Product leaders guide product strategy, empower teams, and ease go-to-market strategies. They have to be customer-obsessed. And data-informed. Definitely outcomes-oriented. Plus, they need to know who knows what. And be credible and sufficiently likeable. All while ensuring the product doesn’t go off a cliff and the team doesn’t quit for greener pastures. In this talk, Esteban will share candid insights and advice he would give his younger self - if only he could. Like being mission-driven, understanding ideas, and taking the time to lead well. His tips and stories may help you watch out for mistakes and identify areas to double down on.
This is Esteban Contreras' talk at INDUSTRY Virtual conference for software product managers on September 22, 2020. http://www.industryconference.com

A short workshop that I put together for Hyundai Start-Up Competition where the participants and myself worked together to design a product using Lean UX. A crash course that was fun, quick and engaging. (images used are copyrighted to their respective owners, drop me a line to credit if it's yours.)
Human beings optimize what they measure. If you manage the wrong metric, you will fail to achieve your desired outcome. But It doesn’t have to be this way.
The best skill startup investors have is choosing the right metric. They know that return on investment is years away, therefore they must have the ability to track progress toward the return.
If we can’t measure money and we can’t measure team productivity, what’s left?
In this highly actionable presentation, author and Startup founder Brant Cooper introduced the VALUE STREAM DISCOVERY TOOL, a step-by-step process for determining the right metrics to focus on. You’ll learn how to evaluate how customers behave throughout their journey, what tactics you might use to elicit that behavior, and how to measure their progress.
Additionally, the framework can be used to measure the progress of virtually any internal project, including innovation programs themselves!
Imagine we need to sell UX to an organization. Not all organizations have the same level of interest and receptiveness to UX. Some just don’t care.
What should we know about an organization that will help us sell UX more effectively? What sort of questions should we ask about the organization, its people and its culture? What can we learn from organizations where UX has become part of the corporate DNA? What factors can increase our chances of promoting UX successfully to an organization now and in the future?
This presentation will tap into more than 10 years of experience in selling UX into different markets and organizations. We will share the successes, pitfalls and failures.

This is a presentation I did at Failcon 2012 in San Francisco, It tells the story of ccLoop, a startup I founded in 2010.
ccLoop was my fourth startup. The first three found large markets and did well, but this one did not.
I discussed a few topics including:
- Getting the right founding team.
- Solving a problem that customers care dearly about.
- Building a product the customer can't live without.
- Knowing when to pivot and when to persevere.
- Not getting wrapped up into PR and worrying about which startups have "social proof" and which don't.

Designing APIs for Humans: Leveraging UX Methods For Develop Human Centered APIsPronovix
Application programming interfaces (APIs) are a way modern websites and applications share data with users. From sharing user profile data between services to displaying relevant information from one service to another, APIs enable us to develop a single platform of shared data. In other words… it’s about people.
This talk will walk through how to leverage the practice of human centered design to create robust and meaningful APIs that help meet users needs. We’ll touch on topics such as:
* How and why to involve a cross disciplinary on an API team into the HCD process (Engineering, UX, Product)
* What HCD methods and techniques to use in order to create a healthy API ecosystem
6 to 106 in 4 years - The story of the Atlassian Design teamAlastair Simpson
4 years ago Atlassian had 6 designers. Fast forward to today and the design team numbers 106. Building and managing a design team of this size is one thing, integrating it successfully into a traditionally engineering led organisation is another. Alastair Simpson (Head of Design — Confluence) will share how Atlassian has successfully embraced design as a first class discipline and is changing from being an engineering, to an experience led company. At the end of the session, you’ll be armed with a basic playbook for how to manage your team of designers to affect meaningful change within any organisation. Come for the practical tips about how to grow and manage design as you scale, and hear some of the road bumps along the way as we grew from 6 to 106 designers in just 4 years.
A case about how I, in my role as a design manager, how I got the team to look outside the building to uncover needs we were not filling in appropriately, not at all or too much of.

Scaling Product Thinking with SAFe - The Secret Sauce for Meaningful Product ...Cprime
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is the agile methodology of choice for many large enterprises. It promises predictable and frequent delivery in complex environments.
Our experience with organizations that adopt SAFe shows that an organization’s willingness to blend product-thinking, technical agility and a culture of learning is the secret sauce for catapulting the organization from “process excellence” into meaningful product impacts.
In this webinar, we’ll share tried and tested ways of introducing product thinking and engineering practices into SAFe organizations, covering organizational, product, and technical ground.
You'll learn:
- How to establish products as value streams and gently reorganize ARTs over time without sacrificing product community or continuity.
- How to use product stories to engage your teams before and during PI planning in a way that invites collaboration on a healthy blend of continuous discovery and delivery.
- How customer, architectural, and operational learning pave the way for scaling to teams of teams from a DevOps perspective, including patterns and anti-patterns.

