Projects, Product, Communication and All the Rest

Being invited to speak at the PM Summit in London was an honor. The panel brought together product leaders from diverse industries, and the conversation around product-engineering dynamics was both honest and constructive.

My contribution focused on three practices that transformed collaboration in my teams: shared discovery sessions, engineering-led spike reviews, and what I call “context budgets” — dedicated time for engineers to understand the why behind features.

The audience questions were sharp and pushed us to address the harder aspects of cross-functional work, like navigating technical debt negotiations and maintaining velocity during organizational change. It was one of those rare panels where every speaker brought something genuinely different to the table.
