Most Successful Companies Get Just One Thing Right

It's not the same for all of them. But the point is, despite all the business books (case study), most have just 1 Golden Goose (ok maybe 2): a key capability, or a key decision.

cf Focus, SimplestThing, Bottleneck

Everything else is non-critical, and tends to be optimized for Other Factors.

This is part of the resistance to Change, preference/rationalization of the Status Quo. (Change Management)

This can be frustrating if you feel like your Product process is guaranteed to create mediocrity, but your company is Sales-Led (or profit-extraction-driven) vs Product-Led, or if profit doesn't even seem to matter ((2021-09-16) Big Software Companies Losing Money; Drucker on The Purpose and Objectives of a Business; Dark Agile).

If your boss is good, and you think you're learning something, maybe staying a couple of years is ok. But you're pretending your elliptical time is preparing you for Everest. So if you want to Git Gud at Game1 (There are 3 Games of Product Management), move along.

Note that I don't mean the mediocre-process is optimized for the non-product-led business. I mean that it's optimized for non-business games, like 3GM Rational Management Theater and Cargo Culting.

So the honest #1 OKR for the Product Team is "don't mess with the Golden Goose": aka "an hour of telesales-funnel downtime burns a month (or quarter) of the entire Product Team's value"

So a technical Product Manager's first priority is probably to work with devs to pragmatically put in automated testing and instrumentation to minimize Golden-Goose Breakage.
