How to Build Enterprise Products with Blockchain Plus True Product Ownership

Michael Anton Adam founded DocLaunch & ChainTracks.io, which leverage blockchain for document authentication and information gathering in one cohesive system to improve the customer experience and reduce auditing pains. Soon Chain Tracks will be offering the technology as a SaaS product in partnership with Microsoft. In this talk, Michael will demystify what blockchain is and how it can be used in enterprise and to build digital products. You'll also hear from Nicole Diederich, product manager at Watermark Insights, who will talk about how to create space for true product ownership. Product managers are supposed to be the CEOs of their product. But what if the original PM for your product was the actual CEO of the company? Transitioning roles and responsibilities as companies grow and merge is challenging, to say the least. Learn when and how to say “no” to your boss by casting a strong vision for your product—and then delivering. And Dana Hart, director of engineering at Northwestern Mutual, will cover how to team up with engineers. While there are many ways to run your agile or scrum team, the key partnership is between the product owner and the engineering lead. The healthy conversations and give-and-take between the two roles are essential to delivering a successful product.
