Episode 196 Jock Busuttil, Founding Director of Product People

Fireside with Voxgig

“You're only as good as your last delivery”. This phrase may apply best to ambitious UberEats drivers, but when it comes to providing non-food based services, it also neatly fits in the DevRel and Product Managing world. We're joined once again by Jock Busuttil, for an update on his work at Product People, and to gain his thoughts on the wider product managing space (and why Product Management is starting to look more and more like product marketing). The level of crossover between DevRel and Product Management means that we not only share our victories, but also our struggles, and Jock speaks to one of the most common problems he's seen: people struggling and sometimes entirely failing to communicate their worth to those at the top. Another issue - adaptability. Context is absolutely everything, and a solution that might have worked flawlessly for one client might be devastating to another. Knowing when to make adjustments and put the “rulebook” aside is a key skill, and one that the new influx of applicants to project management roles would do well to remember. It was great to catch up with Jock on this episode, and hear what he's been up to. We hope you enjoy it!
