Validating and Idea can be one of the biggest challenges when building a new product. Are we solving a problem that our customers actually value? Are solving the problem with the right solution? Let's face it, we all can fall in love with our ideas and sometimes this can mean we jump into delivery way too early. In this episode of the DevReady podcast we interviewed Nick Coster. Nick is from Brainmates, where he and his team help product owners deliver products that customers love. Nick shared a step by step approach to designing and validating solutions with our target customers. If you have an idea and want to deliver a technology solution, this is a must listen.

This is HCD is brought to you by Humana Design Hello! I'm Gerry Scullion, and in this episode, we have the brilliant Greg Bernarda, who some of you might know of being co-author of the excellent Value Proposition Design book by Strategyser. This book has been adopted by many service designers, product managers and business designers around the world - so it should be familiar to a lot of the listeners today. So, today's topic is an absolutely massive one "most organizations still largely live in the 20th century, in a world where the key currency for success has been ‘exploitation’. But in the 21st century, the name of the game is ‘innovation’. Those are two very different capabilities. Exploitation is about excelling at executing, and scaling products and services in a largely known environment. Innovation is about navigating the unknown, exploring possibilities, and experimenting with new ways of creating value for people with ever-evolving needs." Service Design, Product Management, UX are all part of the later. I'm really excited to get into this.

Today I talk to Nick Coster. Nick founded Brainmates together with his wife Adrienne Tan more then 12 year ago. Brainmates is one of those companies who are not very big but very professional. Their special field is product management. We talk about the evolution of product management. How the role of product management evolves when the organisation scales up and the CEO can’t be the product manager anymore. Nick describes the role of a product manager as the chief storyteller in a company. The product manager is the CEO for a product but normally doesn’t have the same authority as the CEO. He needs to take everyone on the journey and explain the challenges ahead of the product. Storytelling is the key to this way of leadership and visual storytelling is the lasting version of it as you can capture the visualisation of the story in photos and videos. Therefore I am very excited to announce that we will run the bikablo® Visual Storytelling class in Australia shortly before Christmas. Many of my bikablo® visual facilitation students are in a role around requirements gathering or are working in a business analyst role. In this interview I put myself in the role of a business analyst and ask myself how could I become a great product manager. What does it take to become that person and what do I have to learn on the way. Being on the product management journey alone can be quite challenging. It’s much better to go the way together and catch up with mates who are in a similar role as you. I would like to highlight the “Leading the Product Conference” run by Brainmates every year. The conference will be held this year on the 20th October in Melbourne and 25th in Sydney. Check it out and I hope to see you around in one of the next bikablo® visualisation trainings.
Brainmates Brainrants #6 - Please Don't "Fail Fast" Natalie Yan-Chatonsky interviews the Brainmates team of Adrienne Tan, Nick Coster and Roy McBurney about the miscoceptions of failure in the real world. We'll explore what it means to ‘fail fast', what sort of business environments it makes sense to ‘fail fast' & when it doesn't. We'll also consider how large enterprise wanting to achieve the same outcomes as startups can quickly launch products to their target markets and meet customer's unmet needs.

The best Agile practitioners and thought leaders state that products developed using Agile methods should be linked to the organizational strategies and objectives. In practice however Agile does not provide any guidance for product managers or business owners on how to make this link work. We call this the Agile Business Gap that exists between the objectives set out in a Business Case and the effective formulation of prioritized user stories that feed in to an agile development process. "I'm looking forward to discussing how we have applied components of our Product Development Framework to the Agile Business Gap, in a way that embraces the core philosophies of the Agile approach," states Nick. Nick Coster, is a co-founder of brainmates and passionate about the benefits of putting the customer before the technology and building products and services that delight the buyer and the user. Nick has been developing and managing products for over 13 years. In the process of this journey he has developed a deep understanding of the way the different technologies fit together and is always amazed at the new and exciting ways that people use them.
