Abstract

The Lead Product Managers at the Wikimedia Foundation are responsible for setting the direction of technological change in their area. They create roadmaps and set goals for their departments and communicate them to the Wikimedia movement. They manage and work with engineers, analysts, designers, community liaisons, and other product managers to ensure that teams deliver working, well-designed products that meet the needs of its users. In this panel, the Lead Product Managers for Editing, Discovery, and Reading will host a discussion about product development, their roadmaps, and how they work with the Foundation and each other to deliver value to Wikimedians worldwide. Talk to us about your favourite area for improvement, your number one complaint, or your vision for the future.
