In any company, there are countless demands from different departments. Product teams must learn to say no to most requests in order to focus and be efficient. The constant interruptions and distractions can be overwhelming, so filtering and prioritizing is crucial. Delaying decisions often leads to less importance given to certain requests. The product managers act as the protective umbrellas, shielding the designers and engineers from too many demands. It's not always perfect, but the team brings dedication, patience, and effective filtering to allow everyone to excel in their respective roles.
