Global Agile Summit Preview: Unifying Strategy, Discovery, and Delivery in Product Development With Roman Pichler In this BONUS Global Agile Summit preview episode, we explore a crucial topic that's shaping how we approach product development—sometimes in ways that serve us well and sometimes in ways that hold us back.  There's a growing trend in our industry to explicitly separate strategy, discovery, and delivery into distinct activities or even different teams. On the surface, this seems logical: strategy decides the right thing to do, discovery figures out how to do it, and delivery gets it done. But is this division actually helping us? Or is it creating barriers that make great product development harder? The Origins of Product Discovery "I think it's partly based, at least on Marty Cagan's work, and his insight that many teams are very much focused traditionally on delivering outputs, on writing code. And I think his original intention was to say, 'Let's not worry about creating outputs. Let's also make sure that what we creating makes sense.'" Roman Pichler shares insights on how the concept of product discovery emerged as a reaction to teams being overly focused on outputs rather than outcomes. He explains that conceptually distinguishing between product strategy, discovery, and delivery can be helpful—much like organizing clothes into different sections of a wardrobe. However, in reality, these activities must be connected, informing and guiding each other rather than existing as sequential steps. The Risks of Separating Product Strategy, from Discovery, and from Delivery "If we have a group of people who takes care of strategic decisions, a different group focusing on product discovery, and another group—the tech team—who focuses on product delivery, and those groups don't talk as much as they could and should do, then suddenly we have a sequential process and handoffs." One of the primary challenges with separating strategy, discovery, and delivery is the risk of creating handoffs between different teams. Roman highlights how this sequential approach can slow down value creation, lead to knowledge loss, and increase the likelihood of introducing mistakes. This separation can create barriers that ultimately make product development more difficult and less effective. In this segment, we refer to the podcast interview with Tim Herbig on the concept of Lateral Leadership, and how that is critical for product people. Integrating the Work Streams "What I usually use as a visualization tool is three work streams: a strategy work stream, a discovery work stream, and a delivery work stream. The strategy stream guides the discovery stream. The discovery stream guides the delivery stream, and then the delivery stream informs the discovery stream, and the discovery stream informs the strategy stream." Rather than seeing strategy, discovery, and delivery as separate phases, Roman suggests visualizing them as parallel work streams that continuously inform and guide each other.  This approach recognizes that strategy work doesn't just happen at the beginning—it continues throughout the product lifecycle, adapting as the product evolves. By integrating these work streams and ensuring they're interconnected through feedback loops, teams can create a more cohesive and effective product development process. The Power of Collaboration "The important thing is to make sure that the different areas of work are not disjointed but interlinked. A key element to make that work is to use collaboration and teamwork and ensure that there aren't any handoffs, or avoid handoffs as much as possible." Collaboration and teamwork are essential to successfully integrating strategy, discovery, and delivery. Roman emphasizes the importance of bringing product people—who understand customer needs, business models, and stakeholder relationships—together with tech teams to foster innovation and create value. This collaborative approach helps overcome the challenges that arise from treating these activities as separate, sequential steps. Building an Extended Product Team "Form a big product team, a product team that is empowered to make strategic decisions and consists not only of the person in charge of the product and maybe a UX designer and a software developer, but also key business stakeholders, maybe somebody from marketing, maybe somebody from sales, maybe a support team member." Roman advocates for forming an extended product team that includes not just product managers, designers, and developers, but also key business stakeholders. This larger team can collectively own the product strategy and have holistic ownership of the product—not just focusing on discovery or delivery. By empowering this extended team to make strategic decisions together, organizations can ensure that different perspectives and expertise inform the product development process. Practical Implementation: Bringing it all Together "Have regular meetings. A specific recommendation that I like to make is to have quarterly strategy workshops as a rule of thumb, where the current product strategy is reviewed and adjusted, but also the current product roadmap is reviewed and adapted." Implementing this integrated approach requires practical mechanisms for collaboration. Roman recommends holding quarterly strategy workshops to review and adjust the product strategy and roadmap, ensuring they stay in sync with insights from development work. Additionally, he suggests that members of the extended product team should attend monthly operational meetings, such as sprint reviews, to maintain a complete understanding of what's happening with the product at both strategic and tactical levels. Moving Beyond Sequential Thinking "Unfortunately, our software industry has a tendency to make things structured, linear, and assign ownership of different phases to different people. This usually leads to bigger problems like missing information, problems discovered too late that affect 'strategy', but need to be addressed in 'delivery'." One of the challenges in adopting a more integrated approach is overcoming the industry's tendency toward linear, sequential thinking. Roman and Vasco discuss how this mindset can lead to issues being discovered too late in the process, after strategic decisions have already been made. By embracing a more iterative, interconnected approach, teams can address problems more effectively and adapt their strategy based on insights from discovery and delivery.

