Building Product Development Communities: From Startups to the Enterprise

Add to calendar

When we want to produce more product with the same number of staff, we normally think about adding more process. David Hussman believes we don’t necessarily need to do that. Instead of talking about scaling agile, David focuses on scaling product learning—while avoiding process inflation along the way. Topics he addresses are: moving from Scrum teams to product team to focus on product success, mapping teams to product(s), interconnecting product discovery and product delivery techniques, and the challenges associated with cross team dependencies and constraints when producing products at scale. If you are ready to move beyond Scrum, want to augment the product discovery components in SAFe, and learn earlier about product ideas and their customer impact, David will fill your head with new ideas, introducing you to concrete models and tools you can take back to your organization and put directly to use. Leave with a reinvigorating passion for what David always thought of as “just enough process” that produces more product learning, sooner.
