EVENT DETAILS |
Women in Product is proud to team up with Atlassian for a panel discussion & light food on July 25 in Mountain View.
Have you ever thought about the correlation of your own growth as a Product Manager & the growth of your company? Where do you shift focus at later stages of your career & company growth? The journey of a Product Manager differs a lot from team to team & org to org.How does team size & company stage impact decisions? How does company size & culture affect PM role & success?
The talk at Atlassian with Heads of PM at different companies will be a great chance for those with light or medium experience in the field to explore the potential performance dimensions for PMs & the matrix to assess our specific interests in different areas of product management.
Please join us for a panel discussion with product leaders & executives from Atlassian, Accel & Stripe -- with prior experience at Microsoft, Twitter, Carrot, etc. -- to hear how they have navigated strategic change at their companies. Light dinner will be served while you can connect with other members of the WIP Community. This event in Mountain View is graciously hosted by Atlassian for the WIP Community.
