In between the larger organizational goals and the day-to-day work of Development Teams, exists a vacuum. The thing about any vacuum is that it has an innate need to be filled. If we are not careful, this 'Product Management Vacuum' will get filled with meaningless busy work and extensive task management. Being busy without clear direction.
This session introduces the 3 V's -- Vision, Value, Validation -- as a way to get out in front of this problem.
This slide deck shares my thoughts on the product owner role. It discusses what it means to own a product, and how the product owner role can be scaled.
A. Kamran's DoD and DoR: Definition of Done and Definition of Ready in ScrumArman Kamran
Definition of what constitutes as a "Ready" PBI (Product Backlog Item) for the Development team to pull into a Sprint, and what makes that PBI considered as "Done" for the Product Owner to review and accept or reject, is a vital factor in building and maintaining a functional and ever improving relationship between PO and the Dev Team.
Here he look at best practices in doing so!

Product Roadmaps - Tips on how to create and manage roadmapsMarc Abraham
This presentation is focused on two areas with respect to product roadmaps. Firstly, a roadmap is a not a loose collection of timings and features. Secondly, it is key to define a product vision, goals and strategy before creating a roadmap.
Learn to effectively and efficiently explore, evaluate, and confirm a shared understanding of refined backlog items using Structured conversations with the 7 Product Dimensions so they are ready for implementation.
(Presented at Agile Day New York City September 2018)
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.
From Impacts to Specifications
This is a compilation of several of my presentations for working with agile requirements on different goal levels, and how impact mapping, story mapping and specification-by-example work together.
Project To Product: How we transitioned to product-aligned value streamsTasktop
The project to product movement is quickly gathering speed - a recent Gartner report found that 85% of respondents are shifting to a product-centric mentality. However, the complexity and uncertainty of software delivery at scale, coupled with the sheer number of people involved in the process, is too much for traditional project management techniques. Motivation is not enough to achieve a successful transformation—the product-centric model requires new skill sets, different investments and a change in culture.
What does the shift away from project-thinking really look like?
During this webinar, Tasktop VP of Product Development, Nicole Bryan, combines our own journey with the experience of working with our enterprise customers, to paint a clear picture of the cross-organizational challenges in store - and how you can address them by:
- Adopting a “customer-first” mindset
- Appointing a Product Value Stream Lead and a Product Manager
- Implementing the Flow Framework™ to align the language of IT with the language of the business
Successfully support the implementation and execution of Program Increments (PI) according to the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe) with Objective Key Results (known from Google)

The Art of the Retrospective: How to run an awesome retrospective meetingChris Smith
The drive to inspect and adapt is one of the most important aspects of agile software development. A great way to bake this approach into your process is by having regular retrospective meetings that engage and challenge the team to solve their own problems and make things better. However, these meetings can be difficult to run well and drive improvement. In fact, many teams sleepwalk through sessions, treating them as a box-ticking exercise that signals the end of the iteration.
Maybe its time we tried a bit harder to make retrospective meetings work?
In this talk, Chris explains how to put together an awesome sprint retrospective. He discusses the following:
* Why retrospectives can be unpopular
* Structuring the meeting to succeed
* Setting the right tone
* Activities to gather data
* Activities to generate insights
* How to decide what to do
* How to manage retrospective actions

Presented at Ford's 2017 Global IT Learning Summit (GLITS)Ron Lazaro
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.
