How 100 Brains Build a Product

👋 Kicking off ProductTank Autumn!

Managing a product with a team of over 100 people across multiple countries brings challenges you don’t often see in day-to-day product work. Coordination, prioritization, and alignment become very tangible when every decision affects multiple teams and timelines.

In this session, Dušan Smolnikar, product lead in United Cloud will share the experience of launching a new video-on-demand portal on the EON TV platform.

• What does it take to turn an idea into a measurable success?
• Which processes need to be rethought?
• Why does a project sometimes involve so many people?

Product managers from companies of all sizes (that's you, the audience!) will get a chance to share experiences, compare approaches, and discuss what’s unique and what’s surprisingly similar when building products of any scale.
