IN-PERSON: Teaching product teams to ‘fish for themselves’.

Teaching product teams to ‘fish for themselves’. Strategies to raise design maturity within your product teams

Product managers are facing many pressures and lack the time and often the resources to ensure successful product development. With UX being an important capability but often under-resourced, this talk will provide tips and strategies to empower product teams, raise their UX maturity and practice, and head toward building the right products.

More details:
Product managers are going through a rough journey - their responsibilities are increasing, markets and stakeholders are demanding more faster, and talent is a constant battle. There’s just not enough time. In addition, design and UX is a core recipe to alleviate some of the above pressures yet such capability is often under-invested or under-resourced.

So how can product managers and product teams increase their chances of building the right products?

Amir will share his learnings, strategies, and tips that have helped organisations facing similar changes to build better products.
