Marty Cagan advises product teams to act as one single cross-functional team, responsible for both discovery and delivery. The team performs these two core activities,&nbsp;discovery and delivery, continuously.It is an anti-pattern to split into two different groups: a Discovery Team and a Delivery Team.

Teams that do Product Discovery vs. Product Delivery

Naturally, the product manager and product designer will spend most of their time on discovery, while the engineers will spend most of their time on delivery.But you want to make sure that each member of the product team is engaged in both activities.

Product Discovery and Product Delivery responsabilities inside a team

Bad example that happens often: the product manager believes it’s her job to define the product, and then hand-off “the requirements” to the designer and engineers to implement.Fundamentally we want to avoid having one person or group&nbsp;obtain&nbsp;the learnings, and then have to “hand-off” what they learned for another group to execute on.&nbsp;The group on the receiving end is inevitably going to feel like mercenaries, and not feel like their contributions on better potential solutions would be welcomed.

Created by Dr. Andrew Weil this is breathing exercise to help you relax:  <ol><li>First, let your lips part. Exhaling completely through your mouth.</li><li>Next, close your lips, inhaling silently through your nose as you count to 4.</li><li>Then, for 7 seconds, hold your breath.</li><li>Make another whooshing exhale from your mouth for 8 seconds.</li></ol>This is one repetition. Try to do at least 4.

4-7-8 Breathing

Breathing techniques are designed to bring the body into a state of deep relaxation. Specific patterns that involve holding the breath for a period of time allow your body to replenish its oxygen. From the lungs outward, techniques like 4-7-8 can give your organs and tissues a much-needed oxygen boost.

"Ship to learn, not ship and forget" – Paul Adams

Shipping is about learning

All too often, shipping product is seen as an end. A milestone reached, a good time to move onto the next project, an even better time to move onto another team. We believe the opposite is true, that shipping is a beginning. A few weeks ago, Fabrizio and Stephen, two product engineers, joined our team at Intercom.

At Apple most people work in a matrix structure instead of a classic hierarchical one, so they may have more than one boss to answer to.When working at cross-functional stuff, you have to influence others in order to have anything done. Due to the matrix structure and the relatively flat organization, you cannot simply pull rank to demand anything; you actually have to win the other person to do what you need.&nbsp;This creates unique dynamics where everybody works on something because they agree it is for the best, and not because someone higher in the food chain says so.

Apple's Organizational Matrix Structure

Nick Lekuona's answer: Working at Apple can be very disconcerting to some people. Company culture is not like what you find in most tech companies, with an unusually strong attachment to the company, its products, brand and leaders, which detractors always depict as a sort of cult, or "drinking t...
