Fluxible Meetup with Michael Mackuliak

Brown bag lunch: Partnering with product management

12:00pm – 1:00pm EST Friday 20 Sep 2019Communitech Hub - Area 151

Maybe you sit next to one. Maybe they’re a couple of desks over. You might have even encountered one on your team. You’ll often see them frantically editing Powerpoint slides and adjusting calendars. They get excited when you say framework and throw parties when someone updates Jira... 

Product Managers. 

Besides frameworks and presentations, what do they actually do? How do you establish a good working relationship with them? As a product manager and leader for over 10 years, I’ll walk you through what product management is, how we think about the world, and the internal pressures we face. I’ll share tips and stories that will help you work with your product counterparts and create awesome products your customers will love.
