7 Blog Posts for Busy Product Managers — September 2017
Running around in circles. This is not an uncommon feeling for product managers. You have so many items on your To-do list and so many meetings to attend. You are doing important work — but it seems like you never have the time to stop and reflect on it. So let’s take a moment and stop.
Being busy does not automatically mean that you are getting important work done. Sometimes you need to step back and evaluate.
We can relate to that busy feeling. So we gave ourselves a challenge at the beginning of this September. As a team, we stopped for a moment to ask two big questions: What did we learn this year? And how will that inform our 2018 plans?
We shared some of our answers and learnings on the Aha! blog. Look back at a few of our key takeaways — ranging from the tactical to the philosophical.
Here are the blog posts that came out of that challenge:
