This is PM Chats: a podcast about the ins and outs of product management.
Effective product management is a key factor in running and scaling a successful SaaS business. At Canny.io, we're passionate about building better products—so we wanted to put the experiences of product managers front and center.
With PM Chats, you’ll get a chance to listen in on a casual, behind-the-scenes conversation—not a formal interview. We're hearing about challenges, lessons learned, and ins and outs of successful product management, to empower PMs and founders to build better products.
