Some SaaS companies utilize a mix of in-house and outsourced developers. We'll brainstorm various possible approaches. • How do you train new developers?  What approaches have been successfu l and what has been a dismal failure? - Does it make sense to hire senio r developers only or a mix of junior and senior developers? • Team / pro ject organization - Do you do daily standups? How do your organize sprin ts? How are deadlines established and by whom? Is your team in the same office or are some remote? What tools do you use (Slack\, Trello\, etc.) ? With all of the bugs\, feature requests\, UI overhauls\, when do you s hip updates to the product? • Communication and transparency - How do yo u speak to the rest of the team in a language everyone understands? Do y ou hold weekly/bi-weekly meetings to announce progress? How do you showc ase new features to clients? Coffee\, tea and draft beer will be provide d.

But\, what if you're trying to precip itate a user behavior that's complex? That happens over long time domain s? That isn't immediately rewardable? How do you support users in findin g the motivation to interact with your product\, when push notifications just won't do the trick? I'll talk about how we applied the science of motivation\, Edward Deci's self-determination theory\, to product design at Conversa Health\, for outsized gains in patient engagement\, retenti on\, and NPS. Jahed heads up the product team at Conversa Health\, an au tomated care management chatbot for health systems\, leading them to suc cessful A and B rounds of funding during his tenure. Before\, he led the product growth team at Zoomcare\, where he increased revenue and visits 240% over 18 rapid fire months\, leading up to their acquisition by Pea ce Health. Before that he worked with Dan Ariely of Predictably Irration al fame on applying behavioral economics to projects within Google\, and worked in the adtech industry applying behavioral science to ad units ( he's not proud of this work). Way before then\, he played poker professi onally for a few years after grad school\, where he completed an MS in P hysics at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign.\n\nTags: meetup :event=259938612\, meetup:group=ProductTank_Portland\, product design\, technology\, user experience\, agile project management\, startup busine sses\, lean startup\, product development\, software product management\ , ux design\, new product development: software & tech\, product managem ent\, product marketing\, technology startups\, internet startups\, pdxs w\, pdxstartupweek\, Portland Startup Week\n\nImported from: http://cala gator.org/events/1250475292 URL:https://www.meetup.com/ProductTank_Portland/events/259938612/ SUMMARY:ProductTank Portland - ProductTank Portland - April 2019 LOCATION:Jama Software: 135 SW Taylor St #200\, Portland OR 97204 us SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190405T204128Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190418T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190418T170000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190405T204128Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190405T204128Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475398 DESCRIPTION:Maybe you got to see the PIE startups pitch at PIE Demo Day 2 019.

She is adept at driving business results and has h elped companies like eBay\, Intel and Amazon grow their bottom line perf ormance. --- What can theater teach us about software deliveryDavid Van der Merwe\, Senior Product Manager at Radar I've been thinking about the similarities between software development and the process of producing theater for a while. My wife runs a theater company and I'm constantly p icking her brain about the creative process and theater production as a project that actually has a deadline (opening night). My hope is to shar e some learnings about this process and how it may apply to product mana gers when we need to deliver a full solution to a customer problem by a committed date. I'm currently a Sr. Product Manager working at RADAR bui lding privacy incident response management solutions. Like many pm's\, I grew into a product management role somewhat through circumstance\, som e curiosity\, and a desire to improve customer experiences. I was born a nd raised in South Africa and then immigrated to the US where I've worke d in web marketing\, and e-commerce solutions that served both b2b and b 2c enterprises for the last 20 years. --- Also\, thank you to our host\, Jama Software.

And ou r generous sponsors Autodesk (https://autodesk.com/) and SKB (https://sk bcos.com/) volunteered to help us make it happen. Join PIE\, PIE Shop\, our alums\, our mentors\, and the entire Portland startup community to c elebrate this milestone. As part of the celebration\, we'll be happy to feed you and provide you with a beverage or two. And there will likely b e some PIE giveaways\, as well.
