7 Traits of Excellent Digital Product Managers

Description:

Teams in integrated product environments often struggle to align around common vision. For many, this results in competitive, isolated environments where authentic innovation is impossible.

Achieving consistent alignment around end vision across teams, project after project, is the key to becoming an innovation engine - and it's not easy to do.

Because of their unique perspectives, engineers, designers and even their clients don’t naturally agree on most things, leading to vision and innovation breakdown. That’s where product managers come in.

As Director of PMO at digital innovation agency, Praxent, Jamie will present the 7 Traits of Excellent Product Managers and how they are the key to bridging the gap between the diverse teams of people building a product.
