Being a product manager in an enterprise context is different. Everyone gets promoted for launching new features, but the real strategic leverage is knowing when to kill old ones.

Retiring a legacy reporting tool used by 400 finance analysts requires more stakeholder navigation than shipping a new mobile app. You manage migration paths, retrain users, and prove maintenance cost outweighs business value. You create capacity for innovation by ruthlessly pruning what slows everyone down.

The best enterprise PMs I know are proud of their "kill list." Sunsetting is a strategic discipline, not a cleanup task.
