Chapter 2: 380 people take over a small town in Panama Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

We take you behind the scenes to Auth0's 2018 offsite where there 380 employees converge on a small town in Panama and take over the Westin hotel for three days of presentations, team bonding activities and deep product discussions.

Listen in on impromptu jobs to be done discussions, cross-team discussions about how they can better communicate and how teams should be testing the features they're building and releasing.

These discussions lead to a product breakthrough that will dictate the next two months of development and result in an A/B test that no everyone on the team agrees on the outcome of.
