Chers Devs : Votre PM n'est (probablement) pas là pour vous pourrir la vie
Lightning talk humoristique et percutant sur la collaboration entre développeurs et Product Managers : pourquoi les PM changent d’avis, ce que signifie vraiment la “valeur”, comment mieux communiquer sans perdre son intégrité, et transformer les tensions dev/PM en coopération efficace, avec anecdotes et conseils pratiques.

Vous avez écrit du code élégant, pondu une belle archi scalable, et (presque) zéro dette technique...
Soudain, le PM débarque avec "juste un micro-ajust'" qui fait tout péter. Encore >_
Dans ce lightning talk un peu speed et légèrement thérapeutique, on décode le monde mystérieux du Product Management :
Histoires de guerre et confessions honnêtes des deux côtés : apprenez à transformer la guéguerre en vraie collab.
Attention : Contient des vérités qui piquent (mais avec amour) sur les deux camps !
Pour qui ? Pour les devs qui en ont marre de coder parfaitement les mauvais trucs, quoi 😉

Dans ce lightning talk un peu speed et légèrement thérapeutique, on décode le monde mystérieux du Product Management :
- Pourquoi les PMs changent d'avis (spoiler : ce n'est pas pour vous faire ch***, même si ça y ressemble)
- Ce que "valeur" veut VRAIMENT dire (si si)
- Comment parler Product sans vendre votre âme (petit dico inclus)
- La phrase magique pour que les PMs vous respectent à vie (indice : ce n'est pas "techniquement impossible")

I work with leaders and product and tech organizations, helping them to go beyond agile.
I have spent over 25 years in the Tech, moving through hands-on and leadership roles, starting as webdeveloper, then Product Manager, Head of Product, and company director, before focusing on senior coaching and strategic advisory. Been blessed along the way to work with super cool companies : Spotify, Airbus, and Vinted, and I now support startups, scale-ups, and large enterprises navigating growth, complexity, and increasingly difficult decisions.
I am the founder of bttrways, a consulting firm focused on Product Operating Models, leadership, and value-driven organizational design. My work often centers on questions that are uncomfortable but necessary: how decisions are actually made, how priorities are set, how responsibilities are clarified, how discovery and delivery interact, how performance is measured, and how organizational debt emerges over time.
I do not offer off-the-shelf frameworks or one-size-fits-all methodologies. My approach is rooted in lived experience inside real product organizations and in a pragmatic understanding of the constraints leaders face : regulatory, human, political, and economic. I work through audits, executive advisory, leadership coaching (C-level, VPs, Heads), tailored training programs, and, when relevant, fractional leadership roles.
Since 2008, I regularly speak at conferences, with talks grounded and accessible, openly questioning common assumptions around agility, innovation, and product management, and helping teams make clearer connections between their decisions and the real impact on customers and the business.
