Top Founders · Product vs. Engineering: The surprising way to create alignment in 2023 · 11 Jul 2023 podcast

Thank you.

Does anyone have any questions?

Yes.

How do you set deadlines?

How do we set deadlines?

Great question.

Yes, how do you set deadlines?

I have time for Q&A, right?

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

Are these deadlines for when the product team has to have the designs ready or when the feature has to be launched to production?

So the person in the middle who is the person... So we've dealt with product managers who have not had any technical coding experience in the sense that they don't understand how long it takes to build certain features or don't know their product inside and out.

I'm the CTO.

I was the first person on the team to develop their product, and I've been able to keep my hands really dirty in development, so I know...

kind of how long something can take and can think about the architecture.

When I wasn't a part of those decisions in the last year, it was really hard for the product team to think about deadlines.

So they would actually rely on engineering, show them the designs and say, hey, can you come back to me within a week and let us know how long this would take?

If it was under...

Like if it was falling in between the right deadlines and the product team was happy, sometimes we also missed those deadlines because there were delays that came about or they overestimated the deadline or they thought that it would take too much longer.

And that was the case because there was too much work and then they would have to simplify the feature to be able to get it by the time that the product team wanted it to be.
