@zoink @lennysan The mindsets, roles, and tasks are blurred -- this is a good thing. The lines are clear when we talk about outcomes though: - A capability the market finds valuable - An interaction a user loves - A system that is fast and scalable Owner is clear. Collaboration is expected.

@zoink @lennysan SAAS PM's are really project managers than B2B product managers. For his discussion, customers are way low on the prios list (mid discussion of 1st mention)...first part was all about internal operations and org....really nothing about driving business and profitability.
