Cooper McGoodwin - prioritization and delegating to a two year old

Long time product manager Cooper McGoodwin talks about priotizing features, delegation, and potty training his two and half year old. He and Tom also discuss the pitfalls of scrum and agile, why roadmaps are necessary but overblown, why the only roadmap that matters is the one you can keep in your head, and how prioritization should follow moral principles. Tom makes a case that bad user experience and technical debt are ethical dilemmas because people suffer for them. Cooper talks about how he needs a defensible position to make a priority decision. Tom says a lot of what we do is guess, and Cooper talks about how an OKR process leads to better data collection. Cooper tells about how he's sometimes embarrassed by his own prioritization at sprint demos.
