In the current day and age, most people know what Product Management is about when it comes to products intended for the end user. But did you know that PM methodologies can (and should) be applied to internal-facing products too?

By way of example, one of the FT's biggest tech departments develops platform capabilities. These are the foundational layer used by our engineers when they build user-facing applications. Each of our platforms is now treated as a product and has its own dedicated product manager.

Why is this important and how does the approach differ to building end user products? Answers are hiding in an impromptu interview with our Product Director, Momchil Marinov 👋🏻

We are celebrating another milestone today! The Financial Times has launched FT Edit, a new app that offers readers eight hand-picked stories every weekday chosen to surprise and inform a new group of readers. Having established a significant core subscriber base of over 1.2mn, the FT is opening its award-winning journalism to a wider audience with an introductory price of just £0.99 per month.

FT Edit will offer a selection of engaging FT stories that give a deeper understanding of today's world, including in-depth reads, reporting and analysis on world news, business, science, culture and more. The purpose of FT Edit is to provide an alternative to endless scrolling, allowing readers time to digest eight important stories selected for them each day. It will launch with the strapline: time well read.

FT research shows that there is an audience looking for a curated sample of FT journalism - people that appreciate the range and depth of its varied reporting, but who simply don't have the time to enjoy all that is on offer. This app is for them: the short of time and the curious.
