In this episode of the Secrets of Product Management, a quick look back at 2021, that leads me directly into some thoughts about complexity – the domain of product management – and some mental models that I find useful.
In short:
A quick retrospective
Leading into a discussion of systems versus goals
And then a short dive into complexity – the domain of product management
