Updated February, 2020. As a Product Manager I love the words “market-driven” They have purpose and connotations of real market intelligence (“customer-centric” sits in the same bucket).

When going through an Agile transformation, Agile teams often feel like they have a good handle on Agile and Scrum.

No one likes having their time wasted. So before we do anything — whether that’s watching a movie or going to the gym — we ask ourselves: is it worth it ? When it comes to choosing a movie, you might lower your chances of wasting an hour or two watching a dud by reading reviews beforehand. And for something that has a bigger payoff, like the gym, you might invest in a personal trainer and commit more time to make sure you achieve your goal.
