Slides Patrick Hoffman recently used in his discussion w/ mentees of The Product Mentor.
Synopsis: Whether you're the first product manager in an early stage company or one of hundreds in a late stage company it's important to understand different ways to organize your teams for success. In this talk we'll discuss different team structures and how to avoid some common pitfalls that arise as small group behavior gives way to large group behavior.
The Product Mentor is a program designed to pair Product Mentors and Mentees from around the World, across all industries, from start-up to enterprise, guided by the fundamental goals…Better Decisions. Better Products. Better Product People.
Throughout the program, each mentor leads a conversation in an area of their expertise that is live streamed and available to both mentee and the broader product community.
