What People Say
I invited David to speak at the product management summit at NETGEAR. He covered many critical aspects of the PM role, including finding the balance between customer needs and technical feasibility, the value of direct observation to develop user empathy, and how to operate within a world of resource constraints. He also gave some candid feedback on our products! David's was the highest rated session of the summit, and the PMs left feeling more empowered after his talk.
