Title: Managing Product Teams with Remote Team Members

As virtually everyone has experienced, the pandemic greatly accelerated the trend to distributed product teams working remotely. We no longer have the many advantages of managing a co-located product team. While there have been great strides made by companies in adapting to this new reality, the specific challenges of managing product teams with remote team members are often not well addresses (or not properly prioritized by the company), or simply not achieving the desired results. While there is a plethora of information available on the tactical and administrative recommendations for remote working (e.g., video conferencing technology, etc.), there is far less information and proven advice that is specific to the challenges of product management and product marketing teams.

Thus, our October 16th Product Leadership Council (PLC) meeting will focus very specifically on the needs of product managers and product marketers who are working remote. Likely topics include:

  • How do training and knowledge requirements vary for remote product teams?
  • What decisions do we want to empower our product teams to make?
  • How do we adapt core product management and marketing processes for remote teams?

Consistent with the goal of the PLC, we seek to provide a friendly environment to enable you to have conversations you can't have anywhere else about the kinds of real-world challenges you're dealing with — and providing a valuable opportunity to share challenges, frustrations, solutions, and insights with your product leader peers.

Join now during our inaugural enrollment period at no cost.
