About the Event

“Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.” 

In this session, two product leaders will dive into how stable, actionable predictions can transform product teams from reactive units into strategic drivers of growth. By addressing the pitfalls of “corporate theatre” in predictions, they’ll share best practices that empower product leaders to make informed, impactful decisions that align with long-term goals.

Kim Phelan: "Product Predictions: From Corporate Theatre to Strategic Tool"

Paul Sham: "Predicting Outcomes for New Products in an Established Company"

You’ll learn about: 

  • Approaches to predicting the financial impact of features
  • How a “landing zone” can improve date conversations 
  • Develop outcome predictions when there’s no existing user behaviour
