Wonful ran a workshop for the State of Washington's Department of Retirement Services on using Liberating Structures to brainstorm, work as groups, and make meetings suck less!
Slides and harvest from a webinar I facilitated for the Mid Atlantic Facilitators Network on February 7, 2104. This is a cleaned up version of the slides with the chat notes processed into the slides as a "harvest" of people's inputs and participation
You will learn how to facilitate the discussions your org needs and your org will learn how to have constructive dialogs. I am going to demonstrate how to use these techniques in the workshop. And all the attendees are going to be fully immersed and ready to wield their new knowledge the very next day at work.
Come learn how to help your team(s), org(s), and company(ies)!!!

For our teams tasked with building products and features for The New York Times, we face a common challenge with many: how do we figure out what’s worth spending our time on?
The answer seems straightforward: test your ideas with real customers, leveraging the expertise of your product, UX, and engineering talent. Figure out the smallest test that you can come up with to test a specific hypothesis, gather data and insights, and keep iterating on it until you know whether the problem is real and your solution will prove valuable, usable, and feasible.
As part of our efforts to adopt such a data-driven, experimental approach to product development, we recently kicked off a product discovery pilot program. Small, cross-functional teams were paired with coaches and facilitators over a six week period to demonstrate how product discovery and Lean Startup techniques could work for real-world customer opportunities at The New York Times.
One of the first things that we learned about the process from our participants was that they wanted a "toolkit" - something to help them figure out what they should be doing, asking or making to get as quickly as possible towards the validated learning, prototypes and user tests that would have the most impact.
To help the facilitate the learning process for our dual-track Agile teams, the Product Architecture team here at The Times (Christine Yom, Jim Lamiell, Josh Turk, Priya Ollapally, and Al Ming) built a "Product Discovery Activity Guide" that rolled up activities, exercises, and testing techniques from all our favorite thought leaders.
This included brainstorming exercises from Gamestorming and Innovation Games, testing techniques from traditional user research, and rapid test-and-learn tactics from Google Ventures, Eric Ries (The Lean Startup), Jeff Gothelf (Lean UX), Steve Blank (Customer Development) and our spirit guide, Marty Cagan (Inspired), among others.
Our goal was to make it a tool not just for learning how to get started, but to be a living document for teams to share knowledge about the process itself. What techniques worked and didn't work? What tactics did they learn elsewhere that might be worth sharing with the rest of the company?
We hope you find it useful, and whether you’d like to share with us what you’re doing with it, or you have suggestions (big or small) to improve it for future product generations, please let us know! (nyt.tech.productarchitecture@nytimes.com)