The elements of product success for designers and developersNick Myers
All software, whether it's for consumers or workers, needs to meet the ever growing demands people have in today’s world. Greater user expectations and influence are forcing companies to create and deliver better products, but not every organization has a rich heritage in software creation like tech giants Apple and Google. Most companies need to be more customer-focused, become design specialists, and transform their cultures as they shift to become both software makers and innovators.
Myers, head of design services at Cooper, will share the elements of product success that companies need to possess and be market leaders: user insight, design, and organization. Myers will share principles and techniques that successful innovative companies use to truly understand their customers. He’ll also discuss the methods effective designers use to support their customers and create breakthrough ideas and delightful experiences. And he’ll finish by sharing the magic formula organizations need to deliver ground-breaking experiences to market.
This talk was given at UX Day.
Review case studies in user experience from Apple, Toyota, Charmin, and Oakley that demonstrate how good UX separated the wins from the disastrous blunders.

Scaling Product: The First 180 Days as a Product Leader - By Esteban ContrerasEsteban Contreras
Whether you are a CPO or a Group Product Manager, your first 180 days in a product leadership role are critical to paving a successful path for your team.
Knowing where and how to spend your energy is key, and having a clear plan for that is the best way to ensure that you’ll be effective.
Doing that is not easy: you need to understand and adapt the product strategy, ask the right questions, build relationships, learn about tools and processes, overcome challenges, and understand the company’s and team’s context and goals.
Fleetio’s VP of Product, Esteban Contreras, shares his take - based on his experience at companies like Fleetio, Sprinklr and Hootsuite on how to focus your first 180 days in a new product leadership role.

SXSW Interactive 2016 Keynote: Esteban Contreras - Identity and the Chemistry...Esteban Contreras
Esteban Contreras, SXSW Interactive 2016 featured speaker.
For most of our history, the sense of self was something deeply personal; shared sparingly with a handful of trusted friends and family.
Today, identity is a convergence of 3 dimensions: Personal, national & digital. Tech and culture have transformed identity into a medium of exchange.
In a connected world, context is essential for meaningful interactions and user experiences. From social media and the sharing economy — to VR and autonomous cars — the future of the human race is being shaped by hackers and painters. And everyone has a role to play.
Sprinklr's Director of Experience Design will describe what identity and the chemistry of experience mean for brands, startups and society.

Panelists: Michelle Kostya (BlackBerry),
Richard Binhammer (Binhammer Social Business),
Esteban Contreras (Sprinklr),
Frank Eliason (citi)
Panel description:
As corporate social media management matures, brands are taking their social media efforts to a new level while experimenting with different structures, processes and strategies.The fast pace and new threats posed by social media have created challenges when it comes to managing the madness. This has led to tug-of-wars across product teams, departments, regions and partners such as agencies. Empowered consumers, new technology, C-suite pressure, the proliferation of channels, and global/local sensitivities are adding to the complexity; forcing the enterprise ecosystem to adapt. It's time for brands to have a social relationship roadmap.
The panel will share insights from first-hand experience at brands like Blackberry, Dell, Citi and Samsung on:
1) how to align strategy with business goals
2) why scaling globally also means optimizing locally
3) how to integrate social media insights across the organization
4) how social media management has evolved and will continue to evolve
Other key topics to be addressed:
- How do large organizations set up an operational infrastructure to manage the complexity, volume and unpredictability of social media? What are the best models to communicate and collaborate internally, create/curate content externally, and cultivate meaningful social relationships?
- How is new social relationship technology enabling brands to manage and scale social media efforts effectively across large global organizations? And how do you navigate the proliferation of social technology?
- How important is governance and process? And, how do you get social media practitioners to buy in – when often process is seen as “slowing down” work?
- How can large brands ensure the right strategies translate to the right tactics?
- How should practitioners balance between creative and innovative programs vs. day-to-day optimization across their social channels?

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Into the Box Keynote Day 2: Unveiling amazing updates and announcements for modern CFML developers! Get ready for exciting releases and updates on Ortus tools and products. Stay tuned for cutting-edge innovations designed to boost your productivity.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

PRODUCT LEADERSHIP IRL: THINGS I WISH I’D KNOWN A DECADE AGO
Product leaders guide product strategy, empower teams, and ease go-to-market strategies.
They have to be customer-obsessed. And data-informed. Definitely outcomes-oriented. Plus,
they need to know who knows what. And be credible and sufficiently likeable. All while
ensuring the product doesn’t go off a cliff and the team doesn’t quit for greener pastures. In
this talk, Esteban will share candid insights and advice he would give his younger self - if only
he could. Like being mission-driven, understanding ideas, and taking the time to lead well. His
tips and stories may help you watch out for mistakes and identify areas to double down on.
