as the first non-founding member of the product team. If I were forced to prioritize (as all product managers naturally tend to do) and choose the most important lesson I learned, it’s that it’s not about the process, it’s about the people.

In fact in many companies, product managers double up as project managers, ultimately defining and executing processes that speed up the product development process.

Despite the mountain of evidence contradicting the mantra of “if you build it, they will come”, it’s still extremely prevalent among product-first companies. Do they know where to go to promote their product, and how to do it once they get there?

So how does this model impact product positioning ?
