Title:
Product or Project? Oh, my, it's both! (Bringing a product mindset to project-based teams)
Short synopsis:
The ‘product not project’ battles are endless. Popular opinions say that all teams must be product-based. Is this possible when you do project work for clients? In most cases, our teams are creating products for clients so a product mindset can be helpful. This is a new perspective for project teams. In this talk, I’ll show how to combine the best (and most necessary) parts of both the product and project mindsets, I'll talk about the steps we're taking and how we're adjusting how we work. At my current company, we solve problems for clients. I realized recently that although they are proJECTS for my company, we build proDUCTS for our clients. This changed my thinking and made me realize that I needed to share my product management skills with my team. I’m introducing new vocabulary and concepts and we approach our work differently. The lessons we're learning can be applied at companies that do work for both external and internal clients.
