Moving to Lean Product Process
Giff Constable presents a methodology for adopting a lean product process in organizations. The process involves: 1. Forming small, cross-functional teams tasked with improving key performance indicators. 2. Developing hypotheses about potential product features to test before heavy investment rather than focusing on delivering features. 3. Implementing an agile process where features start as minimum viable experiments and iterate based on testing with customers.
