I've seen promising products at companies like Google and Meta grind to a halt because PMs […]

As a PM leader, I’ve seen countless teams get lost chasing vanity metrics or shipping features with zero connection to the bottom line. It’s a painful cycle.

A product-led growth (PLG) model lets users experience your product's value firsthand, immediately, usually through a freemium offering or a frictionless free trial. As a Product […]
