Animation is everywhere, enriching user experiences and adding a touch of personality to digital interactions.

Beyond Features: Creating Value Through Product Thinking
Fireside Chat by Karthi Subbaraman, Salesforce
--
Ever thought, what happens to the product after you design or develop and what are the factors included at the backend for making the product really successful?
In this session, we’ll dive into how we can create real value for both our organisation and its users by looking at the sweet spot where user needs, technology, and business goals meet.
Through the lens of product thinking, we will shift from a mindset of "this is nice; customers will love it" to asking critical questions like "Does this solve a problem? Will customers use it? Is it valuable for both customers and the organisation?" Let’s move beyond features and focus on what truly matters: delivering outcomes that make a difference.
Don’t think like a Designer or Developer. Don’t just Design screens and Write Codes but advocate for the whole product. Think for the product and make scalable products.
