Enabling the Team
Main Stage

One of the biggest challenges product leaders in any modern organisation face is creating "empowered" teams. It means asking the right questions without pre-supposing the answer, painting a picture without leaving teams with nothing more to do than paint-by-numbers. It means finding the right balance between top-down guidance and bottom-up creativity.
This session will bring different perspectives from design, product and engineering to discuss their thoughts on striking this fine balance

Product Direction

For Sreemati, a great product strategy is always a work-in-progress. They should be able to adapt to the user's needs, team's growth but should always remain loyal to the user problems and company's vision.
In this talk, Sreemati will talk through Bluecalls' 6-month journey on creating a scalable product strategy that allowed for adoption and growth. She will touch on:

  • The importance of consistent company vision and measurable goals,
  • Why they used a Hypothesis-driven development methodology for the Bluecall app,
  • What challenges and lessons they face, and
  • What other future improvements can she foresee
