Many product management teams struggle to deal with constant stakeholder requests. Let’s get you out of that rat race by changing the conversation. In this talk I’ll help you go from “dealing with requests” to “collaborative decision making.” By working with your stakeholders instead of against them, you can achieve your product goals without the constant negotiation and flip flop changes.

Product Culture coach Phil Hornby will be speaking on Empowered to Succeed: Decision Making in Product at La Product Conf Paris.

How do we empower teams to make better decisions? We will explore how product organizations can create an environment where teams are equipped to make impactful choices, maintain focus on value, and ensure that everyone is aligned toward shared goals.

Join us for a stimulating Speaker Fireside/Q&A session with Phil Hornby, UK's top product leadership coach and founder of for product people. We will be discussing a range of topics including:

• Empowered Teams

• Decision making

• Roadmapping

• Product as a business

• Other topics from the panel and audience

Join us for an engaging and interactive workshop, hosted by Melissa Appel, author of Aligned: Stakeholder Management for Product Leaders and WIP Boston Co-Lead, where you'll put your stakeholder management skills to the test!

Collaborate with your CPO to improve the foundation on which the product team is operating. In software, having a solid platform can make feature delivery faster.

Product Culture coach Phil Hornby speaks on Going beyond the "Now-Next-Later" Roadmap in Belfast. Roadmaps are a visual tool used to communicate and align many audiences. Yet why do most of them just look so boring? Now-Next-Later is a great start in breaking bad patterns but there’s more to rethinking the roadmap. Great ones show goals, priority and optionality. They capture direction, discovery and delivery. Yet they stay simple enough for everyone to understand. Learn about 14 visual styles you can choose from to deliver the message and keep the audience interested. Let’s turn your roadmaps from dull documents into powerful tools.

What are the current and expected market conditions and what does that mean for product people (whether looking for a new opportunity or seeking to grow in an existing role)? What do companies want from product people and do product people need to adjust to meet these needs? How do you prepare for the year ahead? What strategies and tactics can be deployed to see out the current climate and thrive long-term?

Managing stakeholders is the hardest part of the job, yet nobody talks about it. In this session you’ll learn from Bruce’s mistakes (so you don’t have to repeat them) and gain the tools and techniques they’ve developed over decades in software for getting your whole company aligned behind your product’s success.

Phil Hornby will lead a workshop designed to help you create the most impactful roadmap you've ever made.
