Transcript context
…Evals are the new PRDs. You think of a product manager as I own product strategy and delivering user value by writing a PRD. For my team, as like research product managers, the way to drive user value is to figure out the right user feedback, the evals that then can be a personification of that user need. Cuz in order to deliver that user value, it's not that exact artifact that people used to write in the last like 1 to 2 decades. It's a new way of working. And so, the first principles thinking would be, let me figure out what is the thing I should do to achieve my goals, rather than here is a set of activities that I've done and therefore I will continue to do.
