Using Comedy Principles to Create Fun & Engaging ProductsAndrew Jaico
09:00 - 09:30Studio One
Often, product development focuses too heavily on task completion and lifeless dashboards, without enough consideration of a user’s emotional journey. While looking at hard conversion data can smooth out bumps in a user’s journey, it can lead to missed opportunities to elevate the product into something fun and memorable. To achieve this, product managers can examine their customer’s journey using principles and structures of a product that lives or dies with emotional reaction: sketch comedy. In this talk, I’ll use my experience as a writer and performer to explain how structures and principles of sketch comedy can help products feel magical and emotionally relevant. The comedy concepts of initiation, game, and heightening will attendees understand how to pace and deliver value and increase engagement.

Why Good Writing MattersNoah Levin
10:00 - 10:30Studio One
Amazon famously has a culture of writing things down. Writing is hard, and good writing is harder. So why do we write press releases as the first step of a new product? Why do we write six-page narratives when we could just make a slide deck? Why does storytelling matter in a business document? And how much does grammar really matter? The purpose of this session is to convince you that good writing is an essential tool for you as a Product Manager. By honing this skill you can build the product your customers want, think clearly about complicated problems, and make data-driven decisions that will scale with your business.
