Product Agility

著者: Ben Maynard
  • サマリー

  • The world of Product Discovery and Creation is becoming increasingly challenging due to mistakes and missed opportunities that are prevalent in agile teams, large-scale Scrum and all other agile frameworks. History has shown that when organisations try and scale their product development to more than one cross-functional team, mistakes are made that cut short many chances of getting all possible benefits.

    The route of this for many is the need for more attention paid to the incredible advancements in Product Management driven by hordes of professional Product People who prove that making their customers happier is not a pipe dream but a hard and fast reality.

    This podcast exists to explore all topics related to Product and Agility and Coaching.

    How do you marry the agile principles with Product discovery?

    Is it really possible to have hundreds of cross-functional teams (or Product Teams) all working from an effectively prioritised single Product Backlog and a dedicated Product Owner?

    How can you embrace continuous improvement and empirical process control for your product, people and processes?

    Ever wondered how to overcome the problems people face when trying to scale the Product Owner role and how it relates to Product Management and Product Teams?

    Baffled by how to define a product in such a way that enables Feature Teams (aka Product Teams) and why doing wrong means you will only ever be stuck with technical teams?

    Scrum Teams are not compatible with modern product management techniques.

    Want to know what Product Focus means and how the right focus makes creating a shippable product less painful?

    Need to get your head around how to blend modern product management techniques with Sprint Planning and Sprint Reviews to achieve Product Increments that cover the entire product?

    This podcast's original focus was on Scaling Scrum vs Single-Team Scrum and how organisations can reap the benefits of Scrum when working on a larger product but still keeping a single product backlog. We found many Product People liked what we said, and then the penny dropped. This isn't a podcast about scaling Scrum or the limitations of single-team Scrum.

    This podcast is for Product People & agile advocates who coach or get their hands dirty with Product creation.

    We promise there is no Taboo topic that we will not explore on your behalf.

    We aim to transcend the conversations about a single team, Daily Scrums, Scrum Masters and the double-diamond and bring everyone together into responsible teams dedicated to working on the entire product to make their customers happier and their lives more fulfilling.

    Come and join us on our improvement towards perfection, and give us your feedback (we have a strong customer focus, too), and who knows, perhaps we will discover the magic wand that we can wave over all the broken agile and sudo-products to create a more resilient and adaptable future by bringing the worlds of Product, Agility and coaching together.

    This podcast has the conversations and insights you need.

  • Why Early Testing Beats Fancy Metrics Every Time, a CTO’s Guide to Building Products People Love (with Tamas Kokeny)
    2024/11/28

    Send us a text

    In this episode of the Product Agility Podcast, Ben welcomes Tamas Kokeny, CTO of Bobcats Coding, to explore the often-overlooked yet critical intersection of technology and product agility. Tamas brings his extensive technical expertise to discuss how to prioritise early testing over relying solely on sophisticated metrics to create products that truly resonate with users.

    If you've ever grappled with finding the balance between innovation and pragmatism in product development, this episode delivers insights and real-world advice to transform your approach.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Early Testing Over Perfection: Why embracing failure and quick iterations often yields better results than long-term product visions.
    • From Vision to Validation: Practical tips on avoiding the trap of building for months only to find no market fit.
    • Building the Right Infrastructure: Insights into setting up systems for continuous experimentation and feature toggling.
    • Mindset Shift: Moving from "house-building" to "evolutionary" thinking in digital product development.

    Practical Tools & Methods:

    • Concierge MVPs: How manual processes and simple tools like Google Sheets can validate ideas without heavy investment.
    • Feature Toggles: Streamline experimentation with small user cohorts before scaling features.
    • Case Study Insights: Stories of startups succeeding with minimal viable products and adaptive strategies.

    Quotable Moments:

    • "Most product ideas are bad, and that's okay. The goal is to quickly figure out which ones aren't."
    • "The infrastructure for testing isn't optional—it's the lifeblood of lean product development."
    • "Digital products should evolve daily, not be treated like static house blueprints."
