Planning Product Discovery
svpg
NOVEMBER 28, 2016

We need to come up with a solution to a particular problem, and often this is straight forward, and we can proceed quickly to delivery work.

The way out of prescriptive feedback: A simple framework for alignment and freedom
Bruno Bergher's Writing
NOVEMBER 28, 2016
I bet you’ve experienced it. You put a ton of thought into something, and present it to someone, looking for feedback. But they crush your dreams. Instead of giving you room to make things better, they prescribe solutions, they tell you what to do. Or perhaps you’ve been on the other side. Someone on your team is presenting something to you.
