Product Definition Workshop
According to the 16th Annual “State of Agile” report from Digital.ai, 49% of companies that have embraced Agile grapple with issues stemming from isolated delivery teams and obscured dependencies.
This predicament arises from a misconception. Many organizations have adopted Agile frameworks like Scrum but have not changed their focus to product delivery. Successful Agile teams must be cross-functional, with all the skills required to deliver functional products. But how do you know that your team is genuinely cross-functional? To do that, you must first define your products.
To do that, you must first define your products
Unfortunately, many companies have transitioned to Agile without first defining the products their teams will handle. This oversight leads to intricate dependencies, undermining collaborative efforts and value delivery.
You may need to step back and define products for your organization. By doing so, you remove unnecessary impediments and ensure that team members have a whole-product focus.
The Product Definition workshop helps your organizational leaders take a step back and define products for their organization. Understanding your products can help you bring together the people and teams needed to deliver them.
The Product definition workshop can profoundly impact your team’s ability to deliver value by removing unnecessary dependencies, limiting handoffs, and ensuring that the team focuses on the most essential work for your product.
