Mind the Product

The Mind the Product conferences are run by a team of product managers who build start-ups by day and a community for their product management peers by night. The 16 talks recorded here, from 2013 to 2018, cover the craft and management side of building products.

Ken Norton talks about product management by orders of magnitude, Shiva Rajaraman about going from meh to awesome, and Mina Radhakrishnan about the art of saying no. Des Traynor covers product strategy in a growing company, Tom Chi rapid prototyping, and Ryan Singer product development tools. On teams, Laura Klein speaks on building happy product teams and Rochelle King on managing conflict.

Kathy Sierra’s Badass: Making Users Awesome, Peter Merholz’s The Experience is the Product, Andy Budd’s Design as a Competitive Advantage and Josh Brewer’s We shape our products and our products shape us address the user’s side. Nathalie Nahai presents five psychological principles of persuasive product design, Dan Lockton discusses ‘understanding understanding’ in design for behaviour change, and Paul Adams gives The Future Product Canvas and Don’t Join the Cult.
