You want product managers to be passionate about their products, yet I agree they have to be able to maintain some distance. They need to be able to cast a clear, unbiased eye on the situation.That's where the KPIs can be helpful. If the metrics you follow are well chosen, then they'll tell the story pretty clearly.Thanks for the comment! Chris Dheeraj,
