I recently spoke with Adam Ellsworth, Senior Product Manager at Lucid Software, about why Agile and Scrum often fall short in supporting product management efforts—particularly when engineers lack product and domain knowledge. Adam shared key insights from Lucid, where fostering a more product-aware engineering culture has led to better collaboration and outcomes.

Key takeaways for Product Managers, Product Leaders, and CEOs:
• 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁: Traditional Agile assumes engineers understand the what and why, but they’re often focused only on the how. This leads to misaligned execution and makes product managers overburdened with tactical details.
• 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗱’𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: At Lucid, culturally encouraging engineers to accumulate product knowledge has resulted in more informed decision-making and less micromanagement, allowing product managers to focus on strategic work and customer engagement.
• 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆: When engineers understand the product’s mission, design choices improve, collaboration strengthens, and product managers can dedicate more time to driving vision and growth.
