In this session, Steve Johnson discusses how to innovate your product planning process. You’ve found a problem the market is willing to pay you to solve. Your development team worked hard to build a product with excellent product-market fit. It’s going to take careful planning and precise execution to pull off a successful product launch. Will you be ready? Products today are released despite the process. Most teams are dealing with a chaotic process that few understand. And yet, every organization is unique—so your planning process should be too. Most organizations need a small number of living documents—fewer than 10—to guide product innovation and provide consistency in process and roles. In this session, we’ll show how to use the QuartzOpen™ canvas to define a nimble planning process that determines which activities, artifacts and roles are necessary in your business.
