“Do product managers need to be project managers too? by Fabio Saccon Senior Product Manager Zalando Technology Berlin.

Let’s try to understand together why we need (or don’t need) projects in product development, in which cases can be useful (or not), and, with this premises, let’s see how we in Zalando handle product development.

In particular:

• the teams: how they work, interact, align,

• the roles involved in product development, and

• the overall product methodologies."
