Have you encountered the challenge of delivering more features quickly with limited resources in your product? Many product managers tend to fall into the trap of becoming feature factories.
In this week's podcast, we had a conversation with Assaph Mehr, a product leader and coach, who shared insights into the analogy of transitioning from a feature factory to a garden.
Join us to learn how to adopt a gardener's mindset as a product manager, inviting people in, creating new attractions, and ensuring the consistent quality of your garden for your customers throughout the year. And let's face it, who doesn't appreciate the beauty of gardens?
