Collaboration with Cross-Functional Partners | Hosted by Google

Building successful products isn’t a solo venture. Successful Product people master seamless cross-functional collaboration and a shared vision across a diverse team. But what this looks like in practice varies hugely across sectors, company size, and even team culture.

For this month’s ProductTank, we’ll discuss this tricky topic of collaboration with two great speakers:
▶️ Katerina Muradyan, Product Manager at Google
▶️ Nesrine Changuel, Product Coach (ex-Google, Spotify, Microsoft)

Katerina and Nesrine crossed paths during their time together at Google, but they started their journeys - and have continued them - in very different settings for cross-functional collaboration.

In this fireside chat, we’ll draw upon their experiences to dig into:

• Best practices, challenges, and strategies to work effectively with direct partners — Software Engineers, UX Designers, Managers and more
• Navigating different departments’ operating models: release cycles, planning frameworks, and the list goes on…
• Finding common ground & creating alignment using both emotional connection and strong rationale in your toolkit
• The PM of many hats or the orchestra conductor? How to understand your role in the context of the wider team

Join us for an evening of learning and discussion on how to align teams, build stronger partnerships, and create exceptional products.
