          1. 1/ When you start doing project development, you find yourself with tight deadlines, a lot of tradeoffs in quality, and money spend. You start feeling that you might be doing something wrongly. You feel that you're not delivering business value Thread 🧵

          2/ You learn about Agile, and why deliver working software as soon as possible. You adopt Scrum, but with a project mindset. So, it's a fake Scrum. It's more like a 2 weeks waterfall. Yet you adopt a very important ceremony important, the Retrospective.

        3/ Based on Retrospectives, you start questioning yourself how are you working. Why can we deliver value to the customer? Why aren't we customer-focused? You start looking for alternatives. PRODUCT! PRODUCT-MINDSET! Just burn the Project Management! 🔥

      4/ Product approach is the best. Everything makes sense now! Customer-Centric. Agile. Empowered Teams. We're Product Teams! No longer doing projects.

    5/ After some time doing Product you start experimenting that you are not able to accomplish some things because they aren't strictly related to Product

        7/At this moment you realize the importance of _Project_ Management. Project Management helps those things that have a Start and an End, instead of being continuously evolving for an End Client.

          8/ I reflected about when to apply _Project_ and when _Product_, and how they co-live on all the Development Life-Cycle. As Engineer, you need to have a good product understanding, but having project skills is way more relevant than I thought.

            9/ We reached a moment that we all are learning about how to do _Product_ but assuming that we all already masters _Project_. Far from reality We still need to learn a lot of Management approaches and how they help in different ways to impact our customers
