Aizlewood's Mill Welcomes ProductTank Sheffield

It’s time for the first ProductTank Sheffield of 2020, taking place on Thursday 27th February.

We’re looking to pick up where we left off in 2019, with another chance to network with like-minded people from the Sheffield product community, while listening to a healthy mix of insightful speakers.

As we take ProductTank around the city, we’re pleased to confirm that our upcoming meetup will take place at Aizelwood’s Mill and we’re also thrilled that Qualsys – a Sheffield-based provider of integrated quality management software – will be sponsoring the event.

On top of the great venue and sponsor, we also have three varied talks planned:

Tim Cropper-Williams and Mand Beckett, Product Director and Product Manager at IRIS Software Group respectively, will give us an insight into all the things they’ve learned while changing from instinctive product management to a product-focused business in under a year.

Marianne Brierley, Senior User Researcher and Service Designer at dxw digital in Leeds, is an advocate for “using the right approach, at the right time, for the right purpose”. Marianne will be addressing the ways in which user research can be de-valued, and how you can do something about that.

Matthew Ford, who is currently Product Manager for the Government Gateway service, brings a wealth of experience from across the public sector and will be telling us about his journey into product management, via business analysis.

Please let us know if you’ll be coming along; with high demand for recent events, we want to make sure it’s not over-subscribed.

If you've got any questions about the event, or anything else related to ProductTank Sheffield, feel free to get in touch. You can either send us a message through Meetup.com, or use our Twitter account (@ProdTankSHF). Either way, one of Aden, Rob or Tom will be happy to respond.

Following the successful return of ProductTank Sheffield in September, we wanted to keep up the momentum and hold another meetup before the Christmas period.

We're pleased to confirm that our next edition will be hosted at the home of Twinkl, who look forward to welcoming everyone to their Ecclesall Road event space on Thursday 21st November.

As part of this, we’re equally fortunate to have Twinkl’s Chief Product Officer, Helen Fulson, presenting on the night. Helen oversees the production of Twinkl’s huge range of high-quality, trusted learning materials; from planning and assessments, to activity ideas and resources, interactive games, augmented reality apps, and much more.

As CPO, Helen supports all stages of product development at Twinkl, from initial idea and innovation through to creation, all whilst keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in the world of education and global curricula. Before joining Twinkl in 2013, Helen spent 14 years teaching in primary schools across England.

Joining Helen on stage will be Faye Goodworth from Sheffield-based design and research company Paper.studio. In her talk, “From picture books to banking apps – how the Spanish tooth fairy helped me be a product owner’, Faye will be joining up some of the dots between working with languages and delivering user-centred digital products, sharing the unique experience she’s gained from her unusual path into (and around) product.

And finally, we’re also delighted to welcome Dr Phil Harper, who is Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Tribosonics Ltd. In keeping with our goal of diversifying our event, Phil will be able to provide a different kind of insight, linked to physical products for real-world sensing, including the challenges associated with sensors that work at 450 deg C and those that had to undergo explosion testing during certification. A Chartered Engineer, his background is in Mechanical Engineering with a PhD in Tribology and Ultrasonics.

During the intro, we’ll also give a quick overview of the feedback from our first event, and how we’ve used it to iterate where possible.

ProductTank Yorkshire (Sheffield)

ProductTank provides an opportunity for Product Managers, and those involved with Product roles, to exchange ideas and experiences about Product Design, Development and Management, Business Modelling, Metrics, User Experience and all the other things that get us excited.

Events include talks from guest speakers on topics around product management, networking opportunities, and a good old-fashioned chin-wag over a beer or two.

We're open to companies big and small. We also welcome early-stage technology businesses looking to learn how to get their ideas off the ground.

We also have a blog, where we encourage the community to get engaged by commenting on or writing new posts for http://www.mindtheproduct.com , as well as the world's largest product conferences http://mtpcon.co

This will be the third ProductTank in Sheffield. As with previous events there will be free drinks and food, as awell as great talks and a chance for networking before and after the talks.

This is open to anyone that has an interest in product, so come along and listen to a great evening of talks.
