Keynote by Christina Schreck and myself presented at Productized Conference Lisbon. Maintaining a healthy product culture needs active care once your organization grows. We share practical examples of our work at XING for how to address two very important aspects for XING's growing team of product managers: - Learning: How to make sure that all product people get better every day? - Alignment: How to make sure that various product initiatives across a growing organization are well aligned without sacrificing team autonomy & agile ways of working?
