Productboard Excellence Award winners announced!

We launched the inaugural Productboard Excellence Awards at our Product Excellence Summit and are thrilled to introduce the three winners. 

The Productboard Excellence Awards celebrate exemplary Productboard customers committed to the three pillars of Product Excellence and use Productboard to build products that matter, together.

We asked the Productboard team and our customers to nominate product managers and leaders who played a pivotal role in bringing the values of Product Excellence to their organizations. We asked them to share their strategic, visionary, and collaborative stories about how Productboard helped them further commit to the art and science of Product Excellence. 

Without further ado, we are thrilled to present the winners of our first-ever Productboard Excellence Awards!

WINNER: Michelle Monaco, Principal PM, Limelight Health

The insurance industry is notorious for being built on legacy systems. However, Limelight Health’s Principal Product Manager, Michelle Monaco, has led the product team to accomplish an agile transformation by using Productboard to foster greater internal collaboration and transparency. 

Michelle and her team use the Productboard roadmap as a forward-looking document to keep stakeholders in the loop.
