As more product teams adopt agile working styles, poor collaboration between Design and Product Management can harm a team’s ability to create consumer and business value. Since both disciplines feel a sense of ownership over the user experience, this overlap is what makes the relationship between Design and PM contentious at times and adversarial at worst.

After speaking with several Designers and Product Managers, and reflecting on their own experiences, Felix Watson and Terrell Cobb have come up with 3 principles that provide a path to better collaboration between Design and Product Management. In this webinar they will teach you:

3 principles that allow Design and Product Management to work together more effectively
Tips on how to foster a strong relationship between both disciplines
How to combat the challenges that arise between these two teams