Als Product Owner ist es essenziell, sich kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln und die richtigen Werkzeuge für die tägliche Arbeit zu nutzen. In der neuesten Episode der Produktwerker geht es genau darum: Welche Methoden für Product Owner sind wirklich relevant? Eine der wichtigsten Grundlagen ist die Produktvision. Hier hilft das Product Vision Canvas bzw. das Product Vision Board (von Roman Pichler), um ein gemeinsames Verständnis im Team und mit Stakeholdern zu schaffen. Ob mit dem Framework von Roman Pichler oder dem Positioning Statement von Geoffrey Moore – entscheidend ist, dass die Produktvision klar und lebendig bleibt. Eng verknüpft mit der Produktvision ist das Thema Roadmapping. Klassische, feature-getriebene Roadmaps sind längst überholt. Stattdessen setzen erfahrene Product Owner auf Outcome-orientierte Roadmaps, etwa in Form der Now-Next-Later-Roadmap. Dabei geht es nicht darum, starre Zeitpläne einzuhalten, sondern den Fokus auf die gewünschten Wirkungen zu legen. Für eine sinnvolle Planung ist außerdem Story Mapping unverzichtbar. Diese Methode hilft, eine holistische Sicht auf das Produkt zu behalten, Features sinnvoll zu priorisieren und das Team in die richtige Richtung zu steuern. Jeff Patton hat mit dem User Story Mapping eine Praxis entwickelt, die das Verständnis für Wirkungsschnitte und Priorisierung stärkt. Ein weiteres wertvolles Tool im Werkzeugkasten eines Product Owners ist der Opportunity Solution Tree (OST), bekannt aus Teresa Torres' Buch Continuous Discovery Habits. Der OST ermöglicht es, Business-Ziele mit Kundenbedürfnissen zu verknüpfen und den besten Weg zur Lösung abzuleiten. Etwas älter, aber genauso wirksam ist das Impact Mapping von Gojko Adzic – ein strukturierter Ansatz, um zu visualisieren, welche Akteure ihr Verhalten ändern müssen, damit das Produkt erfolgreich wird. In der täglichen Arbeit von Product Ownern spielen Annahmen eine große Rolle. Doch oft sind diese weder hinterfragt noch belegt. Hier kommt das Assumption Mapping ins Spiel. Mit dieser Methode von David J. Bland lassen sich Annahmen systematisch priorisieren und durch gezielte Experimente validieren. Auch das Arbeiten mit User-Feedback gehört zu den essenziellen Methoden für Product Owner. Hier hilft der Interview-Snapshot aus Teresa Torres' Discovery-Ansatz, um strukturierte Erkenntnisse aus Nutzerinterviews zu ziehen. In Kombination mit dem Value Proposition Canvas von Alexander Osterwalder lassen sich die relevanten Pain Points und Gains der Nutzer noch klarer herausarbeiten. Natürlich darf auch das Thema User Stories nicht fehlen. Diese Technik ermöglicht eine nutzerzentrierte Formulierung von Anforderungen. Doch User Stories sind nur so gut wie ihre Akzeptanzkriterien und die Fähigkeit, sie sinnvoll zu schneiden. Deshalb ist es entscheidend, nicht nur das Schreiben, sondern auch das Splitting von User Stories zu beherrschen. Ein weiterer Bereich, der oft unterschätzt wird, ist das Stakeholder-Management. Ohne eine gezielte Strategie kann die Vielzahl an Stakeholdern schnell zur Herausforderung werden. Das Power-Interest-Grid hilft dabei, die richtigen Prioritäten zu setzen und Stakeholder effektiv einzubinden. Daneben sehen wir noch eine elfte Methode, quasi als "Bonus-Thema", das in den letzten Jahren immer wichtiger wird: AI-Prompting. Die Fähigkeit, mit Tools wie ChatGPT oder Perplexity effizient zu arbeiten, kann für Product Owner einen enormen Vorteil bringen – sei es für die Generierung von Ideen, die Analyse von Feedback oder die Strukturierung von Informationen. AI wird zunehmend zum Wingman für Product Owner und sollte daher als fester Bestandteil des Methodensets verstanden werden. Diese zehn Methoden für Product Owner sind nicht nur theoretische Konzepte, sondern praxisbewährte Werkzeuge, die den Alltag eines POs erleichtern und das Produktmanagement auf ein neues Level heben. Welche dieser Methoden setzt du bereits ein? Und welche fehlt deiner Meinung nach in dieser Liste?

