Four thoughts on reaping (end-of-life projects in product and business management)... Ending a service starts at birth.  Every service and commitment you add will be undone. So diary as you go, the easier to unwind later. Ease-of-EOL has value, compounded. Threads of closure are distinct. Each retirement is really multiple strands aggregated together. Each has its own plan, some more detailed than others. A few... User lifecycles. Financial contracts and payments. Supplier terms and conditions. Your own ToS obligations. Data governance. Public narratives. Employee disposition. User data migrations and portability. Shredding of secrets (yours and others'). Threads of closure are intertwined.  Unravelling has dependencies, so smooth your exit plans by checking for things that must finish before others can start. These dependencies drive retirement sequencing and affect EOL project schedule. Reaping specialists might do this better than others. More focus on EOL (preparing for and implementing endings only), more experience (few people do this more than a few times in a career unless EOL is your profession), more-aligned goals (no focus on success, all focus on extracting value and minimizing risk from the EOL process).

Two open roles on my team at Capital Group! Come if you: 1. Write. You use LLMs (not LLM's) to tell you what to NOT write, because that's all the stuff that's already been written. You would be less pained by fewer uses of the word "less" when "fewer" is right. It offends you that "inflammable" and "flammable" are synonyms. 2. Know asset management, retirement plans, and/or equities and fixed-income markets. You have a TreasuryDirect account, you know this year's 401k contribution limit off the top of your head, and it's really annoying how much you say "bipps." 3. Want to be part of a high-growth team at a $2.5T asset manager with some of the smartest, nicest (tough combo to find) people you could ever find. Any questions, planning to apply, just want to catch up... DM! https://lnkd.in/e-CSBVTV https://lnkd.in/eeSD8qvi

What's a Rewire? A rewire is when you reshape your career, energy, and time for more fulfillment and satisfaction. We started this journey by building conversations about retirement - specifically taking a holistic view that encompassed purpose, relationships, health, how you spend time, and identity (on top of the traditional financial considerations). But....as we talked to professionals about their upcoming career pivots, we saw that people wanted to ‘Rewire’ for more purpose, balance, and fulfillment at all stages.  It wasn't just about ends of careers. People can feel the pull toward a great next chapter at any time. Hence, Compass Rewire was born. Our goal is to offer the tools and support required for a smooth transition, whether it's moving into a new career phase, retiring, starting a business, or wherever your path may lead.

The Unsung Hero: The Importance of Product Retirement In the exciting world of product development, new ideas and innovations take center stage. But what happens to products that have served us well as their market evolves? This is where the often-overlooked "Retire" phase of product management comes in. Why Retire a Product? Just like anything else, products have a lifecycle. Strategic retirement allows companies to: Focus on the future: By gracefully retiring older products, resources can be dedicated to developing the most up-to-date and effective solutions for customers. Maintain brand clarity: A cluttered product portfolio can confuse potential users. Retirement ensures a streamlined and user-friendly experience. A Smooth Transition Retiring a product doesn't have to be abrupt. Here are some key considerations for a smooth transition: Clear communication: Proactively inform users about the retirement timeline and alternative options. Support for existing users: Continue to provide support until a designated date. Exciting alternatives: Highlight new or upgraded products that address evolving needs. Product managers play a crucial role in leading the retirement process. They ensure clear communication, manage stakeholder expectations, and pave the way for a successful transition.
