Interesting! I’d love to see future posts exploring “Tame, Offload, Deal with, and Avoid” on real situations you’re hearing about. Great framing!

Should you continue on this thought? YES Please!

Every word here made sense and helps bring so much clarity to natural tensions at growing organiztions. You should turn this into a whole series called Product-GTM-Fit.

Thanks for all your contribution, truly priceless for folks like me.

Wow! Thank you. Reading this on the morning ride to work was a joy. The article seems to describe something I had tried to explain to my colleagues for some time now.

Great piece - really enjoyed it John.

I do think the GTM debt manifests itself in different ways and thus can be segmented more finely (eg Marketing; Sales; Segmentation; Customer service: Success, etc).

Such timely publishing on a topic (Pain? Need? Domain?) that connects strategy and the need for effective operational implementation. We really appreciate the comprehensive, systems thinking perspective that you’ve put into words in such an articulate fashion.

More on this topic please!

With sincere thanks,

Very interesting post. Really puts together why we need to combine a view of tech debt with a view of operations to understand what’s happening. Please continue.
