Product Market Fit for CKAN (Autumn, 2022)
We are sharing with you the results of the quick Product Market Fit survey about CKAN that we launched last month! The survey will be a regular one to track how valuable CKAN is after each major update and after expanding the reach with new users. Our intention is to get a better idea of what worked well and what could be improved.
