Designing Product Teams with Intention: Crafting your Successful Team

It’s time to give teams the same attention and craft we give our products. In this one-day workshop, Christina will share lessons from top companies in Silicon Valley that apply to anyone who functions as part of a team: equally applicable to managers and peer leaders, these approaches will make your team thrive. Awesome products come from awesome teams, so it’s time to stop doing business as usual: learn how to design a team for maximum impact.

Christina knows how to design and inspire diverse teams to work together, going all out in pursuit of a single, ultra-challenging goal - this course is an intimate opportunity to learn her proven results-forward methodology for product team design. Christina will take you into the factors that inform strategically crafted product teams, and address the core question: why do some product teams break while others thrive?

You will consume many Post-its as you explore:

• Cultural tensions facing teams
• Cadences of winning product teams
• Setting norms, and why they matter
• How to use OKRs to help teams define, tackle and realize big goals in a methodical way (leaving nothing to chance!)
• Organisational learning and teams
• Feedback for individuals and for teams: how regular check-ins can keep you on track to success

Workshop + Conference = Separate tickets

You should, of course, also join us at MTP Engage Hamburg the day after these workshops, but tickets are completely separate. Conference tickets do NOT give you access to workshops, nor do workshop tickets give you access to the conference.

To get your tickets for the conference, click here.

As this workshop (and the others we have on offer) are run in parallel you can only attend one of them, and once purchased you cannot change your workshop.
