They struggle with clarity and execution.

That’s what we’re building toward.

The work you don’t notice matters most.

Despite everything — layoffs, AI disruption, the endless "PM is dead" discourse —

61% of B2B product managers are positive or very positive about the future.

82% of IC PMs want more time analyzing product usage data.
81% want more time on user research and discovery.
56% want less time overseeing dev standups.

PMs know exactly what good looks like.

How B2B product teams prioritize large initiatives:

41% — leadership decides
32% — strategy and vision
13% — deal by deal
5% — RICE/WSJF

And 79% say sales commitments change their plans.

This is the dominant operating mode. Not the exception.

That's the whole game.