Eine Frage, die immer wieder aufkommt, ist die nach dem notwendigen technischen Wissen, dass man in der Verantwortung als Product Owner braucht. Dominique und Tim stellen sich in dieser Folge diese Frage und teilen ihre Erfahrungen sowie ihre Einschätzung dazu. Dazu muss man sich zuerst fragen, warum die Frage nach dem technischen Verständnis eigentlich aufkommt. Das kann einerseits an dem zugang zur Verantwortung als Product Owner liegen. Wenn man vorher in verwandten Rollen wie beispielswerise Business Analyst, oder Softwareentwickler gearbeitet hat, bringt man fast schon natürlich ein technisches Verständnis mit. Das könnte zumindest ein Grund sein, warum viele Product Owner bereits ein solches Verständnis haben und dadurch die Erwartungshaltung ihres Umfeldes entsprechend prägen. Ob das technische Verständnis aber immer hilft ist auch fraglich. Immerhin hat das Team in ihrer Domäne Expertenwissen und so manch ein Product Owner kann nicht aus der eigenen Haut und will mitmischen. Am Ende geht es aber in erster Linie darum, dass die Menschen, die zusammen versuchen ein erfolgreiches Produkt zu entwicklen miteinander sprechen können. Sie müssen sich gegenseitig verstehen. Daher ist ein sehr grundsätzliches technisches Verständnis durchaus hilfreich. Es mus snicht umfangreich sein und ein Informatikstudium ist garantiert zu viel des Guten. Wir haben in dieser Folge auf folgende Folgen verwiesen: - Stellenausschreibungen für Product Owner (https://produktwerker.de/product-owner-stellenausschreibungen/) - Vom Entwickler zum Product Owner (https://produktwerker.de/vom-entwickler-zum-produkt-owner/) - Wie No-Code Tools Produktteams helfen (https://produktwerker.de/no-code-tools/) Darüber hinaus haben wir folgende Quellen genutzt: - Six types of a “product” owners von Roman Pichler (https://www.romanpichler.com/blog/six-types-of-product-owners/) - The Product Trio von Teresa Torres (https://www.producttalk.org/2021/05/product-trio/) - Code it!

The Great Product Owner: The key to an awesome Agile team, the hands-on and insightful Product Owner Tinatin highlights the key traits of a good Product Owner (PO) in this segment. She emphasizes that great PO's are knowledgeable about the product they are working on, as well as its competitors. This knowledge helps the PO to understand what the team needs in order to deliver the best possible product. The PO should be hands-on with the team, and should work closely with them on defining clear acceptance criteria. This helps the team to understand what is expected of them and enables the PO to be more effective in their role. Tinatin also notes that a great PO is easy to work with and has a good synergy with the team. She mentions that the synergy between the PO and the team is a telling factor in the team's success. She stresses that there's not only one way to be a great PO, as different PO's can have different approaches to the role, but when a PO combines knowledge about the product and its competitors with a hands-on approach to working with the team, the result is an awesome PO. The Bad Product Owner: Unleashing the Full Potential of a Product Owner in partnership with the Scrum Master In this segment, Tinatin starts by questioning the essence of the PO role and highlights the importance of commitment and ownership of the product for a team's success. Tinatin emphasizes that a PO should have a clear vision and evolve it based on data and feedback. She stresses the need for a PO to have a foot in both development and business and to be hands-on with the product. As a Scrum Master, Tinatin suggests testing the product and making time to play with it to help the PO understand it better. She also suggests sitting down with the PO to build a roadmap for the product and to ask why they value certain features or deliveries. Lastly, Tinatin highlights the importance of the PO being able to sell the ideas in the backlog to the Scrum team and recommends using tools to help the PO take a more active role with the team. Tinatin also mentions the books by Roman Pichler as resources for Scrum Masters and Product Owners. Are you having trouble helping the team work well with their Product Owner? We've put together a course to help you work on the collaboration team-product owner. You can find it at bit.ly/coachyourpo. 18 modules, 8+ hours of modules with tools and techniques that you can use to help teams and PO's collaborate.

