This talk describes a product ownership model practiced by leading software development firms, including Pivotal Labs. Balanced team refutes the idea that Product Managers are "mini CEOs" who unilaterally set direction, and instead leverages a cross-functional team to work more quickly and smoothly.
The document discusses Kaizen, a workplace improvement process. It involves teams mapping out their work processes through flowcharts. They identify value-added, non-value added, and waste steps. The goal is to make non-value added steps as small as possible and remove waste steps through small, continuous changes. Teams will measure their work before and after changes to see if improvements were made. The process aims to remove waste and make work more efficient over time through teamwork and suggestions.
The document discusses the Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement. Kaizen focuses on making small, incremental changes over time to optimize processes and quality. It is a collaborative approach that involves all stakeholders. The 10 step Kaizen process identifies problems, plans and implements solutions, then measures results to identify areas for further improvement. The goal is to empower teams to continuously enhance their work through data-driven experiments and adjustments.
Leo Nilsson - Maintaining Product Values at ScaleTuring Fest
This document discusses how to maintain core product values at scale for a company. It recommends starting with a clear customer-centric vision and goals, and organizing around solving specific customer problems and behaviors rather than just the development organization. It also advises creating alignment and focus through rigorous prioritization to avoid pursuing all good ideas. Product teams should be empowered with customer-focused missions tied to company goals, and autonomous but aligned on strategic, tactical, and operational time horizons.
This is the Introduction To Lean Startup that has been presented at the Lean Startup Conference since 2012. It presents the key concepts of Lean Startup in a succinct and memorable way, with a few graphs and charts.
This is the handout that we used during the first-ever workshop based on Eric Ries's Leader's Guide. This work is based on a pre-release draft of the book, and includes many hands-on activities for putting the Leader's Guide into practice. Consider this Iteration Zero.
This document discusses ways for managers to improve organizational output. It defines manager output as the output of the units they supervise, including revenue, employee happiness, and customer satisfaction. It explains the difficulties of transitioning from individual contributor to manager due to differences in focus and work. Some key ways discussed to improve output include focusing on measurable indicators, using processes, making decisions efficiently, providing training, motivating employees, and setting clear expectations. The overall message is that investing in people through coaching and development is vital for managers to increase organizational performance.
Commitment Setting for Growth and InnovationToni Fadnes
Organizations function best when people work cooperatively based on respect. Strong commitments help ensure work aligns with an organization's success. Commitments should be specific, measurable, achievable, results-based, and time-bound. A good commitment provides a clear goal that can be measured, such as training a specific number of developers in a particular topic by a certain date.

This document discusses metrics and measurement for startups. It emphasizes that companies should choose metrics carefully and measure things that truly matter for the business. It recommends identifying a "North Star" metric that reflects overall business success, and then determining the 1-3 key drivers of that metric across the company. Regular growth meetings should be held to track progress on experiments and ensure everyone understands how their work impacts the North Star metric. Establishing this process can help accelerate learning and focus the entire company on the most important work.

Prioritising Everything: Making Decisions When Nothing Makes Sense w/ John Si...TheFamily
The convention in startupland is that moving fast, putting in the energy, time and work are the guiding principles that yield results - and ultimately growth. While these are key factors in how we prioritise experiments and make decisions, there's one element missing - direction. What's often ignored in the prioritisation process are the vectors of velocity, momentum, and lift as they relate to how we decide what to do next.
Choosing the 'right' thing to experiment on
-Litmus tests for understanding the health of users
-Strategies for product scoping, and growth
-Arriving to the right metrics
Being comfortable with change
-Knowing team and what brings them energy
-The evolution of processes over time
-Growing product, team, culture, and community in flux
Coming to conclusions and the next choice
-Reflection and retrospectives
-Learning to say "No" or, "Not right now"
-Picking the next thing to work/experiment on
John Sirisuth, Head of Growth at OurPath, joined us at The Family to share his early insights on leading Growth, prioritising experiments, and creating a company culture where Growth is all-hands-on-deck.
The document outlines a process for innovating and transforming dreams into reality. It involves generating needs, generating ideas to meet those needs, selecting ideas for innovation, carrying out innovation work, implementing ideas if feasible, and focusing intensely on ideas while maintaining secrecy, efficiency, and a spiritual approach to earn rewards for successful innovations.
Martin Christensen argues that A/B testing alone is not sufficient for user experience (UX) design and research. While A/B testing can identify what design variations perform better, it does not explain why some variations work better than others. Simple user research techniques like interviews can provide needed context to understand users and complement A/B testing. An effective approach involves iterative development informed by user research to understand user needs, followed by A/B testing to identify the best design, rather than relying solely on A/B testing.

