Launching a product from scratch: London highlights

Many #mtpcon speakers have offered advice on ways to build a product from scratch. Here are a few of the standout talks on the topic from recent years.

From pandemic to pingdemic – Building through uncertainty

This 2021 #mtpcon London talk from Randeep Sidhu  – who is also delivering a keynote at #mtpcon London this year – describes the challenges of building the UK’s NHS Covid app – the fastest downloaded app in UK history, and one that was instrumental in helping to reduce the spread of Covid19 during the pandemic. It’s a talk full of fantastic advice: from managing stakeholders to using frameworks and sharing feedback.

Key takeaway: Hard to pick a key takeaway from so much interesting insight – when gathering feedback, create quality assets and multiple ways for people to share their insights.
