Discussion Topic: Product vs Engineering: Aligning Teams & Vision

Speaker: Kipkorir Arap Kirui - Senior Product Manager Google

Why This Conversation Matters

In many startups, tension between product and engineering is common. Product teams may push for:

Faster delivery
More features
Customer requests
Growth experiments and
Quick market response

Engineering teams may push for:

Better architecture
Technical quality
Stability
Maintainability
Security and
Realistic delivery timelines

When these teams are not aligned, the result is frustration, blame, poor decisions, rushed work, and products that become harder to improve over time.

This session explores how product and engineering can work together as partners rather than opposing forces.
