However, the reality is, there is an objectively correct way to approach this which minimises chances of failure whilst maximising opportunities for learning and course-correcting. Hear it from May, the Head of Product Growth at ZALORA, who has launched numerous products from scratch - and has the battle scars to show for it! She will be sharing with you an extremely simple, tried-and-tested approach which is practical enough for you to apply on your products even as early as tomorrow.

A Low-Tech Method to Improve Alignment with Stakeholders by Alfonso Fiore
As Boz, the CTO of Meta, famously says, "Communication is the job." And let's be honest, sometimes it feels like we're playing a high-stakes version of the telephone game where the original message starts as "strategic initiative" and ends up as "strawberry milkshake." We've all been there—leading the way through the murky waters of miscommunication to find clarity.
In this talk, I'll share a simple tool I've introduced in my projects to help limit these misunderstandings. It makes sure everyone's opinions are heard and understood before making any big decisions. Join me to learn how you can help your product management team stay clear and aligned, ensuring that important plans don't get lost in translation.
