“Our relationship is built on trust and understanding. I don’t trust them and they don’t understand me.”
Too often this is the story when product leaders and technical leaders try to work together in software organizations. Product has unreasonable demands and they don’t understand how hard it is. Tech can’t build things fast enough and when they finally do release, it’s the wrong thing and full of bugs.
Finger-pointing consumes an inordinate amount of time, and meanwhile, the board is wondering why nothing is getting done.
It’s no way to live your life.
The good news is in healthy product development teams, product and tech not only live side by side but they trust each other implicitly as they work shoulder-to-shoulder to drive strategic goals. At the heart of the most successful digital products lies teams united by strong, healthy relationships.
In this Ascendle Unscripted episode, two of our seasoned leaders from each side of the aisle–product and tech–share not only horror stories from their past, but also what they’ve seen when it works. Watch the video to hear actionable advice you can put into practice right away to start mending fences and supercharge productivity.
