Marty Cagan gave "Product Strategy: The Missing Link" talk at Lean Product Meetup on February 13, 2020. If you're confused about product strategy, you're not alone. The vast majority of what's been published and advocated is so generic as to be useless, or else it's a case study that may have made sense for that one company, but you don't see how it's relevant to you. Yet product strategy is one of the most important topics in the product space, and is the glue that ties together company objectives, product vision, and team objectives. In this talk, Marty will explain why this topic is neglected by so many product teams. Marty will also teach you how to come up with an effective product strategy that makes sense for your team and your company. Marty Cagan is founder of the Silicon Valley Product Group. Before founding the Silicon Valley Product Group to pursue his interests in helping others create successful products through his writing, speaking, advising and coaching, Marty served as a product executive for some of the most successful companies in the world, including Hewlett-Packard, Netscape, and eBay.

Product managers drive the vision, strategy, design, and execution of their product. While one can often quickly comprehend the basic responsibilities of the role, mastering each of these dimensions is truly an art form that one is constantly honing.

Sachin Rekhi is a serial entrepreneur and product leader who has spent the last decade developing innovative products in Silicon Valley.

Sachin started his career at Microsoft as a product lead on Visual Studio, Microsoft's developer tools platform.