In dieser Folge unterhält sich Dominique mit Roman Pichler über das Thema Produktstrategie. Roman hat gerade erst eine neue Auflage seines Buchs Strategize veröffentlicht und die beiden nehmen dies zum Anlass, um über dieses wichtige Thema zu sprechen. Roman sieht dabei die Produktstrategie als einen Plan bzw. den Weg wie man eine Produktvision erreichen möchte. Die beiden sprechen auch über die Probleme beim Entwickeln von Strategien. Oft beobachtet Roman beispielsweise, dass in einer Organisation gar nicht richtig klar ist, was das Produkt ist. Daneben sieht er auch eine fehlende Bevollmächtigung der Produktmanager bzw. Scrum Product Ownern. Aus der Produktstrategie werden dann Teilziele abgeleitet und eine zielorientierte Roadmap entwickelt. Mit Hilfe der zielorientierten Roadmap können Entwicklungsteams angeleitet und Stakeholder miteinander abgestimmt werden. Von Feature Roadmaps rät Roman dabei aber explizit ab, da es ihm weniger um die Auslieferung von Features geht, sondern mehr um das Erreichen von Zielen. Ein besondere Idee hat Roman noch für die Überführung der Strategie ins Product Backlog. Das aktuelle Product Goal wird als alleiniges Kriterium für die Elemente im Product Backlog genommen und nur Elemente, die auf dieses Ziel einzahlen sollten im Backlog aufgenommen werden. Damit wird das Product Backlog recht schlank aber sehr auf das Produktziel fokussiert. Roman war bereit einmal bei uns zu Gast und hat darüber gesprochen, welche Herausforderungen und Praktiken bestehen, um als Product Owner zu führen (https://produktwerker.de/how-to-lead-in-product-management/).

'Start with the why?' When creating a digital product, we usually focus on a specific problem or opportunity space in order to create a solution to achieve a desired outcome or solve a problem. If only it were so straightforward! In reality, products go through many iterations; more data provides insight, the product strategy evolves, assumptions are tested and hypothesises are proven or disproven. Whether working on the first version or further iterations of a product, it is important to keep focused on the direction of travel in order to keep on the desired path to success. In this episode I am joined by Roman Pichler, Author and renowned Product Expert  and we deep dive into how you can create a captivating vision for your product to start you off on the right footing but also touching on some of the pitfalls to avoid when creating vision.

Brian speaks with Stacey Ackerman about working with Marketing teams using Agile. While the majority of teams using Agile are based in software, one of the fastest growing areas for Scrum teams is in Marketing. There’s a natural fit as Marketers are used to using such practices as A/B testing and getting quick results that feed their next steps.

Scrum Product Owner vs. SAFe Product Owner - eine Missverständnis

Fragt man drei Product Ownerinnen, was sie als ihre Verantwortlichkeit ansehen, so erhält man vier sehr unterschiedliche Antworten. In vielen Fällen ist eine Ursache für die Vielfalt der Rolleninterpretationen: Manche Product Owner arbeiten in einem Scrum Kontext und andere wiederum als SAFe Product Owner. Es ist also an der Zeit, dass Oliver und Dominique über die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede sprechen. Denn aus ihrer Perspektive ist dieses Thema eines der großen Missverständnisse in der agilen Produktcommunity. Ein Scrum PO ist etwas komplett anderes als ein SAFe PO. Und nachdem einige Beiträge und Meinungen in den letzten Wochen in die Timeline der beiden gespült wurden, ist es auch ein guter Zeitpunkt die eigene Sichtweise zu formulieren. Dominique und Oliver starten mit einer Reflexion eines Beitrags von Roman Pichler zu "Six Types of Product Owner", der in diesem Podcast schon in der einen oder anderen Episode zitiert wurde. Fokus legen beide aber auf den Scrum Product Owner und den SAFe Product Owner. Wo liegen die Gemeinsamkeiten, welche Unterschiede findet man? Nach einem Blick in den Scrum Guide und in die detaillierteren Erläuterungen in SAFe wird auf die eine oder andere Äusserung von Kollegen referenziert, u.a. Sohrab Salimi oder Heiko Stapf. Natürlich konkretisieren Oliver und Dominique darüber hinaus auch sehr klar ihren eigenen Standpunkt. Sie klären, dass in Produktwerker-Podcast sehr häufig der Scrum Product Owner im Mittelpunkt der Diskussionen steht. Wie immer schließt diese Episode mit konkreten Tipps & Tricks ab.

