We'll spend the fi rst few minutes gathering discussion ideas\, then roll right into the sm ooth easy cadence of the lively chatter. New to Lean Coffee? It's a grea t way to have real\, focused dialogue and we often discuss matters of ag ile\, lean and such - but anything goes. As far as the mechanics\, here' s the template: Step 1: Everybody writes down proposed topics on stickie s\, placing them in the center of the table. Take as much time as needed \, but typically takes only 3-5 minutes (or whenever coffee is ready). S tep 2: Each topic is briefly described by its writer to get a flavour fo r the subject (15-30 seconds typically per sticky). Step 3: Each person gets a small number of votes which they indicate by marking the voted-fo r sticky with their sharpie (all votes on one\, one across many\, howeve r you feel). Step 4: The top stickies are placed in the ToDo column\, or dered by the stickies with the most votes at the top. Step 5: Each of th ese stickies are discussed for 5 minutes\, most votes first. The facilit ator takes a quick "\;Cesar"\; (thumbs up/down) vote at the five -minute timer\, and she moves on for three more minutes if the discussio n still has majority interest. When complete\, move the sticky over to t he Done column. Rinse and repeat. Step 6: wrap-up thoughts at the end - what one idea or person did you most enjoy\, then break for home/drinks/ cover.\n\nTags: meetup:event=twlrjmyxnbkb\, meetup:group=Portland-Lean-C offee-and-Drinks\, software development\, scrum\, agile project manageme nt\, kanban\, lean startup\, new product development: software & tech\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250474275 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Lean-Coffee-and-Drinks/events/2477470 00/ SUMMARY:Portland Lean Coffee and Drinks - High Church of Lean Coffee LOCATION:Palio Dessert & Espresso House: 1996 SE Ladd Ave\, Portland OR 9 7214 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181106T005613Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181106T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181106T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181106T005613Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181106T005613Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474531 DESCRIPTION:We'll have two 20-minute talks\, each followed by 10 minutes of Q&\;A.

For product managers that did not have a graphics background lik e me\, "\;design"\; is an intimidating skill to tackle\, but one that is valuable when working with engineers\, designers\, and marketin g teams. In this presentation\, I will share:1) How I got started2) A co uple examples of how I used wireframes to align multiple teams to work t owards the same product vision3) Recommendations and pros/cons of differ ent wireframing software to help people get started Amy King is a softwa re product manager. she likes learning about different industries and ho w people use technology in their jobs\, then figure out how her team can build software to help people be more efficient with their work ---Supe rcharging User Engagement by Supporting Autonomy: Practical Motivation S cience for Product ManagersJahed Momand\, Head of Product Management at Conversa Health The talk of the town in theories of behavior change in t echnology center on centuries old behaviorism\, such as BJ Fogg's Behavi or Model or Nir Eyal's Hook Model. 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:20190501T144844Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190502T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190502T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T144844Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T144844Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475539 DESCRIPTION:We'll have two 20-minute talks\, each followed by 10 minutes of Q&\;A.

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.
