    experience: • Worked on companies like eBay, Qualcomm, or .Tuenti • In a number of countries including Germany, Switzerland, USA, and Spain ;) • In companies dealing with e-commerce, smartphones manufacturing, location-based services, and telco I hope you guys have some fun and get some benefits from the talk!
  2. Year 2007: • Nokia mobile phone business delivered over €35B*(40%

    market share globally) • Believe it or not, it was cool to own a Nokia N76 - huh!, that brick? • Apple released the first iPhone on June 2007 • Tuenti was born 1 year before... *.Source : disruptiveinnovation.se

  4. Things change very quickly, so be prepared… Deliver & test

    as quick as you can Listen Ideate Deliver Feedback / learnings Measure KPI
  5. 1. Listening to your market • Strong link to our

    customers: ◦ Customer Care reports: quantitative & qualitative ◦ Customer research (UX dept) ◦ PMs keeping up-to-date and running benchmarks ◦ Internal dialog / brainstorms: use internal brain power (it’s really strong!) ◦ Promote idea exchange & culture of challenging anything - nothing is granted!
  6. 2. Ideating • Build your case: ◦ Shape what to

    do ◦ Justify it: ▪ Define your vision ▪ Problem/need that solves ▪ Provide facts (numbers): internal & external data ▪ Define & estimate dev project: what you’ll deliver when ▪ Get it signed off!
  7. 3. Deliver to customers quickly • So you have your

    budget to develop… yeah! ◦ Write your product specs (as user stories) ◦ Work out your UX ◦ Get your visuals when needed (normally they are in customer facing tech products!) ◦ Put your engineers to develop in agile mode, not forgetting your tracking! ◦ Be ready to ask questions and be the 1st QA rep
  8. 4. Measure and get feedback • Track what your KPIs

    say: ◦ Success / fail? ◦ Analyse & extract actionable conclusions: how to improve results ◦ Decide product evolution: ▪ New features ▪ What to remove ◦ And get back to step #3
  9. Development process management • Specs writing: (V)PRD -> engineering team

    • 2-week sprint planning • Follow-up during development • Verify • Working delivery at the end of sprint • Retrospective
  10. Common pitfalls & traps • Paralizing by analysing: a (tech)

    company is like a bicycle, if you stop, you fall down • Not defining the right KPIs for your goals • Not considering your stakeholders right and engaging them late
  11. Mistakes • Not having a clear goal • Not having

    defined what to do with enough detail • Not dogfooding
  12. Product Development in Spain / Tuenti / other places •

    Spain: ◦ doesn’t exist or very scarce at least on the tech landscape, even though it’s changing ◦ often understood as product marketing • .Tuenti: ◦ pretty much understood the American way ◦ be the CEO of your product, very linked to tech
