    Collaboration Event Ideas with Vancouver Design Community

    Hello everyone! We are in discussions of possible collaboration event involving design with our friends from Vancouver Design Community. Some event topic suggestions

    • Navigating the overlapping responsibilities between Product Management & Product Design

    • Innovation vs iteration - When to push for bold redesigns vs incremental improvements

    • Design systems as product thinking - shared ownership and governance

    • How AI tools are reshaping both roles (and where they overlap)

    • “Who owns the user?” - When PMs and designers disagree on user needs vs business priorities

    • Speed vs quality - MVP mindset meets design excellence

    • Prioritization frameworks that work for both disciplines

    Have a topic you’d like to see covered above or another recommendation? Comment below and we’ll create a poll to let the community decide. Thank you! Jackie Ho Product Manager & UX Engineer ProductBC Event & Marketing

      What a wonderful news of the collaboration event, All the topics sound great but would love to hear more on "Speed vs quality - MVP mindset meets design excellence"

      Those all look great. Two other ideas:

      • "Design and Product Management when the 'users' are AI Agents"

      • "How Designers and Product Managers can work together to create uniquely differentiated products as AI steers products towards similarity"

      One of the biggest disconnects I often see is misunderstanding how to properly do iterative development and/or incremental delivery Ship your MVP, actually measure it, continue to iterate on feedback from users... moving fast, creating momentum. This one always seems to breakdown between product + design

      Working with designers is my favourite thing about making product! I'm a big believer in roles being pretty fluid based on the skills of the pm / designer pair, but I think that about nearly every role/team. I don't have a topic, but would love to watch/listen.
