How Facebook and Google build great products
August 2, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
What does it take to build great products?
In today’s competitive landscape, great design, rapid iteration, a nice onboarding flow, etc. are all considered basics. The challenge that we now face is much deeper, and also more difficult to address. In this talk, Ayush Agarwal, Facebook’s current Head of Enterprise Products, will take us through three important questions:
- What are the emotional needs of your customers? How can you meet them?
- Which metrics should you ignore, and which metrics should you watch like a hawk?
- How do you build the right team?
Bonus: How to transition into product management
