Prioritization and decision making
Hi! This lesson is about making decisions and prioritizing tasks. A Product Manager is expected to always know what needs to be done in order for the product to succeed, and most importantly, that he or she can clearly explain the process.

The team is waiting, management is waiting, and the users are waiting. We hope that you meet or exceed their expectations! Let's go! :)
