Product at PostHogProduct management plays a slightly different role at PostHog than at most other companies and is incredibly important.

Using the usual PM jargon we could say PMs at PostHog are very discovery-focused and don’t engage in delivery almost at all.Among other things, they:Run growth reviews for products that have product-market-fitDive into data research projects to answer challenging questions without obvious answersOrganize user interviewsProvide just-in-time product feedback for new and existing features, following our principles of shipping and iterating quicklyCoach product engineers on "how to do product"If you want to know more about our philosophy of building products, read our article “Product Management is broken.
