Bridging the Gap to Ensure Business Alignment Between Product and Dev
Shifting from a requirements approach to an outcomes approach is a difficult task. Equally how do you get developers to own the experience? The role of a product manager isn’t to dictate the requirements but often the product manager is the person to decide. How do you encourage developers to take more ownership of the outcomes and not wait for requirements? How can developers be more involved in discovery and shaping the product? Moderated by Sudev Balakrishnan, CPO for Stash, join the conversation, share your insights and probe the speakers on the elements of their talks that left you wanting more.
To OKR, Or Not To OKR
For the past few years, tech companies have been adopting OKRs as a silver bullet for a number of organizational problems.

In this session, Flavia Neves will discuss how FREENOW has navigated the OKR process, what pitfalls they tried to avoid and what they learned throughout the way.
