“Once upon a time a non-techie PM decided to explore Digital Land and especially the Backend Dev region… where people speak and behave more strangely than what she was used to.

This was an unknown land with unknown risks, however the PM had a lot of motivation. So she decided to wear her favourite hiking shoes, take her largest backpack and climb that challenging hill.”

In this talk Saniha Ozem shares the experience of starting at a new agency and having to understand lots of new things/words/processes/languages/tools (so many tools)…she quickly noticed that being a Digital PM is also being a little bit of a psychologist and a little bit of a translator (and sometimes a mom). These traits were actually key for a specific tribe:the backend developers.

Saniha takes us through:
– Understanding this totally new techie vocabulary and skill sets
– Communicating and spread this techie vocabulary to clients
– Without going nuts
– Without miscommunications

It was hard but not impossible.
