Fireside Chat: How Engineering and Design Contribute to Product Optimization

Very rarely do we get the opportunity to meet multiple decision-makers from the industry and explore what it is they do, where they're headed, and the technical motivation behind their product. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about how to optimize your product, and your product teams.

Within a Product team, in which you have engineering teams and product managers, the ability to communicate information clearly becomes a vital skill to make sure we deliver the best product possible. In this talk, we will explore some real-life examples of how communication is a key success factor and how it affects the way the product is built.
