What Product Managers Can Learn from The Art of Standup Comedy

Product management and stand-up comedy may seem like completely unrelated worlds, but they share fundamental principles that drive success. As both a product manager and a stand-up comedian, I’ve learned that the same skills that make a great joke land—observation, iteration, audience focus, and adaptability—are just as critical in building great products.

In this engaging and humorous session, I'll break down how lessons from comedy apply directly to product management, covering topics like:

The power of observation in identifying unique opportunities (Innovation)

Why continuous iteration is key to improving both jokes and products (Continuous Improvement)

How understanding your audience drives success (Customer Focus & Segmentation)

The importance of timing, branding, and adaptability in both fields

Expect laughs, insights, and a fresh perspective that will change the way you think about product strategy, user experience, and creative problem-solving.
