Product Tank New Zealand - World Product Day 2023: Evolving Product Practice at Trade Me

For a Product Manager, continuous improvement on how to do your work often gets overlooked in the pace and pressure of just getting things done now.

In this video from the very first event of World Product Day 2023 our speakers will show how much value refocusing on tools, techniques and ways of working can bring to you as a Product Manager and how this change impacts positively across your product, your organisation, and most importantly your customers.

We explore:
- Why Trade Me decided to increase focus on improving Product practice.
- How Trade Me approached this through partnering with Thoughtworks
- Personal stories of what worked, what didn't and some of the surprises we had along the way
