We've heard some interesting feedback since we published the first volume of this supplement in March. Most important was the fact that many of you used it-and some of our other supplements-as training tools for new product managers or for those aspiring to such positions. With that in mind, we're covering the remainder of the subjects you identified as most pressing in last spring's survey at a more basic level than we usually do.
