How Successful Product People Develop
In Product Coach, Shaun Russell’s #mtpcon Digital talk, he uses real-life examples to illustrate how product people learn and explains why some product managers develop faster than others.

Where Does Product Fit? What’s Being a CPO Really Like?
Zoopla’s CPTO Dave Wascha shares his take on the reality of the CPO role, where Product fits within the organisation, what skills product managers need to be successful, and more. Watch the session in full or read on for the top 5 highlights.
I really do believe that a lot of people think that somehow all they need to do is become the CPO and suddenly, it’ll be like Steve Jobs laying out vision, approving visions and sitting down with Johnny Ive. Dave Wascha
How Real Product Teams Make OKRs Work
Through speaking to practising product managers, we’ve learned that the use of OKRs is still relatively undeveloped in may businesses. Here we share these finding and more, including a video or a panel discussion about the findings at #mtpcon.
Hiring and Developing Product Managers
In this exclusive MTP Leader Panel, Kate Leto, Petra Wille and Saielle DaSilva join Emily Tate to share their thoughts on hiring and developing product managers.
When I look at the job descriptions now, they just they get under my skin and they make my tummy kind of like tense because they’re the same types of job descriptions that I applied to, honestly, about 20 years ago, nothing’s changed. Kate Leto
