Product Manager of the Year Award
Building the right thing, not just building things.
About this category
This award recognises a product manager or product owner whose understanding of users and clear decisions led to a product that people value. Judges look for user insight, prioritisation and measured results.

Open to product managers and product owners in UK organisations.

Additional criteria
Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures such as users, uptime, performance, revenue or time saved, and, where possible, feedback from customers or users. Commercially sensitive figures can be given as ranges or percentages, and nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Never include credentials, security vulnerabilities that are not yet fixed, or personal data about users. Judges consider the size and stage of the business, so a start up competes on equal terms with an established technology company.
