The End of Silos: Building Shared Reality Between Product and Engineering

A Fireside Chat: How shared visibility enables faster decisions and better outcomes

Digital product development has fundamentally changed. What was once linear and predictable is now a sprawling ecosystem of tools, parallel workflows, and cross-functional teams operating in constant flux.

Results? Slow innovation. Stalled launches. Endless alignment meetings.


Join Beth Weeks and Louise Allen, seasoned Product and Engineering executives, for a fireside chat about rethinking cross-functional collaboration. They'll share how they're moving from traditional alignment models to shared visibility systems—connecting customer needs, technical capacity, and business priorities in one source of truth.

In this conversation, Beth and Louise will explore: 
  • Strategies for establishing joint OKRs where Product and Engineering leaders share accountability for outcomes, not just outputs
  • Techniques for making data-driven prioritization decisions, not gut-feeling calls  
  • Early warning systems for spotting risks, dependencies, and capacity constraints
  • The AI opportunity—how intelligent systems can surface patterns and insights across complex organizations
