RT @patio11: Gail Goodman is so right: growth in SaaS is generally a LONG SLOG collecting mostly little wins. No silver bullets. #BoS2012

@pau1wa11ace the standing desk definitely helped me feel "not chained" to my desk. When my mind starts to wander, it's easier to step away.

@ameliahumfress how do you cope with the anxiety? What tools do you use to ensure you're doing the right thing for the product?

@__tosh how do you know when it's been accepted by the customer? What signals "acceptance"?

@__tosh do you do testing and acceptance as well?

@Evanish ... while others have a hand in initial design, and then work with devs until product is complete. And then they do test & accept!

@Evanish hmm. I'm in a similar boat. It's odd, pm is an interesting field: some guys are completely on the marketing side...

@Evanish do you guys have project managers that keep things moving, or is that your job?

@__tosh was just talking to @joestump about this. We're going this direction as well: a clean minimal backlog. Everything else is archived.

@cindyalvarez What do you think is the hardest part about product management?

@Evanish engineering budget? The amount of developer time available for a given feature?

@__tosh I think filtering and editing features is hard: both for features in the backlog, and features already released.
