Great discussion, but please please have a fixed background as its distracting

[@okbrothikhai]

Wish every Prod. Management vertical in all the companies think on these lines and not convolute the sanctity of PM role with Project management and Program Management. Great discussion. !

[@kalyanchakravarthy7904]

Great content. Liked it

[@maheshpatil1577]

Suggestion - keep the background of the video static. It's very annoying to see the paper GIF background.

[@El_Maestro10x]

I don’t think product management is hard as a discipline. The interviews though are another thing altogether!
