Summary

In Episode 9 of Moesif's podcast, Larry Ebringer hosts Claire Barrett, Director at APIsFirst, to discuss key strategies for successful digital transformation and API product management in large enterprises. Barrett emphasizes the importance of digital savviness, shared business goals, and balanced teams, highlighting the distinction between project and product management. She explains that while project management focuses on achieving specific goals and deliverables, product management centers on the long-term vision of the product's lifecycle, customer-centricity, and data-driven decisions. The discussion also touches on the need for organizations to balance internal capability building with external consultancy to drive digital change effectively. Barrett advocates for inclusive and balanced teams, which foster creativity and resilience, and shares insights from her leadership of the Global Women in APIs initiative, which aims to enhance skills and confidence through public speaking and writing programs.
