Lean and Agile methodologies have taught us to harness the power of iteration to innovate faster, but our ability to set the destination hasn’t kept pace. We execute fast, but in the absence of vision and strategy our products become bloated, fragmented, and driven by irrelevant metrics. They catch “product diseases” that are fatal to innovation.
In this talk you will learn to diagnose the product diseases that get in the way of Agile transformation. We’ll talk about why the current mantras for product development fall short. You’ll learn a radical and repeatable model for building world-changing products. You’ll walk away with practical tools for developing a vision for the change you want to bring about in the world and translating the vision into Agile execution.
