You plan your roadmap carefully, but then reality happens. As early-year sales escalations and market signals disrupt your strategy, this meetup explores how to embrace uncertainty rather than resist it. We will focus on adopting a “verify, don’t assume” mindset and shifting your leadership goal from preventing change to reducing the cost of change. You will learn how to detect strategic risks and respond with a clear decision protocol. You’ll also learn how to build the continuous feedback loop and cultural foundations needed to keep your product process resilient throughout the year. Walk away with practical frameworks for leading teams and sustaining a healthy product engine when roadmaps inevitably break.
