Listen to the audio version of this article: [link]. 1 The Product Roadmap is a Feature-based Plan. Traditional product roadmaps are usually output-focussed plans that map a list of features, like registration, search, and reporting, onto a timeline. Such a roadmap essentially states when a piece of functionality will be delivered. This can be reassuring for customers and stakeholders.

As a product discovery coach, I get asked a lot of questions. This makes complete sense—as people read my book, take one of my courses , go through my training , or watch one of my talks, they naturally wonder about applying the concepts of continuous discovery to their own work. They consider the ideas in the context of their own team and company. And sometimes they simply need a little further clarification and guidance in order to feel confident taking the next steps.

As you start to adopt the continuous discovery habits, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by how much stuff you generate. What do I mean by “stuff”? Opportunity solution trees , experience maps, interview snapshots, interview notes and recordings, story maps , assumption maps, assumption test plans , and results. Inevitably, you might start to wonder, “How should I keep track of all of this stuff?

Listen to this article: [link]. What the Scrum Master Should Do. While the role is discussed in many books and articles, I find that it is still not always correctly understood. What’s more, it’s not uncommon in my experience that product owners have to do their job without the support of a Scrum Master or agile coach. So why is the role important? I view the Scrum Master as someone who takes care of process, collaboration, and organisational change issues.

Listen to this article: [link]. Inspiring. An inspiring vision creates a meaningful purpose for everyone involved in making the product a success including the stakeholders and development team members. It helps people understand how their work relates to a bigger whole and how their efforts create a positive change. It also allows you, as the person in charge of the product, to understand if dedicating your time and energy to the offering is worthwhile and sustainable.

Listen to this article: [link]. Why the Scrum Team is Not Enough. Scrum is a popular agile framework. Its strength is, at least partly, based on its roles with the Scrum team being the fundamental unit. This team consists of a product owner , a Scrum Master , and several developers, which are also known as development team. Forming such a team connects the person in charge of the product—the product owner—with the people who design, architect, program, test, and document the solution—the develop

Empathy entails a warm-hearted, open, and kind attitude. This does not mean, though, that you must like the other person and that you must be happy and smiley all the time—nor does it mean sugar-coating messages, only telling people what they want to hear, and putting up with issues.

“I get that the continuous discovery habits framework works well for mature products, but does it work for early-stage startups?”. This question always surprises me. I spent all of my full-time employee experience at early-stage startups (many of them pre-product) and I relied on these same habits to figure out what to build. But the more I talk with people, the clearer their concerns have become.
