Actionable Product Strategy Resources you need to put more strategic practice into the hands of Product Teams

One of the characteristic of Agile Development is the Continuous Delivery of Value which can be measured through Net Present Value.

How do you define the value of your market offering? Can you measure it? Few suppliers in business markets are able to answer those questions, and yet the ability to pinpoint the value of a product or service for one’s customers has never been more important. By creating and using what the authors call customer value models, suppliers are able to figure out exactly what their offerings are worth to customers. Field value assessments—the most commonly used method for building customer value models—call for suppliers to gather data about their customers firsthand whenever possible. Through these assessments, a supplier can build a value model for an individual customer or for a market segment, drawing on data gathered from several customers in that segment. Suppliers can use customer value models to create competitive advantage in several ways. First, they can capitalize on the inevitable variation in customers’ requirements by providing flexible market offerings. Second, they can use value models to demonstrate how a new product or service they are offering will provide greater value. Third, they can use their knowledge of how their market offerings specifically deliver value to craft persuasive value propositions. And fourth, they can use value models to provide evidence to customers of their accomplishments. Doing business based on value delivered gives companies the means to get an equitable return for their efforts. Once suppliers truly understand value, they will be able to realize the benefits of measuring and monitoring it for their customers.

Michael was asked the other day to describe culture in a way that defined its purpose in terms that went beyond the usual cliché of “It's the way we do things around here”.

Effective collaboration in teams is crucial for success, especially in the context of agile methods such as Scrum. Working agreements play a

Why create a team working agreement? A team working agreement provides an agreed upon set of guidelines for a Scrum Team to follow, so everyone understands what is expected as they work together in pursuit of delivering value. A team can use a working agreement to help them work toward self-management.

Learn everything you need to get started with working agreements: the what, the why, best practices, and example templates.

It appears that the performance of the task provides its own intrinsic reward…this drive…may be as basic as the others…. —Daniel Pink [1] Principle #8 – Unlock the Intrinsic Motivation of Knowledge Workers Details Lean-Agile leaders have acknowledged a game-changing truth: attempting to ‘manage’ knowledge workers with traditional task management is counterproductive. Management visionary Peter Drucker was one of the first to point this out: “That [knowledge workers] know more about their job than anybody else in the organization isRead more

According to the Scrum Guide, Scrum Teams are “self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how.”It seems straightforward. And yet, this simple phrase is one of the most commonly misunderstood in the Scrum Guide. Self-managing doesn’t mean that the Scrum Team — or the Scrum Master — is all-powerful. (Sorry, not sorry!) It means that the organization gives the Scrum Team the mandate to deliver value according to the product vision and goal within a set of guardrails.

A self-managed team is responsible for organizing and managing its work without a traditional hierarchical structure.

"The Wisdom of Teams" is the definitive work on how to create high-performance teams in any organization. Having sold nearly a half million copies and been translated into more than fifteen languages, the authors' clarion call that teams should be the basic unit of organization for most businesses has permanently shaped the way companies reach the highest levels of performance. Using engaging case studies and testimonials from both successful and failed teams--ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the U.S. Army to high school sports--the authors explain the dynamics of teams both in great detail and with a broad view. Their conclusions and prescriptions span the familiar to the counterintuitive: Commitment to performance goals and common purpose is more important to team success than team building; Opportunities for teams exist in all parts of the organization; Real teams are the most successful spearheads of change at all levels; Working in teams naturally integrates performance and learning; Team "endings" can be as important to manage as team "beginnings." Wisdom lies in recognizing a team's unique potential to deliver results and in understanding its many benefits--development of individual members, team accomplishments, and stronger companywide performance. Katzenbach and Smith's comprehensive classic is the essential guide to unlocking the potential of teams in your organization.
