4 valuable product and culture lessons from the UK’s government digital teams. This was a talk I gave for Product People in September 2024.
Product managers of software and hardware platforms face unique challenges that PMs of ‘regular’ products do not.
In this panel discussion, Hans-Bernd Kittlaus discusses platform product management with Samira Negm, Peter Stadlinger and Jock Busuttil.
A virtual roundtable discussion for product leaders and C-level roles.
We’ll be discussing:
how to measure product manager performance;
how to provide opportunities for career growth; and
the challenges of managing product managers and product owners.
34.2% of product managers said they left their previous role because there were no opportunities to grow.
In this panel discussion, Lucie McLean (Zalando) discusses growth and career progression for product managers with Jock Busuttil (Product People Limited) and Daniil Pavliuchkov (Tier).
In government, product is borne out of transparency, quite a lot of cake and a fanatical desire to serve the needs of users. Video and slides!
If you recognise the symptoms such as not being allowed to talk to customers, and my personal favourite, “screw research, let’s build!”, then you may be in product management hell.
I’m giving some more live talks in September and October. The first is for ProdPad’s regular webinar series. I’m also giving a series of four talks on Tuesdays in October for my Product Management Digital Masterclass.
