We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this.

If you’re like me, your shopping habits have probably changed a bit (or a lot) over the last few months. I searched online for about two hours today for dumbbells to buy since the gyms are still closed, and had zero luck. Every grocery store has run out of toilet paper and flour, comfy sweats are out of stock at Target, and the wait to get into Home Depot is two hours long.

Pretty much all AI/ML customer and transactional models have been on pause for the last few months. As we speak, history is being written.
