Ignoring Technical Quality Will Cost You
Big Time
Every Product Manager wants their product to grow, gain users, and bring value. But there’s one thing that quietly destroys all of that: technical debt and poor stability.
Many PMs focus on delivering features fast, thinking that’s what drives success. But what happens when the product starts breaking?
📉 Slow performance makes users leave.
💸 Bugs turn into expensive fixes and customer churn.
⏳ Engineering teams waste time firefighting instead of innovating.
And when these issues stack up? A single crash can wipe out months of progress.
Why Technical Stability Matters More Than You Think
Product success isn’t just about new features—it’s about how well the product works. If users can’t trust it, they won’t stick around.
Here’s how to stop stability from becoming an afterthought:
1️⃣ Take engineering concerns seriously – If developers say something is a risk, listen. Fixing things later is always more expensive.
2️⃣ Track bugs and crashes in real time – No alerts? No monitoring? That’s a disaster waiting to happen.
3️⃣ Set aside time for performance improvements – Optimizing a slow database isn’t exciting, but it keeps everything running smoothly.
4️⃣ Define clear priorities for bug fixes – Not all bugs are equal. Have a process to decide which ones impact users the most.
5️⃣ Don’t overload the system with unnecessary complexity – Every rushed feature without proper thought adds more risk.
Build to Last
A great product isn’t just about what you build. It’s about how well it runs.
Skipping technical quality might seem fine in the short term, but when the cracks start showing, the cost will be much higher.
And by then? It might be too late to fix.
