Research Updates

We have recruited a researcher to analyse the surveys, roadmap-related issues and any documentation that could provide information on the needs of the members of the product management community of practice which would help in creating a roadmap, and if there's no valuable information from the surveys or if there's information that needs to be probed further, determine if there's need for further research.

The progress of the research is documented in this issue #305

• Update slack reminders that contain the zoom link to the CoP meetings
