Event 1\n\nTitle: Build Better Flows, Reduce Bugs, Think Like a Product Person\n\nDescription: Understanding user journeys is one of the most powerful skills you can develop whether you’re a software developer, a future Product Manager, or someone transitioning into tech. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll map a real product flow step-by-step and explore how clear journeys improve development speed, reduce bugs, and create better user experiences. You will learn: What a user journey really is Happy path vs. edge cases (and why both matter) Common mistakes in product flows How journeys shape API needs, validations and error handling How clearer journeys improve communication between devs, PMs, and designers A live exercise: building the Password Reset flow together Who should come: No product background required just curiosity.
