One of the most important jobs a Product Leader has is making sure everyone working on a product, at any time, clearly knows why they're spending their time (minute to minute, commit to commit) on a given piece of work. 

In Karl's role at Next Big Sound, he experimented constantly with how to create the context for the team. As the direction of the company changed everyone wasn't just brought along for the ride, but was part of determining the course of action. In this talk, Karl recapped the different approaches to creating the right context for a team, what's worked for him, what hasn't, and provided a few things Product Leaders can try right away to provide better context for their teams.

Karl Sluis is a Product Leader and a Designer. He last worked at Next Big Sound (acquired by Pandora in 2015): today, he's exploring neighborhood data and bootstrapping his own project, cityatlas.us.

Karl's role at Next Big Sound focused on leading product work; he served as Product Manager for Pandora's Charts, delivering an unprecedented view into the top songs, trending artists, and predicted stars on Pandora's massive platform. From research to writing, color theory to code, Karl has many interests, but foremost among them is helping teams perform, deliver value, and do their best work.
