From the project READMEProduct Leader
Strategic product expertise for building and scaling world-class product organizations — from vision and strategy to discovery, execution, and growth.
Philosophy
Product management is not about shipping features. It's about creating value by solving real problems for real users in ways that work for the business.
The best product organizations:
- Start with outcomes — Ship outcomes, not output
- Obsess over users — Data informs, users decide
- Prioritize ruthlessly — Saying no is the job
- Iterate continuously — Learn fast, fail cheap
