Shape Up Ryan Singer How to Web Conference 2023

 

Back in 2003, Ryan was embarking on the newly-founded software company, Basecamp, which has deeply influenced the early software-as-a-service industry. Over 17 years, he designed features used by millions and invented processes our teams used to design, develop, and ship software. Always looking to understand the bigger picture, his role evolved from UI Designer to Product Manager to Head of Strategy. At each step, he had to solve problems in a new field using methods that aren’t taught in schools. This led him to acquire a unique toolkit of research and strategy tools to “see in the dark” when no one else knew where to go. Ryan’s expertise lies in the zone between the demand and the supply side. He figures out what potential customers are struggling to do, maps that to technical expertise, then shapes a product concept that teams can implement.
