Building a product and ux practice
I’m a product leader focused on building high-performing teams and enabling their best work. As the VP of Product and User Experience at MillerKnoll, I grew what was previously a launch-and-abandon-type project organization into a successful product-led structure. I scaled up a group of eleven vaguely-product-oriented folks to a team of 50+ product managers, analysts, designers, UX strategists and researchers.
One key to success is weekly alignment on product philosophy and strategy through practice-area stand-ups. Individuals have daily stand-ups with product teams to talk about tactical work, but weekly stand-ups as a product or UX practice area is where to dive into frameworks, learnings, and thought leadership.
I’m cataloging some of my stand-up topics to share with other product-led organizations, in the hopes that you also have meaningful conversations that unlock new levels of growth and effectiveness.
