Last week, as a proud community partner, we joined Product Management Day, the event dedicated to product design organized by GrUSP. Manfredi C. and Reeti Agarwal, from the Service Design Drinks Milano team, shared their top five takeaways to inspire and elevate your product practices: 1- MVPs as Strategic Assets Build a minimal product, test core assumptions, and iterate quickly. Don't waste resources on unnecessary features. 2- Data-Driven Roadmaps Over Gut Feeling Effective product roadmaps are grounded in data. Real insights beat intuition, turning user feedback and metrics into strategic choices. 3- Sustainability as a Core Requirement Designing sustainable products is a business imperative, not a luxury. Integrate Eco-conscious choices from day one. 4- Cross-Functional Collaboration for Breakthroughs Real innovation flourishes when Product, Tech, and Marketing operate seamlessly. Breaking down silos accelerates both learning and impact.   5- Turning Failure into Insights through Continuous Discovery Mistakes aren't setbacks; they're opportunities to delve deeper into user needs. Continuous discovery empowers us to align our product with user problems. See you at the next edition ✨
