Agile Product Discovery
This document discusses product discovery and defines it as determining "what to build", "why is this product needed", "who has the problem", and "what should be built". Traditional product discovery is viewed as pre-work to generate ideas, but it faces challenges in fast-paced environments where needs change. Agile focuses on how to build well but not what to build. The document advocates for modern product discovery approaches like design thinking, lean startup, and dual-track development to focus on quick, validated learning through customer development and business model innovation. Key aspects of product discovery discussed are understanding customer pain points, jobs-to-be-done, and determining what customers would pay for.
Lean Product Discovery
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.
Product Validation With Product Discovery
This document discusses product validation through product discovery. It notes that 64% of software features are rarely or never used, so product discovery is important to ensure the right product is built for the right audience. Product discovery involves understanding customer needs through techniques like ideation, opportunity assessments, customer discovery, story mapping, MVP testing, prototypes, and user testing to minimize risks and learn fast. The goal is to gain evidence that the product engineers build will not be a wasted effort. Product discovery is then followed by product delivery to build and ship the product.
Product Discovery General Assembly Jan 10 2012
The document outlines Kevin Wang's approach to product discovery, which involves talking to customers to validate ideas before building full products. It recommends building prototypes, testing them with users, and measuring quantitatively and qualitatively to learn whether the solution addresses customer needs. The process aims to quickly build the smallest viable product and make changes based on learnings, in order to find product-market fit and avoid building unnecessary features.
7 steps of product discovery
Discovering the right product is a vital part of a product development process. To do that effectively best product teams use a Product Discovery process. It answers the question of what product to build. Done right it helps you build products customers would love.
Lean product discovery: Build the right sh*t - ProductCamp Austin - PCA19
How do you know what you should be building? Are your customers requests actually what they need? Do they know what they want? … and more importantly, what’s the real cost of getting it wrong? Lean Product Discovery is an easy way to help answer these questions and validate (or define) what you’re about to build. Reconsider your ever growing backlog of epics and stories into a validated list of customer value. Transform your team from being a “feature factory” to becoming a squad of strategic feature ninjas. In this session we will overview Lean Product Discovery, go over strategies, tactics and tips to establish an environment of testing and validation. Although I’m categorizing this under “Product Strategy,” this topic crosses into half of the categories offered. Nobody puts Lean Product Discovery in a corner.

Joe Stump
The document provides advice for improving software product development through better collaboration between different roles. It recommends that engineers be involved early in the product design process to address technical challenges. It also advocates for an iterative development approach where minimal viable products are built and tested with users to validate assumptions before adding more features. This helps shorten feedback loops and avoid building features that do not solve real problems.

The Lean Startup: Building Something People Want
The document discusses the Lean Startup approach, which aims to efficiently search for a successful business model by building something, measuring how people respond to it, and learning from that feedback to iterate the product or idea. The Lean Startup means combining lean principles of eliminating waste with a startup mindset. It emphasizes getting customer feedback early through a "build-measure-learn" loop, minimizing work-in-progress, conducting quick experiments, and having fun. The document provides 10 tips for applying the Lean Startup approach, such as asking "why?" five times to understand root causes and building the "simplest thing that could possibly work."
Working Smarter: Integrating lean startup practices into your company
Case study & afternoon keynote presented at the Mobile + Web Developer Conference in San Francisco, 2015.
http://mobilewebdevconference.com/san-francisco-july-2015/agenda/day-two/300pm.html
"Innovate or die” is the mantra of successful companies. So how can we build innovation into our product development process? More and more teams are adopting lean startup techniques to discover customer needs, focus on building what is valuable, and ultimately deliver great products.
This talk will share how a small education technology startup I worked with in NY scaled from a handful of people to multiple products and teams across 3 countries using lean startup practices. At various stages of growth we faced different challenges in keeping our processes lean, but throughout the journey we tried, failed and learned how to move fast and innovate.
Learn hands-on tools & techniques for applying lean that any team can start small and quickly see results, such as:
* How to move faster using collaborative, cross-functional teams
* Lightweight dev tools for scaling design across many teams
* Building a lean mindset in larger organizations
With real examples and artifacts you will learn how to manage - and thrive - using lean to create awesome products.
Blending Product Discovery and Product Delivery
More and more organizations are realizing that while they are getting more done, they are not necessarily getting more value. More code does not mean more product and more product does not mean more market share. According to David Hussman, we need to shift our focus toward a balanced investment in discovery and delivery without going back to gathering big requirements up front. To accomplish this, we need to embrace new discovery metaphors and practices. David draws on his years of experience working with product managers, heads of product, and product owners as he introduces ideas like mapping teams to product, product discovery cadence that feeds a product delivery cadence, how to learn outside the code, and when it is essential to learn in the code. If you are looking for a post-agile gem, drop in and be ready to move on, building on the past success of agile methods while looking toward a future where product learning is valued over process worship.

