As we look to enhance our ways of working and shift from project-based methodologies to product thinking, it’s easy to overlook the technical aspects of this change. Let’s not make that mistake.
In this webinar, Ken Robinson, Technical Coach, and Anne Steiner, Chief Product Coach, delve into the technical aspects of switching from project to product. What does this mean for our engineers, testers, and product teams? Equally important, what does this mean to the health, resilience, and maneuverability of our codebases and environments?
We approach these topics across the following dimensions:
- Development – new product development as well as maintenance and enhancements
- Testing
- Delivery Lifecycle
Lastly, we bring it all together to illustrate how engineering for speed + quality and the concept of “total product ownership” reduces time to market, enhances product quality, and fuels maneuverability.

A Product Owner serves as the bridge between the development team and stakeholders, steering the product’s vision and driving its success. An excellent product owner can elevate the entire product team. But how do you find the right person to take on this vital role?
Hiring external candidates with Product Owner expertise is an option, but many organizations overlook an often easier and more effective opportunity: to train or develop their internal employees for these crucial roles.
Upskilling your existing product professionals can be the most time- and cost-effective option. Plus, they offer in-depth domain knowledge—specific to your unique organization—no outside hire can match.
By the end of the webinar you will know:
- How to identify existing employees that have the mindset and institutional knowledge to successfully fill the Product Owner role
- How to determine what skills the new Product Owner needs to learn through a focused gap analysis
- How to create an environment that encourages continuous learning so that they can grow into the role and help you and your team deliver great products over time

Project to product is all the rage these days. You, your boss, or your company are already talking about this. Heck, your group has been “agile” for years now, but this next phase seems to just be a repackaging of that.
In this webinar, Anne Steiner, Chief Product Coach at Cprime, gets into Project to Product from the leader’s perspective. We explore “why we should care” and “what this really means”. Then, we deep dive into the following keys to leadership success in driving this change:
- Your help, involvement, and willingness to influence change is critical. Team-level change isn’t enough and will yield limited benefits.
- You need more than just engineering/IT buy-in to be successful. It takes the whole enterprise.
- Product management is a thing. We’ll learn what it is, how it is different from project management, and why it is critical to market domination and product success.
Lastly, we’ll leave you with some tips for success that will guide you in driving change whether you sit at the manager, director, VP, or C-level.