Stakeholder Community

Eine "Stakeholder Community" zu formen, kann eine Chance für Product Owner sein, aus einer defensiven Rolle des Prügelknaben und aus der Pendel-Diplomatie herauszukommen. Stakeholder sind als Einzelpersonen oder Gruppen definiert, die von den Auswirkungen einer Produktentwicklung positiv/negativ betroffen sind oder die an der Entwicklung als Beteiligte mitwirken. Oft trommeln gerade die "Betroffenen" mit ihren berechtigten oder unberechtigten Interessen und Wünschen immer wahllos auf den/die Product Owner:in ein. Besonders kniffelig ist, dass diese Interessen durchaus sehr unterschiedlich sein können und zum Teil sogar widersprüchlich. Als Product Owner stehst du dann recht hilflos in der Mitte, alle zerren an dir und vielleicht versuchst du es sogar allen recht zu machen. Eigentlich ist das ein zwar sehr ehrenhaftes, aber zugleich auch sehr aussichtsloses Unterfangen. Roman Pichler beschreibt in seinem Buch How To Lead in Product Management die Etablierung einer Stakeholder Community als eine mögliche Lösung des Problems. Um dieses Thema geht es in dieser Episode. Das Buch gibt es übrigens nun seit wenigen Monaten auch in deutscher Fassung unter dem Titel "Leadership im Produktmanagement". Im Gespräch verweisen Tim und Oliver an einigen Stellen auf ihr "POEM", das sog. Product Ownership Evolution Model, welches die beiden 2017 entwickelt haben. Im Gespräch wurde auch auf weitere Folgen Bezug genommen. Daher empfehlen wir euch, auch diese Episoden anzuhören: - Seine Stakeholder kennen und richtig analysieren - Der Umgang mit schwierigen Stakeholdern - Die Relevanz von UX den eigenen Stakeholdern vermitteln - Herausforderungen zwischen Product Owner & Developer - Dein Freund der Scrum Master Weitere Artikel, Videos und Literaturempfehlungen haben wir euch in unserer recht neuen Produktwerker Box (unter https://produktwerker.de/) zusammengestellt. Zu diversen Herausforderungen für Product Owner haben wir dort unsere Content-Empfehlungen zusammengetragen. Eine davon behandelt das Thema: Umgang mit schwierigen Stakeholdern meistern Wie läuft die Zusammenarbeit mit Stakeholdern bei euch ab?

Abstract:Last year, the Scrum Guide got updated. One of those updates has been the addition of the Product Goal. How do Product Goals relate to the Product Vision or the Sprint Goals.

When this story starts, we hear about a Product Owner that had the unfortunate habit of micro-managing the team and assignments. On top of that, the PO was also a yes-man, who wanted to say “yes” to everything the stakeholders came up with. We explore how these behaviors led to the team imploding, and discuss what we can do to help teams and PO’s who start showing the same symptoms. Featured Book of the Week: Agile Product Management with Scrum: Creating Products that Customers Love In Agile Product Management with Scrum by Roman Pichler, found a book that distills the concepts down to practical advice and helps the teams and the Scrum Masters focus on customer needs.

Wir steigen in das Thema Stakeholder Management ein und klären zunächst, was hinter dem Begriff "Stakeholder" steckt. Wir erklären im Gespräch, wie ihr als PO alle Eure Stakeholder finden und kategorisieren könnt. Dazu gehört auch eine Einschätzung, wie die verschiedenen Stakeholder untereinander in Beziehung stehen und sich beeinflussen. Da dies zunächst mal aber nur Hypothesen sind, ist es wichtig in Interviews die wahren Bedürfnisse dieser Stakeholder zu verstehen - also zu validieren. Er auf dieser Basis können dann Ableitungen für Handlungsempfehlungen im Umgang mit einzelnen Stakeholdern getroffen werden. Das ganze wird abgerundet von wichtigen Tipps wie eine Gruppe von Stakeholdern gehandelt werden kann. Insgesamt geht es in dieser Folge also vor allem um einen strukturierten Einstieg in ein Stakeholder Management. Die tägliche Interaktion mit einzelnen und v.a. den Umgang mit schwierigen Stakeholdern beleuchten wir hier noch nicht. Während des Gesprächs verweisen wir auf Inhalte folgender Quellen: Stakeholder Management Prozesse des PMI (Project Management Institute) im PMBOK® Guide, 6th Edition (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge) Als Quelle der Power-Interest-Grid wird allgemein das Buch "Exploring Corporate Strategy" aus dem Jahre 1983 von Gerry Johnson, Kevan Scholes und Richard Whittington angesehen. Roman Pichler hat es mit getauschten Achsen adaptiert und 2015 in seinem Blog-Artikel "Getting Stakeholder Engagement Right" Die Beziehungsmatrix zur Darstellung von Beziehungen von Stakeholdern hat Dominique Winter dargestellt. Für das Buy a Feature Game zur Priorisierung in einer Stakeholder Runde gibt es verschiedene gute Erklärungen im Netz. Zur von Tim genutzten Priorisierung mit der Wäscheleine ist uns keine klare Quelle bekannt. Es ist letztlich eine Abwandlung des Team Estimation Game, das von Daniel Dubbel in einem Blog-Artikel "Alternative Schätzverfahren" (2011) gut beschrieben wird. Im Original wird es Steve Bockman zugeschrieben. Die von Tim z.T. angesprochenen Leitfragen für die vier Steps lauten: 1.) IDENTIFIZIEREN (Vollständige Sammlung aller direkt und indirekt Betroffenen/Beteiligten) - Mit wem interagieren wir? - Wer ist besonders wichtig für unseren Kontext? - Welche Funktionsbereiche sind relevant? 2.) EINORDNEN (Kategorisierung nach Interesse und Einfluss auf unsere Wertschöpfung) - Was würde die Person über unser Vorhaben sagen? - Was passiert, wenn wir nichts tun? - Wie schätzen wir die Beziehungen der Stakeholder untereinander ein? 3.) BEDÜRFNISSE VERSTEHEN (Validierung unserer Hypothesen) - Wie ist Dein Blick auf unser Vorhaben? - Was brauchst Du von uns? 4.) STRATEGIE ABLEITEN (Festlegung, wie wir mit den einzelnen Stakeholdern interagieren, damit unser Vorhaben gelingt) - Wie gehen wir mit den jeweiligen Stakeholdern um? - Wie kommunizieren wir mit ihnen (direkt/indirekt)?

