TESTIMONIALS FROM COLAB MEMBERS
There is so much to learn about Product Management/leadership! Having it broken down into charts/visuals is so helpful. Good to have people in the room in person that could talk through their real life experiences too, helps solidify concepts for the good or bad! As in, it's a pity that bad examples exist everywhere also.
Senior Product Manager
I don't need permission to do something new that I think will help: just do and lead with example.
Product Manager
Working on an activity on a real example at work is very helpful.