How To Scale Your Product Through Experimentation w/ Milena Court, Product Ma...TheFamily
A detrimental mistake many startups do is neglecting product experimentation. They focus mainly on experimentation in marketing - optimising ads, copy, creatives, landing pages - because it's relatively easy to do. But this kind of negligence is extremely damaging for your success!
But why don't more startups do this then?
EARLY-STAGE - Specific challenges:
-No budget: “proper” testing tools quite expensive
-Little data to play with
-Not sure what to experiment on / what moves the metrics
massively?
-No time; need to focus on the business
GROWTH STAGE - Specific challenges:
-More budget now, but limited by free tools
-More data about what's happening but not really sure why it's
happening
-So many ideas and opportunities, how to prioritise?
SCALING STAGE - Specific challenges:
-All tools in place, but now constrained by tech time: experiments
need to be “bigger” to have impact + are competing with other
projects
-Harder to experiment with the core product, the company is
branching out on other products
-Experimentation becomes scarier: more users, more to lose,
users get used to things being a certain way (“Why did they
change the UI again?”)
Milena Court, Product Manager in the Growth Squad at Tails.com, joined us at The Family to share her incredible expertise and explain how to overcome the above challenges!

There are no bad clients, just bad project managersAmazee Labs
A project manager talks to the development team...
'Sorry guys, the design is not yet approved, but we need to start implementing. Can we just start with what we have and hope it will not change too much?'
'Hi guys, can we still implement this one change request? I promise it is the last one…'
'Sorry, the client didn't test well, so that is why we have all these bugs online that we need to fix asap…'
Does that sound familiar to you?
A main reason why project managers struggle is because managing clients is so hard. Every client is different in various ways that affect the project - decision making processes, work modes, reliability, expectations of an agency etc.
Before I started working at a Drupal agency I worked for years on the client side. I want to share my best practices with you on how to get to know your client as fast as possible, to build up a trustworthy relationship and how to manage a project transparently and efficiently.

The document discusses using Net Promoter Score (NPS) in Moodle to gauge learner engagement, including how to set up an NPS feedback activity, analyze the learning analytics, and take action based on the feedback; NPS is typically used to measure customer loyalty and satisfaction on a scale of how likely they are to recommend a product or service to others; the presentation demonstrates how to build NPS reports in Moodle to collect feedback and monitor scores over time in order to make improvements.
Slides for the online Morgenbooster 'Design Doing is Strategy on Demand'1508 A/S
1. The document advocates for an approach to strategy that focuses on developing hypotheses and continuously validating them through design, execution, and measurement of outcomes rather than strategizing in isolation.
2. Key aspects of this approach include translating strategic goals into testable hypotheses, gathering customer insights, rapidly prototyping ideas, and constantly measuring outcomes to inform the evolution of strategies.
3. This dynamic and ongoing process aims to close the gap between strategy development and execution by engaging in creative problem-solving through design.

NPS (Net Promoter Score) - Science or PseudoscienceProduct Anonymous
The document discusses the Net Promoter Score (NPS) metric for measuring customer loyalty and likelihood to recommend a company. While NPS is widely used, the document notes it has limitations and may not be a reliable or predictive measure in all industries and situations. Specifically, NPS can be volatile, obscure other important information, and may not accurately reflect future business success or growth since loyalty is only one contributing factor. The document provides tips on how to use NPS more effectively by combining it with other qualitative and quantitative customer feedback metrics.
The Product Mindset- Jonny Schneider (ThoughtWorks Live)Thoughtworks
Jonny explores achieving customer value in the digital age. More than just experiments and customer centricity, adaptive strategies are required, where decisions are based on learning through doing.
This document provides guidance for mentors at a startup weekend event. It explains that mentors should help teams work through a process of identifying problems, hypothesizing solutions, discovering customer needs, and iterating based on feedback. Mentors are assigned to teams to ask questions that move the teams toward judging criteria in customer validation, business model, and execution. The questions focus on problem definition, solution testing, market research, prototype building, and customer validation. Mentors should track team progress and be available to multiple teams. Presentation workshops are also recommended to help teams prepare for the final judging.
This document outlines steps for conducting a Lean UX workshop to define hypotheses. It discusses establishing assumptions about customers, desired outcomes, and features to test assumptions. Participants brainstorm potential users, needs, and metrics to measure success. Features are then organized into themes. Hypothesis statements are created linking assumptions about doing something for certain people to achieve outcomes, with evidence of success. The riskiest assumptions are prioritized for initial testing to reduce risk and waste. The goal is to define hypotheses to guide product development in testing assumptions.

