The Art of Prioritization: The Radical Product Thinking Way W/ Radhika Dutt

Most product teams pick out prioritization as one of their hardest challenges - remote working only exacerbates this. Not only do you have to make difficult decisions, but you also have to persuade your team and stakeholders on your priorities… now over Zoom. With enough experience, priorities may seem obvious to product leaders because you’ve developed an intuition for product decisions and priorities. How do you develop the same intuition in your team? How do you make prioritization discussions more productive and less contentious with stakeholders?

This talk by the founder of the Radical Product Thinking movement, starts with how to craft a powerful vision for your product. You’ll then learn a powerful approach to prioritization using a simple 2x2 and a shared vocabulary that you can use across the organization to prioritize both strategic initiatives and tactical activities. At the end of this session, you’ll feel like the Jedi Master of prioritization, ready to exert influence in your organization by applying your vision to everyday decision-making while balancing the realities of business needs.

Key Takeaways:

1. How to make prioritization discussions less contentious and more productive.
2. How to build product intuition in your team and take on a more strategic role as a product leader.
3. How to craft a powerful vision that aligns and motivates your team.
