  • Topic:Strategy

You checked every box. Followed the process. The product is your team's pride–meticulously executed. But 12 months into launch, something's off. In an era of multi-product ambitions, knowing when to kill your darling is as crucial as building it. Subham Agarwal, Director of Product at Ramp, draws from experiences at Square and Ramp to deliver a framework for sunsetting even your most beloved products. Learn to spot the signal, make the tough call, and transform the complex aftermath into future wins. Sometimes the bravest product decision isn't what to build next—it's what to let go.
