  • Worthwhile but a lot of focus on external stakeholders

    I really enjoy this podcast for new ideas and techniques. However, a lot of the sessions focuses on products that are external facing. I support internal facing applications where the customer is our company employees. I would love a product management episode where product supports customers that are internal to the company.
