The ultimate question – product owner? product manager?

For our last event of 2017, we’re going to talk about 2 product roles – owner vs manager.

This was a suggested Product Camp talks which we didn’t get to on the day so here we go! This is often a hot topic and we’re sure there will be a healthy debate about the definitions and how to navigate the roles and conversation about the roles.

Steve Bauer – our MC

He started his PM career in London while working with companies such as Samsung, Symbian and Nokia. After meeting the Queen he returned to the colonies to write about himself in the third person.

This strong interest in working with and helping people has led her to enjoy working with technology that helps people do their job. Working with Enterprise systems has provided interesting challenges but she’s ultimately driven by providing great solutions.
