Slides from the 'Essentials of Product Management' workshop at General Assembly in London, June 2013
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
The first step in making an idea reality is to understand product management. There is a huge amount of work between the idea stage and the coding stage, and this Saturday workshop will help you understand what needs to be accomplished.
We will start the day off by learning what the product management role encompasses and what the managing process is like. We'll also cover a product's feasibility and the various stages of—and ways to approach—the product development process. Through group work and hands-on practice, we'll look at the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) philosophy to test and validate your plans, and move on to identify the other more technical tools needed to start and evaluate the building process.
TAKEAWAYS
Part 1: The Product Manager role & the Product Management Process
Part 2: The Customer and MVP
- Learn to break an idea into its primary parts to assess product feasibility
- Explain the purpose and process of building an MVP
- Identify various ways to build and learn from an MVP
- Evolve an MVP to reach product/market fit
- Determine if product/market fit has been achieved for a product

Game Product Discovery: Validation & IterationMartyn Jones
Slides & notes from a recent Product Tank presentation. I talk through Product Management and how I think it relates to Game Design, in particular how to apply the Discovery process
This presentation came up from a discussion that
emerged in a ‘lean startup’ meet-up in San
Francisco 2 years ago. We had to choose a theme
for discussion and I proposed ‘Design Thinking’ VS
‘Lean Startup’. Rapidly my talk was the most voted
and the war began … the room split in 2 groups,
fighting to prove which methodology was the right
one...
After this , I decided to give a deeper study to the
matter ... Each methododology is great... Actually its
usage or mindset depends on different factors and
objectives. This presentation is the result of this
deeper study and some [personal] conclusions.

Two methods for innovation are Lean Startup and Design Thinking. So how do they work together? We look at when to use what and how to make this practically work.
Lean Product Management: The Art of Known UnknownsNatalie Hollier
(This presentation was given at the Lean Strategy + Design Salon meetup in New York: http://www.meetup.com/LeanStrategyPlusDesign/events/200913392/)
"Innovate or die” is the mantra of successful companies. So how can we build innovation into our product development process? By combining design thinking, lean startup and agile we get a recipe for repeatable innovation: lean UX. Lean UX and lean startup methods are being used today by many startups and innovation labs to take a learning approach to discovering and building the best product for customers.
But what does repeatable innovation look like scaled across an enterprise? This talk will share how to apply lean product practices as a continuous process across multiple products and agile development teams in an organization. With real examples and artifacts you will learn how to manage - and thrive - in uncertainty to create awesome products.
Inspirational Exercises for Your Career and Personal BrandFahri Karakas
In this seminar, we have a couple of activities aimed at improving your employability and personal brand.
First, we discuss your job application portfolio.
Second, we prepare our benchmarking table. In this exercise, you learn about brands at multiple levels (country brands, company brands, and individual brands). You choose 3 countries, 4 companies, and 4 individuals. You reflect on their success stories and brand power: What can you learn from these brands? How can you learn further? You create lessons and inspiration from these brands for your career.
Third, you create a business model canvas to create your own creative assets. You might use this activity to plan your asset creation strategies, such as creating your own YouTube channel, podcast, or Medium blog.
Fourth, you create a personal branding canvas to improve your employability. We go over a sample personal branding canvas exercise to illustrate how you can position yourself and your brand for the companies that you are applying for.
Best luck in your job applications.

In this training, we will build on the foundation established in Lean Startup 101 and 201 by delving into examples and cases of the Lean Startup concepts in action. Attendees of Lean Startup 301 will be exposed to cutting edge work from thought leaders and experts using Lean Startup in practice today — at startups and within the enterprise. Participation in this session is essential: You will be asked to help design an MVP and experiment to test critical Leap of Faith Assumption(s) in groups and will be encourage to share experiences. The session is designed to allow attendees to stretch their skills and to push one-another to ‘learn by doing’. The session will also include:
Sample cases and live interviews with practitioners highlighting the application of core concepts;
Exercises designed to bring the concepts to life and challenge participants to deepen their skills;
Discussion of advanced topics such organizational culture and governance as well as industry-specific concepts such as using Lean Startup in heavily regulated markets.

In their new book How Google Works, Google Executive Chairman and ex-CEO Eric Schmidt and former SVP of Products Jonathan Rosenberg share the lessons they learned over the course of a decade running Google.
Covering topics including corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption, the authors illustrate management maxims with numerous insider anecdotes from Google’s history.
In an era when everything is speeding up, the best way for businesses to succeed is to attract smart-creative people and give them an environment where they can thrive at scale. How Google Works is a new book that explains how to do just that.

32 Ways a Digital Marketing Consultant Can Help Grow Your BusinessBarry Feldman

Agile communities know that the sooner they deliver a working product the sooner they can determine the value it provides. Yet while the ability to deliver frequently is valuable, if you don’t know where you are going, it is easy to iteratively not get there.
This talk will RI-examine the balance of discovery and delivery techniques in use by agile communities today. Specifically, we will discuss how can design thinking help agile communities discover deeper product value before iterative delivery begins. Also, after the first iteration, how can agile communities use design tools to keep the users alive and well and part of every story, acceptance tests, and iteration of development and delivery.

