We will email you Nicolas's answers to these questions after the event in case you can't make it.
How do you build a team that can both handle day to day customer issues and keep time for innovation/discovery?
Should CX teams and Product Management teams be on the same team? Pros/Cons?
I've worked with a few CX leaders who now have product managers reporting to them. Curious to know the benefits/risks of having them combined.
Is there overlap between PMs and the User Research function when PMs should know their users firsthand? How do you build teams with the right target ratio or support from User Research and to some extent Data Scientists/Analysts as well? Do those functions support individual teams or executives trying to understand broader trends?
What is a good product manager to engineer ratio to maintain as you scale?
How do you coordinate and work cross functionally with the product marketing team to create commonly shared KPIs?
How do you convey the importance of product management to engineering leaders who have never worked with product managers?
How do you approach building a well rounded product team?
If your PM team has only one or two people responsible for covering multiple products with complex features, how would you recommend dividing the workload in the short-term so as best to support long-term growth and expansion of the team?
What is the most effective way to scale a Product Management team beyond the first Product Manager?
Question about org structures - what does your PM team org structure look like?
How do you break down responsibilities and KPIs for product launches between product management and marketing?
Do you have any advice for a junior PM who is a first product management hire?
What is an important KPI that you see product teams completely missing?
What's your framework to prioritizing needs/deliverables when you're the first Product Manager at a company establishing the function?
