As a Product Owner, it’s often hard to address the various problems occurring during development. As a seasoned expert, Marc Abraham from Asos will join us at Digitale Leute Summit to tell us more about his way of handling conflicts – from small frictions to an outright crisis.
Blood, Sweat and Tears – How to Manage Frictions and Frustrations in Crossfunctional Teams
We all know the stories of successful products and the great people or companies behind them. We talk a lot less about the blood, sweat and tears involved in developing these products (Hopefully, it is more sweat and tears and less blood, though).
However, whether we like it or not, frustrations are part and parcel of developing products. Marc explains the reasons why frustrations are a reality for most of us when creating products, shares his lessons learned (often the hard way) and provides you with a wide range of tools and techniques to better manage the frustrating side of product management.
