It doesn’t matter what your title is: if accountability for a digital product rests on your shoulders, you’re a Product Champion. You probably don’t need us to tell you that this role is complicated and challenging, but also critically important.
Every organization is different, so the role of Product Champion can vary as well. In some cases, the Product Champion has more strategic oversight. In others, it is a more tactical role. What’s important is that you establish authority, clear relationships, and a full set of resources. Once you have the right team around you, you’ll be unstoppable.
During this event, our team presented the following talks.
