r/ProductManagement

Product managers use r/ProductManagement to work through the human side of the job: stakeholders, prioritization, discovery and roadmaps, alongside tool and course questions. We found no source that describes its promotion rules, so nothing here should be read as permission; check the pinned rules before posting. A tracker does list self-promotion among common post types, which suggests the moderators see a fair amount of it. For a SaaS team or a course creator, the opening is a process question where the method matters more than the software. Explain how you would run the interview or rank the backlog, offer a manual way first, and mention a product only as one option, with the affiliation stated.
