Product Trios: Building Better Products Through Collaboration

In this episode of The Product Handbook, we dive into the power of the product trio — the product manager, designer, and engineer working together from idea to delivery.

You’ll learn:

• What a product trio is and why it beats the old-school handoff model
• How collaboration across roles leads to more usable, viable, and desirable outcomes
• Common pitfalls that trip up trios — like unclear roles, imbalanced decision-making, or stakeholder interference
• How to build trust, align on goals, and make better decisions together

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the roadmap alone, or you want to create stronger partnerships across disciplines — this episode gives you the mindset and practices to make your trio thrive.
