A PM’s Main Takeaways

TLDR? No problem! Our friends over at Chartio wrapped up the key insights and main takeaways from the day’s talks, and how they have real world applications to product teams.

“Most PMs use a lot of products and build their intuition as to what works for a user. While these instincts can be great for a rough draft of your next product or feature, instinct doesn’t give you the data you need to launch a successful product. Confidence is great, keep it, use it. But also be okay to say, “I don’t know this, so let’s test it.” Being able to shift from “I think” to “I know” is powerful.”