Become Efficient or Die: The Story of BackType
BackType helps businesses understand social media data through analytics tools and APIs. With a small team of 3 employees and funding of $1.4 million, they are able to process 100 million social media messages per day from over 30 terabytes of data using a 100-200 machine computing cluster. The company focuses on developing efficiently using agile and lean startup methodologies like testing hypotheses with fake features before building them out fully, avoiding overengineering, and paying down technical debt regularly through "BackSweeps".
Recruiting Technical Talent for Early Stage Startups
Whether you're a technical or non-technical founder you will need to recruit technical talent to help you scale your startup. In this talk, I'll cover strategies for how to attract and close top technical candidates for an early stage startup.
Product Discovery - 10 , 11 Sept
I talk I gave recently to the Stockholm Development department. I presented a model of 'Discovery/Delivery Loop' that incorporates UX Discovery into the software development process.
201 good product launch, bad product launch (john zilch)
The document discusses factors that contribute to good and bad product launches. A good product launch focuses on having a marketable product that meets customer demand and solves their problems. It launches at the right time and uses "pull" marketing to highlight the product's value and benefits. In contrast, a bad product launch releases a minimum viable product prematurely without fully understanding the market or customer needs. It relies on "push" marketing that emphasizes product features rather than why customers should buy. A good launch also ensures operational readiness to scale while a bad one lacks adequate planning and preparation.
193 engineering emotions (shobhit chugh)
A survey found that people describe work tools using words like "productive" and "efficient", while social tools are described as "fun" and "delightful". The document argues that products should merge productivity and delight by exceeding user expectations through small wins that can engineer positive emotions. It provides examples of how status updates, notifications, and daily summaries could be enhanced with delightful touches to turn customers into evangelists for a product.

Great products start with great planning. At Atlassian we take a multitude of approaches to plan our feature releases. Learn how you can take some of the practices the Confluence Product Management Team makes use of – such as product requirements, prototypes, customer interviews, and user journeys – to deliver great solutions for your customers.
How to build a startup if you are not technical
Busting the misconception that you must need a product for your startup. Start building the next billion dollar business without a line of code written.
Open Innovation is Eating The World
Open innovation is disrupting traditional business models. The document discusses how open hardware platforms like Hackster are enabling faster innovation through open sharing of projects and ideas. The CEOs of thriving hardware startups recommend embracing innovation as a core value, committing to genuine product-market fit to mitigate risks, exploring non-validated ideas for future growth, and following customers' journeys. Open innovation lowers barriers to entry and allows crowd-resourcing of ideas compared to traditional closed source and internally resourced models. The document encourages companies to try more open and uncomfortable practices like validating ideas on Kickstarter and paying bonuses for failed attempts.
Turn Signups into Sales
This document outlines an agenda for turning signups into sales. It discusses common problems with onboarding users, techniques for improving the user onboarding experience like creating how-to videos and designing frictionless experiences that build trust and delight users. The document also mentions getting teammates invested in improving onboarding by looking at how other companies like AirBnB and Rival IQ approach user onboarding.
Leading Agile Product Discovery
This document summarizes a presentation on agile product discovery and requirements gathering. The presentation covered facilitating product discovery through personas, story maps, and user story splitting. It emphasized the importance of writing small, independent user stories and outlined techniques for splitting large stories, such as by workflow steps, business rules, major efforts, simple/complex parts, and more. The goal is to develop stories that are independently valuable and easily estimated.
Lean startup overview
Lean Startup is a method for developing products and businesses using an iterative process of testing hypotheses and validating product-market fit. It emphasizes eliminating waste by building minimum viable products (MVPs) and continuously measuring key metrics like acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, and referral rates through the Build-Measure-Learn loop. Examples that have used Lean Startup principles successfully include Dropbox, which optimized its signup and sharing flows through analytics and testing, and Peernuts, which started with a blog post, small market, and minimal features before expanding based on customer feedback. The Lean Startup process aims to validate ideas more quickly and reduce risks compared to traditional product development approaches.
Introduction to The Lean Startup
This document provides an introduction to Lean Startup principles including customer development, minimum viable products, pivoting, and eliminating waste. It emphasizes that the majority of products fail because customers don't want them, not due to inability to build them. Lean focuses on learning what customers want through conversations rather than assumptions. Key steps are outlined such as conducting customer interviews and using a validation board to track progress.

The objective of the Lean Startup 101 training is to introduce the concepts, terminology and approaches — and, to help organizations overcome resistance accepting the new approach so that exploration and learning can begin. This practical, interactive session will provide a solid foundation for advanced sessions, including the Lean Startup 201 & 301. This training is designed for practitioners in both the enterprise and in startups who are relatively new to the Lean Startup approach or who are seeking a quick refresher. Lean Startup 101 is a perfect way to kick off your week of Lean Startup!
Thanks to Lean Startup Co.’s law firm, Orrick, for being the sponsor for this track.
How to run a discovery workshop
Під час доповіді поговоримо про участь бізнес-аналітиків і розкриємо основні складові discovery workshop:
- Організація. Коли проведення воркшопу, окрім стартової фази, є максимально ефективним?
- Підготовка. Як почати з нічого і якісно підготуватись до воркшопу у стислі терміни?
- Проведення: Workshop Do’s and Don’ts. Приклади технік і вправ, а також приблизний план самого воркшопу.
- Оформлення кінцевих результатів або презентації, що запам’ятовуються
Presented at Ford's 2017 Global IT Learning Summit (GLITS)
Presentation Details: The best way to think about product discovery is to think about it in relation to product delivery. It's not possible to build a product without doing both discovery and delivery. Discovery encompasses all the activities that we do to decide what to build. It includes all the decisions we make to decide what to build next, whereas delivery is all the activities we do to write code, package releases, ship products. It's how we deliver value to our customers.
Key takeaway for the participants will be to help them understand the difference between Product Discovery and Product Delivery and how to apply techniques in doing both.
Lean Startup 301
Aubrey Smith, Sparked Advisory
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.
