Product Coffee | Caretaker or Change Agent? Know your Mandate!

Getting started is hard. How do you know ‘why you’re here’ as a PM, what your leadership is expecting, and what your product actually needs?

Whether you’ve tackled a new (to you) product many times, or this is your first, taking those first steps can be hard. Before you can get started, or even really formulate a plan of attack – you’ve got to…learn a lot of things. It can be overwhelming to even think about…’How do I know what leadership wants – from me? From this Product? What does success look like to my stakeholders? Am I being tasked with ‘turning the boat around’ for a problematic product line, developing and implementing a new growth strategy or revenue stream, or simply managing a feature list and riding this product ‘off into the Sunset’? How do I evaluate my product to determine what’s best? And…worst of all…what do I do if that assessment differs from what appears to be leadership’s current mandate?

Grab your coffee and join us – cozy fireside chat style – to delve deep into this topic with our own dear friend, and now Guest Speaker – Alex Sherman, in addition to the usual cast of caffeinated Product folks!
