Deliberate Decision-Making Process for Product Teams
Virtual Event Recorded on Thursday, February 15 2024
Talk Details
Listen as Chris Butler shares his perspective on enhancing your product-decision making abilities.
Every product team makes hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions per year. Some are made independently by the product manager and others as a team that require approval by leadership. Across all these decisions, we need to provide deliberate focus for each of the major stages: identification, discourse, decision making, communication, and learning. In this talk, Chris walks attendees through practices that help focus decision making and avoid common anti-patterns teams will find themselves repeating without deliberate focus.
