When agility meets ownership: the birth of change and innovation

In today’s “fast-paced”, “ever-changing”, “everything-is-important” world, product owners are often caught between the forces of chaos, conflicting priorities, and the drive to build the most innovative product possible.

In this session, “When Agility Meets Ownership: The Birth of Change and Innovation,” we will explore the crucial role product owners play in navigating this dynamic landscape.

Through practical insights and real-world examples, we will dive into the product owner’s impact on managing change versus chaos, the deeper aspects of stakeholder management beyond morning coffee chats, the importance of effective product demos, team dynamics, and so much more.

Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies for:

  • A practical guide to transforming chaos into successful, sustainable change
  • Embedding agility into their innovation processes
  • Utilizing techniques like A/B testing, engaging beta users, and prototyping
  • Effectively building and adapting products in a rapidly evolving environment.

Join us for an engaging and insightful session that will empower you to lead with confidence, foster innovation, and drive meaningful transformation in your product ownership journey.
