Senior Leadership and Product Management

Hear the panel discuss the answers to our Monday question - What do senior leaders need to know about product management? Including Anita and Jason teaming for a great answer on the role senior leaders can play as mentors/coaches for product management, and the senior leaders need to know that product management's number one goal is to create great products that customers and users love.

Hear why there was pretty much consensus on Finance needing the most predictability, with good discussions on who needs it (Finance and Operations) versus who wants it (Sales) and how SaaS/subscription business do not have as high as a need for predictability. 

Get our two-cents on what you would want the CEO to know about product management if you had 10 minutes with them?

And get our Lightning Round answers from every panelist on "What is the best way to engage senior leadership to further product management's cause?" Including internal marketing, under the radar team, and many great "yes, and" answers.

This week, Steve Johnson and Grant Hunter were joined by one of our largest panels to date with regulars Jason Vincelette and Robert Goldberg, being joined by returning panelists Jon Gatrell and Anita Wood, and first-time panelist Charles Topping.
