Abdul Afees Atanda
Product Manager
English
Over the last 8 years, I’ve managed over 35 successful technology and user-focused products spanning from my time at Huawei technologies to PayJoy incorporation, and now TalkTalk, working in product and program management. I really enjoy communicating with stakeholders, creating vertical-specific solutions, and providing product leadership to software teams in creating application workflows and useful solutions to customers' problems.
I have worked at three startups to date where I have taken products to market, studied user patterns and engagements with products, and have fully utilized and managed appropriate touchpoints users should be aware of using product-centric tools and service monitoring solutions.
I’ve been able to engineer fully effective technical solutions to solve industry-wide problems.
I have substantial professionalism in product management which I demonstrate by consistently combining experience in Technology, operations, leadership, and business development, with sound industry practices, in multiverse environments.
I have worked on multiple projects managing cross-functional teams, iterating on incremental product releases and practicing scrum and agile principles, events with an empirical process.
I’m able to map the product vision to a product-technology canvas that ensures systems, tools and applications feed into the big picture of the business.
What I can bring
—————————
how ideas and concepts become reality, how a PM works cross-functionally with multiple teams to keep a project flowing and how a PM continues to iterate and improve upon products after they've made it to consumers' hands.
My approach to this includes:
—————————————————
* How to figure out what to build, by working publicly with your team
* How to get useful input from your senior stakeholders, by writing great pre-reads
* How to lock down a decision with many stakeholders, with a structured process
Experience I have
——————————-
- Experimenting with A/B Testing
- Analytical development
- Customer interviews
- User research
- Feature prioritization
- Translating business to tech requirements through user stories
