The product manager needs to have a “detached commitment” for creating a meaningful impact on the user’s life. > The detachment is necessary so that when signals in the data indicate a change in direction, a product manager should be able to pivot based on the latest insights in the interest of building the right experience for the user. Often, this implies shelving ideas that were previously thought to be impervious, including some of their own. That, however, shouldn’t dent the commitment for the pursuit to do what’s right for the user.
