This should be required viewing- not just for PMs, but for the orgs that call themselves Agile while really forcing us into waterfall in 2-week sprints. Agilefall, if you will.
15:09 I would like to know Marty's opinion today after everyone in tech business is working out of the facility. It's maybe not visible yet, but according to me the co-location vs. distributed teams efficiency is not so different. Of course, depends on people in the team, however, I'm sure that the same amazing teams that were able to deliver a valuable products are still capable to do that from their own homes.
I thought the same as you. Even though I’m a strong advocate for remote working, I can see a strong benefit on co-located teams, but it depends on the people’s preferred style of working, as well as the overall environment design
Marty Cagan is a wonderful speaker and author. However, I would suggest that contractors/freelancers are painted in a bad light. Coming from a design background, I know that often an external designer can be as passionate as an internal team member, if you include them as a team member. Plus, they can often bring in broad experience. The only significant downside is that for some products there is a learning and sometimes that can be very steep.
This is definitely one of the best product talks I have seen in a very very very long time.

‘Inspired’ got me here to dig more about your talks. Thank you!
23:30 Actually, Facebook doesn't say "don't break things." Their motto is "Move fast and break things."
This should be required viewing- not just for PMs, but for the orgs that call themselves Agile while really forcing us into waterfall in 2-week sprints. Agilefall, if you will.