This episode covers the five podcast episodes I found most interesting and wanted to share links to during the two week period starting September 2, 2019. These podcast episodes may have been released much earlier, but this was the fortnight when I started sharing links to them to my social network followers. WILL LARSON ON GREATER THAN CODE The Greater Than Code podcast featured Will Larson with hosts Jessica Kerr, Arty Starr, and Rein Henrichs. Will talked about systems thinking, specifically referencing Donella Meadows’ Thinking in Systems: A Primer. As a sixteen-year-old, he was exposed to systems thinking by his economics professor father. They talked about how to bring about change in complex systems and Rein brought up Virginia Satir’s change model.  They talked about various forms of dysfunction, with an example being tasks that are marked as completed by developers without first doing the work of validation. Will’s own example is that executives never miss their goals; they just redefine the goals so that they hit them. There is a certain level of seniority where you can never be held accountable because you are the accountability function. Getting back into the topic of how to change complex systems, Will referenced the book, The First 90 Days as a great explanation of the need to go slow and observe before you try to change things. He says that the “great man theory” has been out of style for decades in the study of history, but is still in style in tech as the most causal way to understand how change works and also the most comforting. Rein talked about how the heroic individual myth is the other side of the coin to the scapegoat. Just as you pile all the blame onto the scapegoat, you pile all the credit onto the hero. He says that cultures that engage in hero myth-building are also likely to engage in scapegoating. Will says he himself has not seen much scapegoating at the companies he works at, likely because those cultures were unwilling to hold folks accountable for their work, but he has seen the hero myth at every company he has worked. Will then spoke about the 10x engineer myth. Will says he meets people who have been in tech for six or seven years who have the idea that they are almost done with their career. It may be due to the “senior engineer after two years” phenomenon where the career path is not well-defined and a lot of companies don’t know how to take advantage of the skills of people with 15 to 20 years of experience. A second reason is that the industry is an overwhelming and draining environment and people choose to opt out of it. As a result, we have very few engineers who have been around long enough to witness the long-term consequences of their brilliant ideas.

