For most of us who have led product teams, scaling the team as you grow brings unique challenges. It’s a good problem to have, as they say. It means the organization and products are growing, but we must be diligent as we scale to maintain process consistency, product quality and team culture.
While speed is important when you need more resources… skillset, mindset and cultural fit are of utmost importance and simply can’t be short-changed in the process. So it takes diligence, patience and planning.
