Product Fundamentals
The Product Fundamentals podcast is dedicated to giving software professionals of all levels the core knowledge they need to thrive in their jobs. Join us for season 1, in which we unpack the deeper history of why we build software in the way we do, from the Industrial Revolution through the Space Race and on to today. Whether your role is in product management, design, engineering, or another nearby field, there should be something interesting to learn about how we work in every episode.

1.3: Management and Measurement
This episode, we take a pause from the Waterfall vs. IID rivalry to catch up on the management and measurement parts of software development.
We'll track how statistics got its start in the early modern era, through the quotas of the American Industrial Revolution and the analytical surge during the Second World War, and finally on to the rise of Management by Objective at HP and Intel.
