How to use your POwer to build bridges in corporate environments and drive product success
Corporate environments can be a tough nut to crack. Many departments and roles are involved, each with different priorities to yours, and you face changes that must be navigated. The Product Owner (PO) accountability, while critical, often doesn’t wield the power Scrum suggests. You can accept this status quo and focus on managing your backlog only, or take action and leverage your POwer to meet product needs and foster productive cross-department collaboration.

Informal networks: The Hidden Power Behind Product Development and Organizational Resilience
In the pressure cooker of product development, success depends not just on processes but on the strength of informal networks—the trusted relationships that cut across hierarchies and silos. Companies that fail to cultivate these networks struggle to adapt, innovate, and deliver.
At this session, we will explore how to intentionally foster informal networks that drive product development forward and enable seamless collaboration across departments, ultimately aligning efforts with business goals - both online and offline.
We’ll start with a real-world example from a startup environment and scale these insights for larger organizations.
