A Journey Through the PDLC

Event Details

Doors open: 5:00pm

Workshop start: 5:30pm

Workshop end: 8:00pm

Join Product Calgary for a unique, immersive experience that combines product management principles with a fantasy adventure!  This workshop is a one-of-a-kind, interactive game designed to take you through the entire product development lifecycle using Dungeons & Dragons-inspired gameplay.

In this adventure, you’ll play as members/recruits of The Shadow Hands guild, a legendary thieves' guild in need of a new onboarding program for their latest recruits. Working together, you’ll tackle each stage of the product development lifecycle—from discovery to market—as you design, test, and implement a strategic onboarding program to prepare new members for life in the guild.

What to Expect:

• Interactive Gameplay: Experience a D&D-style game that transforms product development tasks into fantasy challenges, all led by a seasoned Dungeon Master who will guide you through each phase.
• Hands-On Learning: Dive into real product management concepts such as gathering insights, designing user-centric experiences, creating engaging materials, and deploying solutions—all through the lens of a thieves' guild!
• Team Collaboration: Work in groups to solve onboarding challenges, create unique solutions, and make decisions that will impact the success of the new recruits.
• Networking & Fun: Meet fellow Product Calgary members, learn in a playful setting, and connect over shared challenges and creative solutions.

Whether you’re a seasoned product manager or a couple of years into the field, this event will provide a fresh perspective on the product lifecycle while offering an unforgettable experience in a fantasy world. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, play, and connect with Calgary’s product community in a whole new way!
