Let's DAZN IT! Vol 4. - A Product culture for global disruption

Let's DAZN IT! to cykl spotkań poświęconych różnorodnym zagadnieniom z obszaru programowania oraz szeroko pojętej dziedziny informatyki. Prowadzone przez profesjonalistów tworzących DAZN dla profesjonalistów, lecz także dla osób głodnych merytorycznych branżowych informacji. Czeka na Was możliwość spotkania świetnych ludzi, coś na ząb, gorąca dyskusja, a także integracja!

Czwarta edycja meetupu Let's DAZN IT odbędzie się już 23go września. W przeciwieństwie do poprzednich edycji, w których prezentowaliśmy tematy przygotowane przez naszych programistów (Lovefield DB, Micro-Frontends oraz Gherkin), tym razem nasze wydarzenie kierujemy przede wszystkim do osób zainteresowanych zarządzeniem produktem. Zapraszamy Was na spotkanie z zespołem produktowym odpowiedzialnym za aplikację DAZN na platformach mobilnych, cieszącą się tytułem "najbardziej dochodowej aplikacji sportowej maja 2019".

Wydarzenie jest bezpłatne, lecz liczba miejsc jest ograniczona

Product Design Sprints - Figure out what to build in 5 days! - Prezentacja w języku angielskim

DAZN has experienced rapid growth over the last 3 years and working in the product team at DAZN is a fast paced environment, which requires kicking off ideas at speed! Failing fast and learning fast is key to ensuring that there is no wasted dev effort.

Here's where design sprints can help with this learning curve. Design Sprints were a term coined by Google to use a set of methods to bring an idea to life in a matter of days.

Drawing on his work at DAZN, Barclays Bank - Innovation Team, and various start-ups, Muj will be discussing ways to kick off and ideate projects, by bringing people together to create an awesome product!

Topics include:

• How to run design sprints?
• What methods can be used during the design sprint?
• How to get everyone together to ideate a project?
• Benefits and limitations of this approach

How we do Product at DAZN - Agile approaches and working backwards - Prezentacja w języku angielskim

In July 2015, DAZN stole department heads from Amazon, Spotify and the BBC to found their Product team.

Amongst other tournaments, we had bought exclusive rights to the 2016/17 English Premier League in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and needed to build an app in one year, to be able to stream the matches on around 20 platforms (it took Netflix 7 years to support that many devices!).

So how did we set ourselves up to attempt such a crazily ambitious goal?

We've tried to blend the best approaches from each of our previous organisations to enable our Product team to deliver what users want, at scale and with pace.

Come find out about the Product best practices DAZN used to hit that initial deadline, then go from zero to many millions of users in 9 countries within 3 years of launch.

Topics include:

• Working backwards
• PRFAQs
• Product lifecycle phases
• BDD & Gherkin
