Panel discussion with author Nils Janse

  • The launch event will be an opportunity to engage with Nils and leading product thinkers — including Matt LeMay, Petra Färm and Aman Singh — on these key themes.

  • 50 min - Panel discussion

  • *optional 30mins aftershow - open mingle with all participants

About the book

  • How can you drive the thinking on what to develop, why, and how to do it — leveraging the insights from both team and stakeholders — all the way from idea to deploy?
  • This book tries to answer the above question. As part of our own product development at Delibr, we interviewed over 300 Product Managers to understand how they work and collaborate around feature development, what problems they face, and the many approaches to solving those problems.
  • "Epic alignment" describes four broad approaches that we saw help Product Managers excel.

Learning how to:

  1. Drive product development towards impact based on research.
  2. Use user stories as a shared language to align your entire team.
  3. Write feature documents that drive joint understanding and act as a single source of truth.
  4. Tackle the massive amounts of decisions needed for every epic.
