Featured Guide : Commitments & Expectation Management
This week we published a guide on one of the most important skills of a product manager - the ability to manage expectations and commitments of a wide range of stakeholders.
The hidden responsibility of a product manager is to help build trust and confidence in the product teams with business stakeholders.
In this guide we will explore the purpose of commitments, then look at types of commitments, what a head of product can do to help, what a product manager can do and how to represent commitments to manage stakeholder expectations.
