In Indian mythology, the universe was created by lord Brahma, preserved by lord Vishnu, and destroyed for the next creation by lord Shiva. Product lifecycles go in the same directions with product stages like introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. In his PRODUCTIZED talk Rushil Dave from Zalando goes through main stages of product lifecycle with suggestions on how to deal with creation, maintenance and destruction of products to make sound decisions and validate them as early as possible.

Last February, Carpe Data restructured the functional organization of the product and technology teams in an attempt to improve meaningful outcomes and reflect the continued growth of the company. While some aspects of these changes had already begun to emerge organically, it was important to formally define strong and self-sufficient teams to replace what was previously one large technology resource pool that interacted in a way that was too decoupled from the product vision. This presentation explains the benefits and drawbacks associated with this change and presents the slides used to unveil the change to the company.

1. Tips and tricks to remove your own bias from your map Experiences are holistic, personal, and situational, and while you choose a point of view, as a mapmaker it’s up to you to decide which aspects to include and which to leave out. 2. Taking the risk Testing your map, assume it’s wrong, but don’t get stuck in planning. 3. Business Model and Strategic POVs are needed Realize the experts involved in creating the product will probably not be the best experts you will need to deliver the product to the users. 4. Tools to help you Understand common gotchas, and what to avoid. 5. And many more strategies Gain an outside-in view of the individuals' experience with the service.

Running experiments in your product will tell you what your customers are doing, but they don't often tell you why they're doing it. So even after experimenting, you can be left wondering: which option would be better to ship? One way that Atlassian has tackled this is by taking the "concept testing" technique to a whole new level. Get a first-hand look into how we run concept tests to extract the right insights – before a single line of code has been written. You'll learn how they can work side-by-side with quantitative experimentation to help you get smarter metrics, and have greater confidence in knowing how to take your product from good to great.

Successful Product Managers help their organizations identify and build products that solve their users’ needs. The perfect user-product fit is rarely easy. Trained Product Managers can find the right fit consistently with User Science–the craft of understanding user needs; identifying which problem to solve, and user behaviors; understanding how and why users react to products. It's this craft that arms Product Managers with the data to make informed decisions.

It is possible for a product to pass quality assurance tests and acceptance testing without being user-friendly. It is also too easy for those of us who build digital products to make assumptions about what our users need. As a design thinker, I strive to bring the authentic voices of complex audiences into the product lifecycle through pragmatic research. A sound design research process not only shapes digital products to be more usable, it also adds value to drive engagement.

1. Why it’s important (and how) to engage internal stakeholders Communicate clearly and persuasively, and align towards a common mission and vision. 2. We build tech products, but usually the hard part is not the tech, but the people. Different teams with different agendas, “irrational" decision-making, feature requests coming out of nowhere, lack of strategic direction. If you’ve read this far, you know the drill. 3. “Unpack” these problems and share battle-tested tools that have helped me in my work as a PM and consultant, and that I hope are useful to you as well. There are hard limits into what we can fix as PMs in a broader organization, but there’s also a lot we can do (and should be aware of) to drastically cut down on stakeholder alignment challenges. 4.

If we want our products to be deemed trustworthy and reliable, we need to be transparent about how we work with people’s data. In this talk, Elize will share examples of products and companies who are at the forefront of humanizing technology by applying good ethics and using kind technology. How to build more meaningful conversations with customers is key when working with recommender systems and implementing personalization features. How can you build a better and more trustworthy product yourself? By using radical transparency: give customers more control over their data, share what you know about them and how you use this information, and open up a bigger conversation between citizens and tech companies. Elize challenges all product managers to pass the transparency test: how much information should you share to help people understand your product, its features and the data you use?

What is it that Dollar Shave Club has that Gillette has lost? Serial Entrepreneur Bruce McCarthy will lead an interactive discussion on how successful product-focused organizations think and act differently every day in the networked age. Product culture is fundamentally different than execution culture. Product Culture is not a process or a tool. It is a shared mindset about why we are in business and how we go about things. Rather than focus on design thinking, agile methodologies, DevOps, or Lean, product-focused organizations focus on continuously developing, testing, and delivering products of value to customers using whatever tools work best for them. Competitors and employees alike are leaving companies with weak product cultures behind. Bruce will tell some horror stories and also some hopeful ones that show change is possible. He’ll ask you for your stories, too. Let’s stop talking about process and tools and start talking about culture. Here is a video of me delivering this talk at the Business of Software conference in London in September 2018.
