How to Become a Versatile Product Manager by Google's PMProduct School
The pace of change in technology products is accelerating. As you build out your Swiss army knife of Product Manager skills, one key asset is an ability to be able to adapt to different types of products. Large companies look to hire generalist product managers who can navigate across product areas with ease. Some startups pivot from focusing on the consumer to becoming a B2B product. Are you prepared to be the versatile Product Manager that can be effective, no matter what?
In this session, Siddharth Bhai from Google took a look at three types of products, and discussed their distinct needs and strategies to succeed as a Product Manager in each:
Enterprise (Eg. Infrastructure/Deployment/IT)
Consumer (Eg. Apps/Websites)
Business (Eg. Sales/Marketing/Finance)
In this e-book, you'll find tips for hiring the right people into your customer success organization, including the traits your customer success managers should have, interview questions to help you test for those traits, and a sample job posting.
The process of product discovery known as "continuous discovery" is used all the way through a product's lifecycle. It moves steadily in the direction of progress. Continuous discovery aids in process improvement based on customer input and requirements, allowing the product to provide greater value and advance through time. Continuous product features inspection can aid you in this situation by ensuring that you are offering a valuable solution that genuinely solves customers' needs.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

7. Understanding why we neglect users in enterprise applications?
How to include users in the design process to deliver a better experience?
How to measure the success of enterprise applications?
9. An enterprise/Internal product is the phrase used to describe applications (or
software) that a business would use to assist the organization in solving
enterprise problems.
In house
products
B2B
products
Understanding why we neglect users in enterprise applications?
10. Enterprises never have any problems. It is the “PEOPLE" in the enterprises that
have the problem, yet the most common definition of an enterprise product is:
“A product that assists the organization in solving enterprise problems."
Understanding why we neglect users in enterprise applications?
12. Understanding why we neglect users in enterprise applications?
Internal business depend on their IT engineering to
develop business solutions
Leadership engagements is relatively high
One of the easiest models to work with
Internal business depend on their engineering to
build solutions
Too many leaders, engagements becomes leadership heavy
Requirements mostly comes through BPM
Real problems are often not captured or not understood properly
Technology is fixed even before understanding the user problems.
Less diverse cohort of users.
Business SME provide problem and solution too.
One of the most difficult models to work with
13. Understanding why we neglect users in enterprise applications?
Leadership and stakeholders' assumptions of the problem
Assumptions are not validated and are taken as the real problem
Finalizing technology before understanding the problems.
Less diverse cohort.
Business SME offers both problems and their solutions
In a
nutshell
The real users are missing from the picture or not considered appropriately.
Product Manager may not be solving the right problem.
Loud and aggressive user in the cohort.
15. How to include users in the design process to deliver a better
experience?
Leadership and stakeholders' assumptions of the problem
Use leadership as the critique, unless they are genuinely a valid
persona in the product.
Don’t take product requirements from the leadership or stakeholders.
Use data and user journey mapping to influence leadership and
stake holders to bring them back to the reality.
Assumptions are not validated and are taken as the real problem
Build and validate hypothesis through user interviews and data.
Build trust with leadership and stakeholder. It easier to say “NO”
when you have trust.
16. Finalizing technology before understanding the problems
Never decide on the technology first without knowing your customer
and their needs.
Do not be limited by the limitation of the technology, this is where the
innovation happens.
Remember, technologies are merely ways and means to fulfil
customer needs.
How to include users in the design process to deliver a better
experience?
You've got to start with the customer experience and work
backwards to the technology. ~Steve Jobs
17. Identify the aggressive users in the cohort and if possible, keep them
separate from the rest of the group.
Cohort must be diverse with representations from all persona types.
Do not ask for possible solutions, focus on problems and issues.
Always perform user interviews in isolation (one user at a time) to
get unbiased and uninfluenced feedback and opinion.
Less diverse cohort.
Business SME offers both problems and their solutions.
Loud and aggressive user in the cohort.
Never give an option (solutions) to users to chose from.
How to include users in the design process to deliver a better
experience?
19. Satisfaction
Build and integrate feedback mechanism into your
product
Depth of
Use
Is your target audience aware of the new features?
Efficiency
How to measure the success of enterprise applications?
Understanding what users are saying about your product is the key to the success.
Understanding how many of your product features are being used.
Usability is the key. It is the ability to use the features easily, correctly and as quickly as possible.
User Base Don’t measure user base or adoption, unless users have an option.
