Title: "Few tips on how to run your first Product Discovery effectively."

Although that's completely normal it can lead us to wrong conclusions about the customer problems and therefore potential ideas on how to solve them. During the presentation, Michał will provide a few hands-on experience tips and thoughts that will help you run valuable product discovery and avoid mistakes he's made in the past so you don’t have to.
For the last 10 years, Michał has developed a few educational platforms and mobile apps, run a few startups. He also took part in the Product Discovery process and Growth Phase of D2C e-commerce brand related to healthcare and productivity. He is also an instructor at Polish Product Management Academy where he teaches about Product Discovery and Innovation Development. He puts great emphasis on the data-driven, experimental approach, teamwork, and falling in love with the problem you are trying to solve.
