Product Discovery
is a Team Effort
Product Discovery
is a Team Effort
Scoping is Also
a Team Effort
-
Project Management "Triangle"
-
Time vs. Cost vs. Resource vs. Scope
-
-
Do it together, but...
-
Be careful, as developers will lie!
(though they don't know it)
Scoping is Also
a Team Effort
Takeaway
Spot and reduce DELAY with cross-functional teams and overlapping skills
Tame CHAOS with clear leadership, roles, and psychological safety
Avoid OVERKILL by doing discovery and scoping as a whole team
... and remember:
product development is a social exercise
