Presentation Abstract:

I am a Talent Specialist with Credit Suisse. Today I will be speaking with you about how to become a better candidate in today’s job market.  In order to achieve that I will touch on several points that will assist in accomplishing your goal. First, I will touch on the recruiting process and with that comes pros, cons, do’s, don’ts, and understanding Agency vs. Corporate. Second, we will talk about networking and why it’s good to network. Then speak about the pros, cons, do’s, don’ts, with LinkedIn, and tips and tricks. Third, we will talk about interviewing do’s, don’ts, being awkward during the interview, and having too much confidence. Lastly, I will tell you about two horror stories, one that was super arrogant and another that was just not a good experience.

Presentation  Abstract:

Product Ownership - Beyond the backlog

A great Product Owner can help organizations achieve amazing outcomes for their customers.  As more organizations transform the way they work, many Business Analysts have the opportunity to provide critical support to Product Owners or move into Product Owner roles themselves.  Successful Product Ownership is about more than just backlogs and user stories.  It requires a deep understanding of how to find the right problem/solution fit and the right product/market fit. In this session, you’ll understand the product development process and how to discover the right customer problems to solve to maximize the value delivered by your organization.