Y Media Labs has over 200 employees worldwide and have helped over 21 Fortune 500 companies achieve success in mobile. Media Lab has a podcast on Alpha UX, Partnering with an Agency in Product Management.
To capture and externalise the product vision will provide advantages to the process and the team. You will now have a singular representation, a visible artefact to throw tomatoes at, and the ability to test and improve any or all elements.
Teresa Torres - An introduction to modern product discovery - Productized16Productized
The world of product management is changing quickly. In the past five years alone, we’ve seen the rise of The Lean Startup, design thinking, the Jobs-to-be-done framework, design sprints, OKRs, and much more. It can be hard for product teams to keep up. In this talk, you’ll learn a simple framework for how to make sense of all of these trends. You’ll learn how to mix and match methods in a way that leads to a coherent strategy that leads to better products.
Teresa is a product coach helping teams adopt user-centered, hypothesis-driven product development practices, and is the creator of Product Talk. She works with companies of all sizes on integrating user research, experimentation, and the right analytics into the product development process resulting in better product decisions.
This is adapted from our workshop at Mind the Product/London 2017. In this full-day session, we talked through the purposes of a roadmap and a process for establishing your product's vision, gaining alignment with your stakeholders, validating themes, and presenting to upper level execs in order to maximize your team's impact.
Would you like to be able to increase the adoption rate of your product? In this session, we will introduce you to cutting edge concepts and techniques to shift your product development process from output to outcome driven. We will combine elements of Lean Startup, Product Discovery, and Experiment Driven Development to accelerate learning to quickly build products customer love.
The Product Visioning Workshop: A Proven Method for Product Planning and Prio...Perfetti Media
Is your team looking for new product concepts to capture a new market? Do you need to establish a long-term product strategy? Are you working to set a direction to drive roadmap decisions?
In this presentation, we will share a proven approach for creating a long-term product vision that your team can understand and rally behind. We will share all of the techniques you'll need to successfully run a Product Visioning Workshop with your product team and business stakeholders.
You will learn how to create a long-term vision for your product, establish consensus and buy-in across your organization, and prioritize features for the product roadmap. Your product managers will come away equipped to create roadmaps that align with your long-term product strategy.
Shifting From Managing By Outputs To Managing By Outcomes
If you are like most leaders, you got to where you are because you are good at making decisions. You can quickly go from strategy to execution. You know exactly what should be done next. But for most of us, this strength can become a weakness. When we make all the output decisions (e.g. what to build, what programs to roll out, how a process should work), our company’s solutions are only as good as we are. To avoid this trap, instead of telling our teams what to do, we need to tell them what outcomes we expect them to drive. It’s a subtle, but powerful shift. In this talk, Teresa will explore how your role changes when you manage by outcomes.
The Prime Directive. How To Charter Your Team Best (With LEGO Serious Play)Michael Tarnowski
Team chartering is generally used at the start of a project only, and team charters tend to be quite general and abstract.
In this hands-on session of Agile Cambridge Conference 2015, we will use the 'Lego Serious Play' method to develop a team-specific team charter, which fits individual team goals and can be adapted continuously.
Every venture capitalist, board member and startup advisor counsels the entrepreneur to focus on building their minimum viable product (MVP). But how exactly does a company build out its MVP? Learn how the right framework guides your development from MVP to a mature product.
Gathering and defining software requirements is difficult. One Agile technique to help address this challenge is writing user stories, which are short descriptions of functions that an end-user would want. While user stories help convert concepts into functions, writing good user stories is easier said than done.
What you’ll learn in this presentation:
• The basics of user stories.
• How user stories fit into the overall Agile planning process.
• How to write a user story.
Behind every great product is a great team doing work in a way that guarantees results. They are following a roadmap from the starting point to the end product. But a product roadmap can be elusive. This talk addresses why it is important and presents an approach to make one.
How agile coaches help us win the agile coach role @ SpotifyBrendan Marsh
In this talk, we cover:
- What is an Agile Coach at Spotify?
- What do they do?
- Why do we believe they help us win?
We also talk about:
- How do we scale or Organisation?
- High Performing Teams (What is a high performing team?)
- How are we measuring High Performance right now?
- How do we help teams reach High Performance?
Appendix:
- Chapter = Competency group
- Chapter Lead = Hiring Manager for Developer (or other) competency
Creating a backlog of user stories is pretty straight forward but it doesn't help you when it comes to decisions like what to build first, how to prioritize and groom the backlog, how to scope and plan the project, and how to visualize progress. The traditional backlog is simply too flat and often too long to help you see the bigger picture and make good decisions. User Story Mapping helps simplify all of these common project issues. By adding a third dimension to your backlog, your team will make better decisions about priorities, scope, and planning while improving your ability to visualize progress.
In this practical session I’ll cover the basics of user story mapping before walking you through case studies of how our teams are using this approach and the results we are achieving. I'll show you the before, during, and after pictures from several projects so that you can understand how our maps progress during the projects and how we use them to influence iterative development, promote good decision making, and visualize priorities, plans, scope and progress.

Leading Without Seeing: managing distributed teamsShane Pearlman
The rules are the same. Treat people well. Expect great things from them. Be human. The details though, they make all the difference. Managing the nuances of engagement and productivity with a couple thousand miles between you and your team is both science and art. My name is Shane. I have been running a fully distributed team of 20-40 North American creatives for the last 5 years. Our success has come from a cohesive set of technical and cultural systems: the right people, the right environment and the right tools.
* Build the right team: happy, helpful, curious & accountable
* The rhythm: offer consistency
* Relationships in the void
* Use the right tools
