What we’re about
ProductTank Auckland is for anyone with an interest in product management. This could include product managers (at large organisations such as telcos or banks, at global software businesses based in Auckland or startups) those who want to get into it, or the generally curious. Product managers have to wear many hats but there are good practices that we can call on to do our jobs better, so let's get together to share war stories and take product management in NZ to the next level.
ProductTank is a global network of meetups and provides an opportunity for Product Managers to exchange ideas and experiences about Product Design, Development and Management, Business Modelling, Metrics, User Experience and all the other things that get us excited.
Events include talks from guest speakers on topics around product management, networking opportunities, and a good old-fashioned chin-wag over a beer or two.
We're open to companies big and small. We also welcome early-stage technology businesses looking to learn how to get their ideas off the ground.
ProductTank Auckland is brought to you by Product Aotearoa which brings together product people from across the country. You can connect with fellow Kiwi product people by joining our Slack channel here.
We also have a blog and encourage the community to get engaged by commenting on or writing new posts for http://www.mindtheproduct.com
Finally, check out our annual conferences in San Francisco and London: http://mtpcon.com

See all- Owning the Financials - The Future of Product Management?Auror Auckland CBD, Auckland
Should product managers own the financial outcomes of their products? We like to talk about how our role sits at the centre of product development, but are we really across all of the moving parts that go into creating and monetising value for our customers? What would the world look like if we were - and how do product managers learn the skills required? Join Corinna, Anthony and Vivek as they explore these questions and more in a bid to describe just what commercial acumen is required for the role.
