Product community

The DfE product community is a supportive, professional group who share, learn and develop together.

Our vision is that DfE will be the leader for product management in government.

Product meetups

We have an active and friendly chat in our DfE Product Management Team.

Our community meets online every Thursday from 1:30pm to 2:30pm. To get the invite, email our Head of Product at debbie.blanchard@education.gov.uk.

We have different types of meetups including:

• show and tells - where DfE product managers share what they're currently working on
• guest speakers - who may be from outside of DfE or a member of a different profession
• action learning - where we work on something together as a community
• content conclave - where as a group we discuss our thoughts on a piece of content about product management
• joint sessions - where we join up with other profession communities

Get involved

To suggest a topic or speaker you'd like to see at a future meetup, start a discussion in our DfE Teams 'General chat' channel.

If you're new to product management in DfE, follow our new starter guidance to get involved in the community.
