The Big Question

• Should Product Management/Marketing Take Responsibility for Product Success or Failure?

– Yes: The Product Manager is CEO of the product and the buck stops there!

– No: We don’t have direct control of those (engineering, sales, marketing, etc.) who ultimately impact the success!
