Description
If you’re familiar with the game of baseball, you know the saying “batting a thousand”. It means getting a hit every single time you go up to bat. And no one bats a thousand - at least over the course of any real number of at-bats. Here’s the truth about product management - no one bats a thousand here either. Many products fail - or at least fail to fully meet their goals. And while we may not be able to “bat a thousand”, many companies - and product managers - are embracing techniques and practices that will help them “get a hit” more often than not. In this episode, Justin Bauer, Head of Product at Amplitude, shares insights and advice for product managers and product teams on how to optimize for product success.
