Our readingWhat is a korrent?

Designers, not product managers, should own product direction, and a company can go a long way with designers doing the PM work themselves.

Drawn from what Evan Spiegel said

What these subjects mean

design How things should be made and judged: what makes a design good, who should do the designing, and what an interface is for.

product management What a product manager is for, who decides what gets built, and what happens to that job once delivery is cheap.

What is a PM for, now that building is cheap?under our view: A team needs fewer product managers, or none, because the people who build can make the product calls themselves

What Evan Spiegel actually said

  1. Evan Spiegel Co-founder and CEO of Snap Inc.
    in the early days, my view was not that we don't need PMs. My view was that designers should do that work.
