Happy New Year everyone! It is a time to look back at 2022 and celebrate our highs and lows. The Product Managers out there are probably pulling out their favorite retrospective framework 😉. It was an interesting year for us as well. In 2022 we wrote 21 articles on different topics ranging from stakeholder management, collaboration, and interviewed a well-respected product leader - Rich Mironov.

We normally write articles based on what is top of our mind, as we research and manage our products and the questions we get asked. 

If you decide to read just one article, I recommend reading our interview with Rich Mirinov on career advice and skills development for product people -  Where Product Managers should be investing for self-improvement and other advice from Rich Mironov - 35-year veteran of Silicon Valley, Product Leader, and Coach.
