Building products when you can't move fast and break things
Most product advice assumes you can launch quickly, experiment freely, and iterate based on immediate user feedback.
But what happens when your customers are government agencies, regulations shape product decisions, and the cost of getting it wrong is measured in years rather than weeks?
In this interactive session, Pooja Yelsangikar shares lessons from building products for state and local government organizations, exploring how product teams can drive innovation in environments where trust, compliance, and stakeholder alignment matter as much as speed.
Through audience discussion, live polling, and real-world scenarios, attendees will compare how product decisions change across regulated and non-regulated industries and uncover practical approaches for balancing innovation with accountability.
Key takeaways:
- How product management changes in highly regulated environments
- Frameworks for prioritization when experimentation is limited
- Building trust with complex stakeholder groups
- Finding opportunities for innovation when constraints are high
