#187 Advice for Internal Product Owners

Most Product Owner advice is built for market-facing roles—helping visionary products succeed in the market. But internal Product Owners operate in a very different world.

If you're working on internal systems, platforms, or tools, you've probably felt caught in the middle—between shifting priorities, competing stakeholders, and unclear authority. And you've probably noticed that most product guidance doesn't fit your context.

In this episode, we explore what internal Product Owners actually need. You'll learn:

• Why most standard PO advice falls short for internal roles
• Three categories of practices that do work: foundational, amplified, and adapted
• Practical tools for stakeholder interviews, value modeling, assumption testing, and more

If you want to lead with more clarity, confidence, and impact in an internal-facing role, this episode is for you.
