Stop Playing Referee: How to end priority wars between Product & Eng Masterclass

Join us for the Stop Playing Referee masterclass, part of Poland Tech Week 2026. Engineering says refactoring takes 8 weeks, period. Product says the launch date is non-negotiable. Sales already promised a custom client feature for Q4. And once again, leadership gets dragged in to play referee. If your calendar is systematically hijacked by cross-departmental priority wars, you don't have a communication problem; you have an execution framework failure. Join Inês Boska (Founder, Druga Strona) for this 45-minute tactical masterclass on how scale-up leaders retire themselves as referees and build frameworks that force cross-functional teams to resolve roadmap deadlocks autonomously. What you will learn A plug&play script to drain emotional hostility and defensive posture before touching the roadmap.How to reframe positional arguing ("you vs. me") into collaborative problem-solving ("us vs. the constraint").How to establish the "2-option mandate" and eliminate unilateral escalations to leadership. Who it's for This session is designed specifically for leaders in scaling tech companies (30–250 headcount): Founders & COOs exhausted from refereeing internal team arguments and wanting 10+ hours back in their week.VPs / Directors of Eng fighting to protect system stability and technical autonomy without constantly clashing with commercial priorities.VPs / Directors of Product looking to maintain roadmap delivery momentum without burning out engineering trust.📍 Imaguru Tech Hub, Warsaw
