Why do I need a Community of Practice?

It can easily cost US$250,000 to hire a product manager.
(Factoring in salary + benefits, recruitment costs, lost productivity & onboarding)

Can you really afford to lose the people you hire?

Creating a supportive community that keeps your product development team happy and productive isn’t just a nice thing to do - it’s a major factor in your team’s success.

Benefits

Having the right environment in place reduces churn, makes it easier to attract talent, develops the people you have, and helps deliver value to market faster.

• Ship better products - faster

  Delivering value starts with a good strategy - but execution lies in having a solid and supportive team environment, where people can communicate, collaborate & align priorities to ship the right things, at a greater pace..

• Reduce the cost of hiring

  Recruitment is both expensive and time consuming - and those are only the obvious issues. When people walk out the door, you introduce delays for teams and loss of knowledge - and even if you’re successful, there’s a long lead time for new starters to gain context and start delivering value.

  The best companies retaining key people developing the talent already there - which creates a rich talent pipeline.

• Build happy teams

  Happy teams that feel supported and valued are the most productive and innovative. They’re the ones that go above an beyond, and who really understand your customer and your mission.

• Build for today

  Remote + hybrid working models have introduced difficult working environments. The best time to focus on creating a supportive internal culture was yesterday. The next best time is now.
