This was my second project at COMPFEST 17 at Universitas Indonesia.

My first project was a pure collaboration with peers in the Product Management Academy. But for the Graduation Night Study Case, the dynamic shifted. The organizers mixed all the academies—Product Management, Data Science, UX, and Software Engineering—into cross-functional teams. Each team was assigned a mentor to guide us through the sprint. By sheer luck, our mentor was also a product person: Bhaskara Jala Dhananjaya (Kak Babas). It was a fascinating environment. We operated like a real product squad, competing against others to crack the exact same study case. The goal was simply to find the best solution, and I was incredibly fortunate to be paired with this specific team.

I led the product management side—problem diagnosis, root cause analysis, solution design, and impact evaluation. The work itself was great, but the real highlight was the cross-pollination of ideas. Working alongside engineers and designers forces you to think differently. I won't bore you with a long list of what I did. The best measure of a product manager is how they affect the team around them. For that, I'll just share the feedback from our mentor:

In the end, it worked out. We won Best Team at the graduation night.