- High tempo testing is a system for growth that focuses on testing new solutions quickly and cheaply through an agile process of building, testing, and analyzing experiments.
- The key is to have the proper framework of goals, metrics, and a repeatable process of ideating, prioritizing, running experiments, and analyzing results to improve the customer acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, and referral (AARRR) funnel.
- A growth team should consist of roles like a growth master, developer, analyst, and specialists in areas like UX, content, and SEO who work together within the testing system to identify ideas, run experiments, and learn what drives growth.

Here's Stephen Pavlovich's slides from the Digital Gaggle conference in Bristol on Thursday 21st September. His talk was about CRO and applying an experimentation framework across all parts of your business.
This document outlines Lean UX principles and processes. Some key points:
- Lean UX follows principles of design thinking, agile development, and lean startup to improve user experience through cross-functional collaboration, continuous learning and iteration.
- Teams are small, focused on solving one problem at a time through hypothesis-driven experiments rather than predefined features. The goal is to learn from users, not just produce outputs.
- The process involves declaring assumptions, creating minimum viable products to test hypotheses, running experiments to get user feedback, and using insights to iterate quickly through small batches.
- Personas, user stories and features are defined based on the problem statement and assumptions to guide collaborative design and rapid protot

As technologists, we love to build things. And we sometimes forget that our customers (or potential customers) don’t care about what we’re building-- they care about what they’re building, doing, or feeling. In this talk, we’ll explore methodologies that help us continually focus on our customers’ needs, building just enough to learn and iterate towards their desired outcomes.
This document provides best practices and strategies for optimizing email marketing campaigns. It discusses testing different subject lines, personalization techniques, content types, and call-to-action buttons. Case studies show how segmentation, purging inactive contacts, behavioral nurturing, and video led to increases in open rates, conversions, and meetings booked. The key takeaways are to test continually, track what grabs attention, understand audiences, and use personalization and motion judiciously.

PUTTING THE VALUE BACK IN VALUE ENGINEERING: Leveraging Lean thinking to Driv...Amanda Ross
The document discusses the concept of value engineering and how it can be used to drive innovation at scale. It defines value engineering as systematically managing uncertainty and return on innovation through rapid experimentation to identify winning ideas. Key aspects of value engineering discussed include defining outcome-based metrics, driving rapid feedback, and using tools to support the value engineering cycle. Examples and case studies are provided of how various companies have leveraged value engineering approaches.
Ideas are never a problem. Each team working on a software project knows how easy is to fill the backlog with 100 new things to build. The most challenging part comes when it’s necessary to make decisions about what to include or exclude. How can we connect the work to high-level business results, and at the same time, leave the space for exploring uncertainty? This talk describes an outcome-first approach to strategy and prioritization. With examples coming from the real-life experience, it shows how it’s possible to balance team autonomy and a global product direction. How a value-based prioritization creates an adaptive, learning culture, enabling cross-functional and collaborative decision making.
How to Master Product Management Case Studies by fmr Groupon PMProduct School
Main takeaways
- How does one proceed in an interview when given a product case study to solve
- What are some of the most common case questions to practice
- What hiring managers are looking for when asking candidates to solve a product case
- The importance of a good hypothesis
- Best frameworks that can come in handy
The document discusses the goals and methods of the OAC (Organization for Accountability and Change) which emphasizes fast iteration, customer feedback, and validated learning to develop products. The key methods discussed are building minimum viable products (MVPs) to test business hypotheses quickly and using a "build-measure-learn" feedback loop to determine when to persevere or "pivot" a strategy based on what is learned. The goal is to minimize wasted time and resources by learning quickly what customers want through empirical testing of assumptions.
The document discusses lean analytics and lean principles for software development. It describes the main stages of product development - empathy, stickiness, virality, revenue, and scale. For each stage, it recommends key metrics to measure, such as daily/weekly active users for stickiness, viral coefficient for virality, and quarterly recurring revenue for revenue. It emphasizes focusing on one metric that matters the most for each stage, measuring assumptions in the right order, and using both qualitative and quantitative metrics for continuous learning and improvement.
The document discusses how agencies can thrive in a post-AOR world where clients work with multiple specialized agencies rather than a single full-service agency. It recommends that agencies (1) focus on developing expertise in specific categories, (2) adopt agile project management practices like breaking work into small increments, (3) price work based on delivering value rather than hours worked, and (4) operate teams at less than full capacity to improve quality and delivery.
This document provides a framework for developing a startup idea through customer discovery and validation. It outlines conducting surveys and customer interviews to define the problem, develop a solution hypothesis, research existing solutions, build a minimum viable product, test sell the MVP to validate customer interest, and iterate based on customer feedback. The framework includes templates for documenting each step of the process under the headings of Build, Measure, and Learn to capture customer insights and progress toward product-market fit. It emphasizes validating the problem and solution with potential customers before further developing the business model or product.

Microservice Teams - How the cloud changes the way we workSven Peters
A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.
