As product managers, we can use maps to help our teams pull apart complex problems and uncover the most valuable next steps to drive action. Maps can be applied in all areas of product management and to any problem. Examples of maps that you may have used before include user journey maps, stakeholder maps, process maps, service blueprints, technical audits and so on.

If you need to cancel your ticket, you must log in to Eventbrite and request a refund at least two weeks before the date of the event, <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/How_To/can-i-get-a-refund?">following these instructions</a>. No refunds will be issued for tickets that are cancelled less than two weeks before the event.

We cannot facilitate any requests made after the two week cut off. Our small class size is an essential part of the workshop experience and we often sell out well in advance. By transferring you to a future workshop closer to the date of the event, it is unlikely we will be able to resell your space and ultimately we lose out on a ticket sale for future events by giving you that space.Got another question?
