3. Hiba Ganta, Product Manager at E-180

Hiba is the Product Manager at E-180 and is currently part of the re-launch of Braindates which facilitate the sharing of knowledge in new and meaningful ways. As an educational tool, it has helped communities rediscover the value of peer-to-peer learning. Her experience is rooted in constant experimentation with systems and processes that enable teams to successfully execute great ideas. She has unique experiences to share about her journey in becoming a Product Manager and how to successfully scale social impact projects.

Title: Prioritizing features with purpose

As a company or project that has two bottom lines, social and financial - it's difficult to know what guides product development. It's especially difficult to bring a team together to perfectly execute such a vision. Once there is a clear direction for the product - what are the next steps? I'll be focusing on the decision making process that follows, the workflow you should aim for and some of the possible pitfalls to be aware of.
