“The golden rule of organizational change - meet people where they are!”

🏭 FEATURE FACTORY

Start by identifying hidden assumptions → create a story map and add all the assumptions. This is valuable even if you don’t test them, it’ll show you how you think.

🌈 MESSY MIDDLE

It’s a really dangerous place to be, we can see the promised land but it’s so hard to get there. Create a bright spot that showcases that change can work using example, make your Product Trio the best one e.g.

[Product Trio - Product Person, Design Lead, Tech Lead]

⏮️ REVERTING BACK TO OLD HABITS

All humans do this when we’re under stress. They end up managing by output & we need to break that cycle by showing our work.

Bring your stakeholders along! Don’t only show conclusions, show how you got there, show your decision points.

🛠️ Tools from the book: interview snapshot, experience map, opportunity solution trees.

Keynote 2 by @johncutlefish about Habits 💫

Let’s reflect for a second - Check your calendar, what do you value? What are your zombie habits? What are our product resolutions?

Habits are part of the bigger picture.

#ProductAtHeart

Habit - Gathering Insights

Don’t make this your „going to the gym“ 😉

✨ intentional inquiry
✨ active listening
✨ thoughtful synthesis
✨ connect to decisions

@johncutlefish #ProductAtHeart

Habit - Don‘t just try to get faster

🚶‍♀️safe & frequent steps

Velocity is important - velocity of learning!

If story points are complexity, you want as few as possible! 😉

@johncutlefish

Habit - Balance

We tend to spent a lot of time on

🛣️ roadmaps, annual plans, estimations, designs, backlogs

We should spend just as much time on

🤯 observations, insights, action, result.

Habit - Celebrate 🎉

Ditch the performative celebrations, make it more human!

Keynote 3 - Why Every Leader is a Futurist by Alicia Shao

Everything we do, is forever.

Thinking about the future is like shining a flashlight. We cannot predict the future, but it can be our playground to think about what might be possible.

#ProductAtHeart

📚 STORYTELLING

We’re telling each other stories about the future to explore it.

Every experience we have with the future starts out in our minds.

🎨 SPECULATIVE DESIGN

Thinking about the future is not about creating a specific product, but to explore, finding problems, asking questions.

The future is not ours alone.

🧠 SYSTEM THINKING

Future is change rippling through a system. We need to think bigger and broader than ourselves.

Look back to look forward.