They talked about motivation, specifically motivation of engineering teams. Marcus says that motivation is the desire to get things done and every engineer coming out of school is motivated from day one. If you get one of these people hired onto your team and, two years later, they are demotivated, suffering from PTSD, scared to offer ideas, and figuring they are just a cog in a machine, your problem is your company or your team, not the engineer you hired. Marcus says he is doing secret research on motivation as he is now interviewing candidates for a job and asking them why they are looking to leave their current job. Nobody says, “Pay.” Often the answer is a lack of alignment with their boss or their company, resulting in the engineer losing the desire to contribute because of a relationship problem. These engineers are not stick-in-the-muds that are angry they don’t get to use COBOL anymore. Something happened where instead of having their ideas valued and heard and being part of the discussion, they somehow got disconnected from their boss. In the seventies, Marcus says, researchers discovered a strong correlation between positive employer-employee relationships and the amount of job satisfaction, quality of work, turnover intentions, and amount of promotions. We are thirty-five years into a few thousand scientific studies that continue to prove that the relationship one has with one’s supervisor matters more than any other factor when it comes to job performance and job satisfaction. Marcus says that a supervisor’s one true job is to create a trusting relationship with the people that report to you. Travis shared his own experience in having one-on-ones with his supervisors that felt to him like they were trying to artificial manufacturing a relationship because there was no indication of what the goal of the meeting was.  Marcus says that good one-on-ones are bi-directional. One-on-ones in which the boss just gets status updates from the subordinate and gives new marching orders are often dissatisfying for both parties. Another flawed kind of one-on-one is where it is all about the employee. Such one-on-ones are not effective and neither party likes these either. Marcus suggests that we apply to our one-on-ones the same Agile thinking that we apply to our work. Every month, at one of your one-on-ones, do a retro on the one-on-one. Talk about why you are doing them, what value you’re getting from them, and how to make them better. They talked about psychological safety. Marcus says a lot of managers don’t realize that they are not in a good position to measure psychological safety based on their own gut. He says tools like Claire Lew’s knowyourteam.com, officevibe.com, and other anonymous survey tools can help. When we become a manager or team lead that has you supervising or leading, we forget that we are in a position of power. Travis added that leaders need to be careful about what they say casually so that it doesn’t get taken as a mandate.

Jeff started out by asking why a VC firm decided to start a podcast. Sonal says that a16z has always had a culture of writing, blogging, and sharing ideas. This led them to develop an editorial operation from which the podcast naturally followed. Jeff asked what lessons from blogging apply to podcasting. Sonal sees podcasting as the next evolution of blogging because of its similar intimacy and a similar feeling of authenticity. The difference, she says, is that podcasting is a community and a movement.  Sonal talked about her favorite a16z episodes, including an episode on emojis. She loved it because everybody understands how to use emojis but there is a lot of deep tech and governance involved in making emojis possible. That episode, she said, encapsulates the whole a16z podcast: the intersection of technology, people, politics, context, culture, and humanity.  Jeff brought up a16z’s connection to Mike Ovitz’s Creative Artists Agency. Having read Ovitz’s book and noticed how it portrays Ovitz as a workaholic, Jeff asked Sonal how she finds balance while drinking from the addicting technological firehose. Sonal says there is a lack of nuance in the debates about screen time and work/life balance.

Richard asked Roman what a product manager is. Roman says a product manager is someone who takes an idea and helps bring it to life, launch it, make it successful, and keep it successful. Richard asked about the distinction between a product manager and Scrum’s notion of product owner. Roman sees the product owner as a product management role, but methodologies like SAFe have redefined the product owner to be a tactical role, misunderstanding the intention behind the role and the practicalities such as answering questions from the dev team, refining backlog items, and answering support and sales questions. He says there is too much focus on the details and this risks losing sight of the big picture. To do a good job for users and for the business, Roman says it is helpful to have people looking after digital assets with the right qualifications, skills, organizational support, authority, and autonomy. He says the term “mini-CEO” appeals to some product people because it indicates that product people need a certain level of authority, but a CEO would have marketing and sales functions under their control and product people do not. Richard asked what talents Roman had to develop to be a great product person. Roman started out as a programmer and began to help business groups come up with new products. What helped him most was to boost his own understanding of how business works and the second most important element was letting go of being interested in how digital products work and focusing instead on who benefits from them.

Scott started by asking whether Dave and Andy knew at the time they wrote the Pragmatic Programmer 20 years ago that they were writing what would become a seminal work. Dave said that both of them were stunned by its success. The book was intended as a way to clarify their own thoughts based on their experiences as consultants in which their clients all had the same kinds of problems: inconsistent builds, the shipping of untested code, and impossible-to-change designs. Scott asked about the importance of the name of the book. Andy said that there was a strain of thought at the time the book was written that was dogmatic and they deliberately pushed against such approaches. Dave pointed out that this was harder on their readers because it forced them to figure out for themselves what works for them. They got into a discussion of what kind of educational background one needs to be a successful programmer. Dave revealed that he is currently teaching classes at SMU to, he says, corrupt the youth by teaching them things like functional programming, and because traditional computer science education is poorly serving the industry and the student. People are coming out of university with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt and, in terms of their value in the industry, they are not much different from people who are coming out of eight-week bootcamps. He teaches third or fourth year undergraduates and graduate students and he has found that none have been shown any form of testing. He would much rather hire someone who had the right attitude, was smart, and who could talk to people and he could show such a person how to code while on the job. Andy added that he gets the feeling that most computer science programs are there to teach you to become a professor of computer science rather than a problem-solver. What Andy says people need to learn, and what university education is not providing, are problem-solving skills.

