Product team Survivor: Building great products under constraints
What happens when product teams are forced to build under very different collaboration rules? In this interactive session inspired by the TV show Survivor, attendees will be split into small teams and given a product challenge. Each team must work under a unique constraint: • one team can only communicate asynchronously • another must follow a single decision-maker • another cannot speak at all • another can break one rule during the exercise Teams race to design the best product solution under their constraints before presenting their outcomes to the room. Together we’ll unpack how communication styles, leadership structures, and collaboration overhead dramatically impact product velocity, alignment, and decision quality. Expect surprising results, and practical insights you can take back to your own product teams.
