Hi network, as a follow-up to the article I shared late last year on the benefits of a combined modular and agile approach, the authors of that article, my knowledgeable colleagues here at Implement Consulting, will be hosting a short webinar on this topic - join, meet them, get inspired!! Mike

Modularisation and agile... origin in very different parts of the project and development space, but -as we often see- synergies may arise when you combine different approaches. Join our webinar on the integration of product modularity and agile execution to hear more. #agile #modularisation #modular #projectmanagement #development

Start with the Problem Every time I attend cross-company demos, I’m reminded of a significant issue: the overwhelming focus on features. It’s alarming that 90% of teams highlight the features they’ve built, with very few explaining the problems they’re trying to solve. As product teams, our primary focus should be on: ✅ Problems ✅ Problems ✅ Problems This is the essence of product management. Are we solving the right problem? Are we solving it in the best possible way? Yet, we often find ourselves fixated on: ❌ Features ❌ Features ❌ Features While it can be challenging to distinguish between the two, understanding this difference is crucial for success. I’m not suggesting we ignore the features our teams develop, but we must always start with the WHY behind each feature we present. #productmanagement

For many product teams, Product Strategy can be a mysterious black box. Few companies have a clear, cohesive strategy for how their product will win in the market. In the next Lean Product meetup that we sponsor, product expert Dan Olsen will teach you a simple but powerful approach to defining your product strategy, drawing on frameworks from his book The Lean Product Playbook.

In MVP(minimum viable product) how do we define viable? is it a product for PoC? a demo to higher management? a product which can support first 10 customers? a product which supports 5 customers without issue for 6 months? a product that supports first 5 usecases without any issue at a given scale? #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #productmanagement #productdesign #mvp

How often is prolonged bottlenecking taking place with your product managers protecting their roadmaps above all else? This conversation with Blake Reichenbach from @hubspot was extremely thoughtful! We all make decisions based on protection. Fear of failure. Fear of change. Often we guard our backlog and roadmaps with castle walls and fortified turrets from leadership, stakeholders, or even the user's requests. We can only be accountable for what we committed to. And since we can be committed to the roadmap, it can't change, because then our accountability target shifts! Even if this is what is best for the customer and end user. The balance between giving the work enough time to be completed and ultimately proving its value and/or changing course to respond to feedback, needs, findings, or compromise... This is the art of negotiating in product management.
