ā€œThe examples and bottlenecks that Chris was describing were so familiar to us based on what I experienced in our organization. We do not have a product ops person, so our PMs are struggling to get alignment, better time management or simply agree on things. I felt that this course has opened my eyes on some methods on how it could be solved.ā€œ
