At ProductPlan, we’re pretty obsessed with user feedback. We gather as much feedback as possible, intending to learn more about our diverse user base to create a better product. While hearing from happy customers is good for our egos, the less contented a customer is, the more valuable their feedback may be. Less-than-awesome experience is far more likely to shine a light on shortcomings in the product, customer support, or onboarding.
