The annual @pcampmelb from @product_anon was another stellar success. Going from participant to #volunteer has given me a new found appreciation of the work these volunteers do. If you liked some of the work on the product camp instagram account, it was the work of yours truly. This was a jam packed day full of amazing knowledge. And the best part, it's #free - it is an insane ROI. The top 3 key things I took away (without collating notes) are: 1. Practical approaches to Product Management - going beyond "frameworks" and actually building things: 5 items in here (need time to collate them into a coherent manner), and get Ken Sandy's book - The Influential Product Manager. 2. Practical ways to scale . How to reduce complexity . Keep stakeholders informed . Keep consistent message if you're all going to blast the same stakeholders with different updates. It's on us to be an aggregator and provide updates - having "noise" from multiple teams in one department is a REAL thing 3. AI governance . Sit with people through their journey, show what can be done versus what they want. . Train everyone in the ways of generative AI, introduce them to model drift, make them aware about limitations . Cost of data is about to rise . Real value is in labelling data (done by human) this can be shared through data sharing agreements - real leverage here!! Full write up will be coming up on my blog with links to any and all resources. #pcampmelb #learning #unconference #coffee #productmanagement #prodanon #networking #learning #thedomestictraveller
