What I wish people knew about ADCOLOR is how often it was used by holding companies and agencies in presentations to clients, and in annual and quarterly reports, as proof of making progress in diversity. The clients and shareholders really thought that ADCOLOR awards were proof of exceptional progress, and didn’t press the hiring issues further. If this week’s ADCOLOR discussion was had out in the open 10 years ago, maybe the diversity hiring issues could have been tackled earlier and harder.

I’m confused by all these posts about Product Owners. I’ve worked at 3 Bay Area-based tech companies over 6 years and never heard of a Product Owner. As a product manager, i work with my engineering and design partners to figure out what to build and then build it. What role would a product owner play in all this? My honest assumption is that this role was invented by companies that want to pretend to be doing agile but aren’t really, but I’m open to being proven wrong.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
