Why this topic matters
Too often, PMs and designers pull in different directions when it comes to PLG. But as a "Growth team of one", you need to wear both the product and design hats. The most successful products combine strong UX with smart growth. This lesson will show you how to connect these strengths, prove value quickly, and create products that are both user-first and growth-ready.
