ProductTank Kraków

Hello Product People !

We are happy to invite you to the next meetup during which you will hear two interesting talks followed by networking part.

Our first guests will be Weronika Burman who will visit us with her lecture:
"Building with: Lessons from building a B2B developer community"

The cybersecurity space is incredibly complex. Architectures evolve quickly. Customers come with a more and more nuanced problems every single day. But here’s something surprising: no matter how deep your technical expertise is, how great Product Manager you are, you can’t solve these real problems alone.
Over the past year, I’ve led the one of the developer communities at Splunk—working alongside engineers, admins & expert users. These folks know their domains inside and out. They've learned the hard way & they achieved a lot! They build- break -rebuild and break again.
This talk is a reflection on that journey—what it really takes to build a product community from the ground up in a B2B environment, what we've learned along the way and why investing in community isn’t just a nice-to-have.

BIO:
Weronika Burman, Senior Product Manager at Splunk (now part of Cisco). Led Community Contributions to Splunk Add-ons, as well as Automation & Tooling initiatives at Data Management area. Product Manager with 8+ years of experience in enterprise B2B products. Passionate about automation, experimentation and making our lives easier :)

Our second speaker will be Dorota Ziajka, who will tell us about
"The Product Owner Impostor: spotting the role we think we know"

We all think we know what a Product Owner does — but do we really?

In this session, we’ll challenge the myths and clichés around the PO role: no, it’s not just a backlog babysitter or a stakeholder translator. We’ll explore what truly makes a Product Owner a great value driver. Through real-life stories, we’ll unpack what happens when the role is misunderstood — and how to avoid falling into the impostor trap yourself.

BIO:
Dorota is a Product Manager at Branchspace, where she’s been shaping airline digital products for the past three years. She originally started her IT journey in finance, but quickly got bored and found her way into aviation — spending a few years at Ryanair before joining Branchspace — and has had no plans to leave the airline world ever since. She’s passionate about mobile apps, user experience, and making sure great ideas don’t get lost.
