Read more
Through exercises and lively discussion, you’ll leave this workshop with a solid overview of the product management lifecycle, from the formation of an idea through to developing a go-to-market strategy and launching it into the market. We’ll unpack the never-ending challenge of project management being confused with product management and we’ll wrap with what great product teams look like and how they organise themselves.
Who’s this for?
Whilst this is great for Product Managers, Product Leaders, Product Owners, Product Strategists, and Product Marketers, this workshop will be useful for anyone that is either on a product team or interacts with a product team: engineers, delivery managers, BAs, UX or research specialists, or business subject-matter experts. You may also be someone who’s considering a transition to product management.
For those of you who feel that all you do is software delivery (outputs), this workshop will show the full potential of great product management (outcomes).

Half-day Workshop (Afternoon) Product Strategy 101
Without a strategy, the product roadmap is just a wishlist.
Read more
You’ve mastered Agile delivery, maybe even some product discovery techniques for validating your assumptions and testing hypotheses. But how do you know which product problems or opportunities are the most important to prioritise? You might have a vision for the product, but what is your strategy for getting there? You might argue that you have a product roadmap, but there is an important layer between your company goals and your product roadmap that should inform your decision making process – a Product Strategy.
Product strategy is the glue that helps you decide which problems to focus on, the bridge that connects the product roadmap to the company’s strategy or goals.
Come experience the creation of a product strategy. In this highly interactive workshop, you’ll not only learn the basics of product strategy, but we’ll practise the step by step process to create one, based on either an idea you have or your own company’s product.
Who’s this for?
Product Leaders, Product Owners, Product Strategists, Product Managers, Product Marketers, UX or research specialists, Project Managers, Business Analysts, Business subject-matter experts in product teams, or anyone aspiring to these roles.
