How to optimize your product team during and post COVID-19

How can we keep product teams connected, productive, and motivated?

COVID-19 is putting a big dent in growth projections for software companies. With more pressure on product leadership to support the growth and retention of customers, product teams can feel unorganized or misaligned due to changing priorities, which can have long term impacts on the product and people. 

With these issues and the shift to 100% remote culture, how can product leadership encourage their teams to stay productive, connected, and motivated? 

Join thoughtbot to learn the tools and tricks for optimizing your product team during and after COVID-19. We’ll have speakers from product teams at InHerSignt, AllStacks, Growpath, and RedHat giving their insights on monitoring performance and alignment as we all lean into our new normal.

During this panel, you will learn:

  • What’s working for teams onboarding and supporting new 100% remote employees
  • Successful tools for technical leadership focused on keeping teams motivated
  • Communication methods to help keep your team aligned and connected
