Driving alignment with multiple stakeholders and avoiding an information gap
  • How to avoid OKRs becoming just a big "to do" list via peer review and collaboration
  • The importance of investing in and providing local language content for the Latin American product community
    • Buy Nacho's Book

    Nacho's book, "Product Direction" is available in all the usual places. Check it out!
