I am Product designer and I found out this video also really helpful for designer to think about what should they do to work with PM. Kudos for those who involved in this content ✨👏🏼
P.S. Can't believe I found this video in 2024 :(

It's amazing how junior 'product' designers are in these scenarios. I can't believe designers are designing features without clearly articulating their rationale and intent, and the PMs are just telling them to do something without the same. The industry, even at the top level, has regressed so much in the last decade.
