Product Owner @ From October 2015 to Present (3 months) Sydney, AustraliaProduct Manager @ Reporting to the CEO, I look after the Datalicious product portfolio, which consists of a Tag Management System (SuperTag), and a cross-channel predictive analytics and segmentation platform (OptimaHub). I am responsible for turning vision into strategy and a clear roadmap. A big fan of the lean startup methodology, I try and use lean canvas as often as possible to define the product and major features to be built. I work with a distributed team of front-end, back-end, and mobile developers based in Sydney, the Philippines, Poland, Greece and Germany. Keeping everyone on the same page can be challenging, and we use lots of tools to help us with that, such as Trello, Confluence, GitHub and Slack. Agile is the company's DNA, but we've made some steps towards formalizing it, introducing bi-weekly planning and sprints, morning stand-ups (I admit "morning"​ is a bit arbitrary with that many time zones) and user stories as requirements. Our products are SaaS, so naturally we make use of some of the more popular cloud and big data stacks out there (e.g. AWS, Google Cloud Services). I work closely with the Marketing and Sales teams, writing blog posts for new features, providing training, and recording educational videos. I do product demos for prospects, and help with the solution design as required throughout the sales cycle. Product pricing is part of my responsibilities, and I've been working with the Sales team on introducing a simple and transparent model to easily on-board prospects. While staying focused on our product and customers, I keep competitors on our radar by conducting on-going research, and identifying key challengers early on.
