Why Product Development Should Blog

Started by manalang · 9 months ago

David has an interesting, multi-post series going over at his blog about his experiences blogging. These are part of an ongoing case study that I hope will become an argument for why all product teams should blog.

    I'm about three months and 40 posts into the blogging adventure. Still a newbie, but the feedback I have received has been very positive and quite a few people in Product development are asking me about it - I have two more potential bloggers I am trying to persuade to take the plunge, one is the person who coordinated out upgrade plans and testing for R12 - hands up who would want to pick his brain?

    Blogging is not my day job - 1:08am and I just posted part 3 in this never ending series.

    @David: Kudos for staying engaged despite the additional drain on your time. I think you've been lucky to get people reading and commenting so early in the process. Without readers, blogging crumples in on itself, which is a risk when you set out to blog.

    If you blog it, people will come, just not on your schedule. Staying the course and adding a human touch to your blogging helps, so I'm told.

    Obviously we are sold on the value of development blogging in Talent. As for finding time, I think I might have personally crossed a line when I was organizing my thoughts for my next blog entry at 3am on Friday morning. Not only was the time just silly, I was only awake because I was burning up with a fever and knew I had to take some tylenol to be up at 5:30am for my youngest to have surgery the next day.

    Thanks again Jake for bringing us all on this journey.

    Indeed! Meg's posts draw a lot of traffic to TalentedApps, so I am glad she's on the staff. I'm trying to follow your advice in the future Jake, and add more of a human touch to my posts. Thanks for the encouragement.
