Austin Product Events
March 1 — The Product League
Using Vision-Led Product Management to Build a Balanced Roadmap
This is going to be a great presentation by Rajesh Nerlikar based on his book Build What Matters (that I have featured before and is also on Suhas’s bookshelf).
If you would like a balanced roadmap for your product, Rajesh would love to chat with you and use it as an example in his presentation. Let me know and I will connect you with him.
