- Lance is a PM at Vitruvi in B2B SaaS focused on the Construction Market
- If you're not following through on success, you've really lost sight on why you build product to begin with
- The problem with trying to call something successful if you didn't establish a baseline
- Why it's still problematic, even when you grossly overachieve on your target
- How the key to following up and following through on launches comes down to learning
- The #1 method of avoiding the discomfort of not having answers when Leadership asks why you failed
- The role leadership plays in creating a culture of follow through
- Switching from celebrating failure to celebrating learning
- How there's not one specific tool to determining which metrics to track, but it's situation-specific
