SUMMARY:Grounds for Discussion - Are Personas Even Useful Anymore?
DESCRIPTION:It’s 2025 and your persona doc might be collecting more dust than insight. This week\, we’re asking the big question: Are personas even useful anymore? Or have they been replaced by archetypes\, jobs-to-be-done\, or just vibes?\nWe’ll explore how top PMs are thinking about customer understanding—and what’s actually working in the field.\nBut that’s not all.\nWe’re also digging into a common career dilemma: Is it better to go deep in one industry or wide across many? We’ll unpack the pros\, cons\, and real talk around building horizontal vs. vertical product expertise.\nGrounds for Discussion is our signature blend of roundtable and town hall—an open\, engaging space where product thinkers\, leaders\, and builders gather to explore the questions that matter most to our community. No slide decks. No rehearsed answers. Just thoughtful dialogue over coffee (or whatever fuels you) with experts and executives who’ve been there.\nWhether it’s career transitions\, discovery struggles\, team dynamics\, or strategic clarity\, we dig into the real stuff—with coffee in hand and curiosity on tap.\nIt’s one more way we live our mission: to help product professionals grow faster and deliver exceptional market value—together. \n\n\nThis event is included for free with a Product Coffee Premium membership. If you aren’t already a member\, join today! \n  \nRegister

SUMMARY:Why Customer Interviews Suck--And How Smart PMS Fix Them
DESCRIPTION:Customer interviews are one of the most powerful tools in a product manager’s toolkit—and also one of the most misused. Too often\, they’re awkward\, aimless\, or just plain unproductive—for both the PM and the participant. \nIn this hands-on Product Coffee workshop\, we’ll break down why customer interviews often fall flat—and walk through a simple\, repeatable approach to make them actually drive your roadmap. \nYou’ll get the Product Coffee Interview Planning Canvas and build your own real interview plans during the session. You’ll also leave with a list of people to talk to—and a clear plan for how to make those conversations worth everyone’s time. \nWhether you’re great at talking to customers or still feel a little awkward doing it\, this session will help you shift from polite chats to insight-rich conversations that spark real product innovation. \n\n\nThis event is included for free with a Product Coffee Premium membership.

SUMMARY:The Data Interpretation Gap
DESCRIPTION:Data is everywhere\, but insight is rare. This session explores how meaning is constructed through three interconnected layers: analytics\, interpretation\, and synthesis. You’ll learn how the same data point can yield multiple—and sometimes contradictory—conclusions depending on how it’s framed and combined with other information. We’ll break down the differences between descriptive and diagnostic analytics\, but more importantly\, we’ll show how data interpretation is the hidden force shaping every decision you make—and the critical gap standing between you and better product outcomes.\nWhile all three components—analytics\, interpretation\, and synthesis—are important\, interpretation is the most influential:\n→ Analytics reveals what is there\n→ Interpretation determines what it means\n→ Synthesis connects it to what else we know\nYou can have perfect data and flawless analytics\, but if the interpretation is off\, the conclusions—and outcomes—will be too.\nInterpretation is what introduces judgment\, context\, bias\, and meaning into the system. It’s where decisions begin to take shape.\nAt the core of this session is the SCOPE framework: Spot\, Compare\, Orient\, Probe\, Execute—a powerful tool for interpreting and reconciling data across use cases.\nYou’ll learn:\n✅ Why flawless analytics still lead to bad decisions\n✅ How smart PMs make meaning—not just reports\n✅ A simple but powerful method to move from scattered signals to strategic clarity\nBy the end\, you’ll walk away with a repeatable way to move beyond surface-level summaries into decisions grounded in nuance\, context\, and relevance. \n\n\nThis event is included for free with a Product Coffee Premium membership.

SUMMARY:Rapid Research for Real Product Risk
DESCRIPTION:Traditional UX research is outdated. Product development requires quick\, iterative feedback cycles from users and stakeholders. Learn new ways to validate product improvements or new product ideas using a rapid research method based on start-up practices. The Assumption Artifacts method focuses on isolating your largest product development risks and creating low-low-low-low fidelity artifacts to test iteratively\, and Analogous Domains allow you to leverage alternative users when yours may be difficult or expensive to reach. This is a mini-workshop where you will work in teams and conduct both methods.  \n\n\nThis event is included for free with a Product Coffee Premium membership.
