ROI, Product Value, and Managing Business Demands

This workshop is for product managers and leaders who need to connect product work with what company leaders really care about: revenue... translating what we are building into how it will make money and why that work is essential to the company. We will address the real-world challenge of getting buy-in from executives for strategic investments, and keeping focused while revenue groups shift priorities and interrupt roadmaps.

Best for

  • Senior Product Managers and Product Leaders who need to influence executive decisions

  • Product professionals who want to translate features and releases into company outcomes using financial language

  • PMs looking to get important work funded and supported by leadership

  • Product leaders who need to operate at the intersection of product strategy and business outcomes

  • Anyone responsible for making the business case for customer-focused work

Morning session

This session lays the economic foundation for products, which is how our companies actually measure us.

As product managers, we like to talk about features and releases and product operating models... but executives mostly talk about revenue. How do software products make money, how do product managers actually add value, and what team/organizational models help us build great products?

< Key learnings >

  • Product managers extract more value out of engineering by investing in the right things, instead making teams work harder

  • Product teams are not professional services teams. Product companies are not professional services companies.

  • Backlogs and spreadsheets are not how we convince executives to make good trade-offs

Afternoon session

In this session, we look at solutions to the morning's challenges of infinite demand, rapidly shifting priorities, and building for long-term success.

We will learn how Money Stories frame choices for executives, how our organizations actually behave, and ways to merchandize the great work of our product teams.

< Key learnings >

  • Products have to earn their keep

  • We use the language of money to help executives make good product choices

  • We must constantly market to executives how our teams drive business outcomes