The Minimum Loveable Product: Go Beyond the Minimum Viable ProductDialexa

10 things founders should always remember. What started as a simple question became a year-long weekend project as I dug deep and pulled from past experiences, situations I've witnessed, and examples I've seen. I also referenced some of the best books I've read over the years that have helped shape how I operate and partner with founders. I built this "Top 10 Startup Tips for Founders" deck to capture some of my takeaways. It was much more difficult as I had so many other wandering thoughts that didn't get captured here, but I needed to start somewhere! After receiving much encouragement and support from my network, I'm sharing this current version openly with the startup community. Please take a look, and feel free to circulate to those you think can benefit from this.
In this talk, I have discussed the issues around the need to recognize the business problem being solved, how to identify that, etc. rather than only focusing on the tech.
In this talk for the students of IIM Udaipur, I have discussed how AI as technology needs to deliver business value in order for AI as a discipline to be seen as relevant to business. I have also spoken briefly about my own research work.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

• Who are my “customers”?
• What is their pain point?
• How are they living with it today?
• What would they do if they had options?
• How much would they pay for it?
• Will they prepay you now for a solution?
35. Customer Jobs
Jobs describe the things your
customers are trying to get done in
their work or in their life.
A customer job could be the tasks they
are trying to perform and complete, the
problems they are trying to solve, or
the needs they are trying to satisfy.
36. Type of Jobs
• Functional Jobs
• Social Jobs
• Personal Jobs
• Supporting Jobs
37. Customer Pains
Pains describe anything that annoys your
customers before, during, and after trying to
get a job done or simply prevents them from
getting a job done. Pains also describe risks,
that is, potential bad outcomes, related to
getting a job done badly or not at all.
A customer pain can be extreme or moderate,
similar to how jobs can be important or
insignificant to the customer.
38. Type of Pains
• Undesired outcomes, problems or
characteristics
• Obstacles
• Risks (undesired potential outcomes)
39. Customer Gains
Gains describe the outcomes and benefits
your customers want. Some gains are
required, expected, or desired by customers,
and some would surprise them. Gains include
functional utility, social gains, positive
emotions, and cost savings.
A customer gain can feel essential or nice to
have, just like pains can feel extreme or
moderate to them.
44. Products and Services
This is simply a list of what you offer. Think of
it as all the items your customers can see in
your shop window—metaphorically speaking
This bundle of products and services helps
your customers complete either functional,
social, or emotional jobs or helps them
satisfy basic needs
45. Types of Products /
Services
• Physical / Tangible
• Intangible
• Digital
• Financial
46. Pain Relievers
Pain relievers describe how exactly your
products and services alleviate specific
customer pains.
They explicitly outline how you intend to
eliminate or reduce some of the things that
annoy your customers before, during, or after
they are trying to complete a job or that prevent
them from doing so.
47. Gain Creators
Gain creators describe how your products
and services create customer gains.
They explicitly outline how you intend to
produce outcomes and benefits that your
customer expects, desires, or would be
surprised by, including functional utility, social
gains, positive emotions, and cost savings.
48. Pain Relievers vs Gain
Creators
Pain relievers and gain creators both create value
for the customer in different ways. The difference
is that the former specifically addresses pains in
the customer profile, while the latter specifically
addresses gains. It is okay if either of them
addresses pains and gains at the same time.
The main goal of these two areas is to make the
customer value creation of your products and
services explicit.
51. Fit
You achieve fit when customers get
excited about your value proposition,
which happens when you address
important jobs, alleviate extreme
pains, and create essential gains that
customers care about.
Fit is hard to find and maintain.
63. So, what is PMF?
Marc Andressan (2007):
Product/market fit means being in a good market with a product that
can satisfy that market.
When you are BPMF, focus obsessively on getting to product/market
fit. Do whatever is required to get to product/market fit. Including
changing out people, rewriting your product, moving into a
different market, telling customers no when you don't want to,
telling customers yes when you don't want to, raising that fourth
round of highly dilutive venture capital -- whatever is required
Paul Graham (2008):
Make things people want.
Sean Ellis:
Achieving product/market fit requires at least 40% of users saying
they would be “very disappointed” without your product.
PMF as a pre-condition to scaling up business!
Michael Seibel (2016):
Focusing on market first!
64. How do you know you have “PMF”?
“You can always feel product/market fit when it's
happening. The customers are buying the product
just as fast as you can make it -- or usage is growing
just as fast as you can add more servers. Money from
customers is piling up in your company checking
account. You're hiring sales and customer support
staff as fast as you can. Reporters are calling
because they've heard about your hot new thing and
they want to talk to you about it. You start getting
entrepreneur of the year awards from Harvard
Business School. Investment bankers are staking out
your house.” – Marc Andreessen
65. …and when you don’t!
You can always feel when product/
market fit isn’t happening. The
customers aren’t quite getting value
out of the product, word of mouth isn’t
spreading, usage isn’t growing that
fast, press reviews are kind of “blah”,
the sales cycle takes too long, and lots
of deals never close. – Marc
Andreessen
72. Polycom
Jeff Rodman co-founded Polycom in 1990.
“There’s a big advantage in starting small. Polycom’s biggest
early breakthrough, for instance, came about as the result of a
95-cent book I purchased from RadioShack in 1991. That
pamphlet taught my cofounder and me about a nerdy topic
known as “acoustic suspension,” a concept that showed us the
fallacy in assuming that big sound demands a big loudspeaker.
Using this simple principle, we were able to go small by bringing
two separate acoustic environments into a compact space. That
tiny shift in our thinking is what set us on the path to selling
millions of phones and changing what conference rooms look
like today — a path that continues to be built from small
innovations, small designs, and small habits.
Over my 25 years at Polycom we’ve had our fair share of big
things, but they didn’t happen by making those big things the
centerpiece. Big things happen because of small things,
which means that if all you do is “go big,” you’ll never actually
get to your goal. To help escape the myth of going big, I want to
share three small things that I’ve learned make a big difference.”

73. Polycom
“It’s always tempting to try to capture some grand
solution in one leap. While that can happen, far
more often the best decisions and the best solutions
are constructed within an environment of small
habits, innovations, and designs. Going small
doesn’t mean you can’t go big. It means that
when you finally do get big, there is an excellent
chance for it to become a brilliantly remarkable big.”
• Small Innovations
• Small Designs
