🎯 For anyone in product, tech, or leadership trying to build better ways of working
Why is it so hard to run product the way it’s supposed to be run?
In theory, product teams should be empowered to move fast, solve real customer problems, and drive the business forward. In reality? Enterprise structures, layers of management, and legacy decision-making processes often slow things to a crawl.
Let’s talk about:
✔️ Why autonomy is so hard to achieve in product roles
✔️ Examples of where it actually works—and why
✔️ What you can do to start shifting the paradigm in your org
No fluff, no buzzwords—just real talk about the challenges and what actually works.
Bonus: We’ve got food, drinks, and games on the patio, thanks to Scaled Agile and Icon Agility.
