I was thrilled to participate in Product Aotearoa's inaugural conference in Auckland on Sept 7-8. Big thanks to David Jeames, Tas Gould, and all of the Product Aotearoa volunteers.
- Sept 7 was conference day, with 8 talks and 2 panels. I spoke about The Chocolate Cake Problem, joining a great speaker line-up: Nicole Williams, Andrew Tokeley, Bradley Scott, Para M, Bruce McCarthy, Norie Ape, Tanya Johnson.
- Sept 8 was workshop day. I delivered a half day workshop on "Product Leadership, Customer Value, and Talking About Money with Stakeholders" covering how product managers add value; customer value and internal value; and how to talk with executives in money terms about technical work.
