Details
Does being in the middle of commercial and technical fights make the following sound familiar?

• "All I'm asking for is just adding a button to the page, why is it taking so long?!"
• "I have no transparency of what the tech guys are doing all day. Are they just gaming and facebooking in the office?!"
• "The sales guys keep asking for something new everyday, while they have forgotten that we are working on the stuff they asked for yesterday!"
• "Can the scope ever be fixed just for a little while until we ship it?"
  If you are a PO/PM, then you have gone through the above. Despite this challenge being a classic and nasty one, from Abdo's experience it is absolutely solvable. Enter the Pandora process: a process that brings commercial and technical teams together, creates a common language between them and brings transparency to both sides. Abdo will focus on how this process - originally developed by Pandora app CTO - can be adapted to your needs and the lessons learned from doing this quite a few times.
