The State of the Product – Susana Lopes on The Product Experience

Susana Videira Lopes

We first saw Onfido’s Susana Lopes talk about how she used the State of the Product presentation to manage stakeholders and drive alignment at London’s Product Camp. She’s since written two great articles on the subject (Tools to Help Product Managers Think Strategically and Commercially Part 1 and Part 2), and she joins us on the podcast to dive further into the topic.

In this episode, sponsored by Amplitude, listen to learn about:

  • The State of Product presentation
  • Strategic alignment for teams
  • Roadmaps

Quote of the Episode

Don’t try to do everything to start with, literally pick one thing… Find your minimal viable state of product before you then invite all of the execs into the room.

He’s held Head of Product roles at HSBC and Sainsbury’s, where he also directed their 100+-person product community. Randy’s book, What Do We Do Now? A Product Manager’s Guide to Strategy in the Time of COVID-19 is out now, with all profits going to COVID-19 relief efforts.
