A Certain Success Product-Market Fit, as made popular by the great Sean Ellis , is a concept that revolves around a simple assumption. The assumption is that if you can create a product that fits perfectly with a specific market, then you’re onto a winner. So if, for example, your target market needs something to help them achieve A and help them solve B, then your product needs to do those things.

Agile transformations are tough. That’s because wherever you start, the agile transformation creates culture clashes. Often, teams start with agile approaches. Teams discover the agile approach and practices that work for that team. Then, as the team gains experience, they refine their approach and practices. That’s the external part of what we see in an agile transformation.

Both in life and at work, we tend to come up with solutions before defining the problem they solve. From “I need to stop eating chocolate” to “let’s add Facebook Login to our online checkout”, we can’t help it. It’s natural – solutions and features are easy to imagine and talk about with other people. And coming up with a solution is a rewarding experience, it makes us feel like we have everything figured out.

I joined Setapp as a product manager in January last year, at the same time as the company was launching its main product. Setapp provides Mac users with a way to use and discover new apps, and developers with a new way to reach customers and generate extra revenue. We liken Setapp to Netflix for Mac software: the user pays a monthly subscription and receives access to a suite of curated Mac apps.

Intercom’s mission is to make internet business personal. But it’s impossible to be personal when your product is broken. Uptime is critical to the success of our business, and not just because our customers are paying us, but also because we heavily dogfood our own product. If our product is down, we acutely feel our customer’s pain. Being on call out of office hours is inherently disruptive to your life.

Summary: Apply the same discovery processes to legacy products that you would if you were starting from scratch. Pocket-sized principles can guide the way your team works and the way you deliver value to your users. Legacy Products are Like Elephants – They’re not Very Agile. There are lots of opportunities to have an impact when working with tools that have come from a different time, but you need to consider how best to handle right at the start.
Speaker: Robert Webber, Author and Innovation Leader
Agile was a grassroots engineering movement that caught most software leaders unprepared. The Agile community was confident that management would recognize the benefits of Agile and adopt its servant-leadership style. Unfortunately, management in larger organizations maintained the directing and controlling management style that had been reinforced throughout their careers, violating the Agile tenet of trusted, self-motivated Agile teams.
