# Secrets of High Performing Product Teams

Matt Schraan

June 3, 2021

## About the talk

Bringing digital products to market is messy, complex, and extremely difficult. To even have a chance at success, you need a top notch product management function. So what makes high-performing product teams tick? In this session we'll discuss the patterns and antipatterns of effective product management. Here are a few of the questions we'll discuss:

- What is the difference between Product Owners, Product Managers, and Project Managers?

- How do you foster an experimental culture within your product team?

- How do you use data to drive better product/business outcomes?