While attention to detail is necessary to develop a great product, we are in danger of no longer seeing the wood for the trees if we focus too much on the tactics. In the worst case, we develop a product with amazing features and cutting-edge technology that nobody really wants and needs. My talk will help you avoid this trap. It will show you how you can take advantage of a product strategy that clearly communicates the value your product should create, aligns people, and guides the tactical work.

  I don’t really dare to introduce Roman. He is such a big name in Agile Product Management. Since his beginnings in Scrum, he was totally focused: Scrum it will be, Product it will be - and everything that belongs to it. No more, no less. Clarity. In the field of Agile Product Management, he is really known for his great Scrum Product Owner courses, but also his books. His latest book is called Strategize and is all about product strategy. Unlike with many other books on strategy, what Roman accomplishes with his book, is to get the topic out of the vague. He gives clear cut advice in an otherwise often blurry topic. Knowing Roman for many years, it actually took me until this interview to actually decode one of his main qualities: Calm and certainty. Roman, in the best sense, gives you the clarity and certainty you expect from a teacher. While many teachers may bring you to the brink of doubt, Roman in a very calm, distinct and respectful way tells you what he found out to be the core of any topic he writes about. He really helps you to accept this things and go on with them. While I sometimes struggle and have to tell the world about all the different aspects of a topic, Roman already did all the thinking and came to a conclusion. And that helps. He does not leave out the rest of the truth, he just helps you to focus on the core and makes it easy to take the next step in your journey. I guess, it also has to do with his experience: he seen them all and has been in many contexts. He is running his brand as a business since 2006 and was amongst the first Certified Scrum Trainers in Europe. He really was amongst the pioneers and saw the potential when nothing was yet clear. He also writes a prominent blog on his website. These days, his focus is on leadership and product portfolio topics. It is also the topic of his newest blog posts on his blog. The Interview During the podcast we go through the following topics: What is a product strategy? Ways to work on product strategy in the context of new products Working on existing, mature products How to work with Roadmaps What was the writing process for Srrategize? What’s next from Roman? Citations Here some citations from the conversation: "The main challenge initially really is to get to a launch": On why focus and a minimal good enough product is needed in the beginning. "What good enough means, what minimal means, depends very much on the innovation we’re dealing with." "There is a correlation between the amount of time we spend on something and the level of attachment that results": On why it is psychologically so hard to change plans, even though we know it is necessary. "Two aspects are important: Do we have the right skills? And: are people empowered to do the product strategy work?" Often times, senior management is doing the product strategy work, which limits the strength and growth of the company. Management should do the business strategy and let the product department do the product strategy.“ Links  The home of Roman’s company  Roman's blog Roman’s LinkedIn Profile Lots of tools and resources that Roman invented and provides for free, e.g. the Product Vision Board template, a template for goal oriented GO Roadmaps, his Product Management Framework (a structured approach to ordering the disciplines and capabilities involved in product work) and much much more!

Episode 8: Stefan Roock und Henning Wolf / it-agile und die Geschichte von Agil in Deutschland   Episode 8 ist für mich eine ganz besondere und sehr persönliche Folge. Und das hat mit den Gästen zu tun. Ich habe die Folge mit Stefan Roock und Henning Wolf in den wunderbaren Büros Ihrer weithin bekannten Firma it-agile am Hamburger Hafen aufgenommen. it-agile ist für mich die Firma für agile Kultur, Methoden, Techniken und Transitionen. Mit den beiden und ihrer Firma verbindet mich unglaublich viel: wir sind Kollegen, Partner und Freunde. Wir arbeiten zusammen, wir geben hie und da gemeinsam Trainings. Stefan und Henning haben aber als meine ehemaligen Coaches in der Transition von mobile.de einen unglaublichen Einfluß auf mich, meine Arbeit und meine Leben gehabt, der bis heute wirkt. Stefan hat mich - ein kleines Beispiel - zu meinen ersten Vorträgen überredet. Diese Folge ist vor allem ein entspanntes Gespräch über die Zeit von 1995 bis heute und über das was im agilen Umfeld so passiert ist. Es hat sich natürlich angeboten, mit den beiden die so lange in diesem Geschäft sind, einen Rundumschlag und Überblick über das anzugehen was in der gesamten Szene und Bewegung in all den Jahren passiert ist. Um das ganze ein wenig zu strukturieren gehen wir anhand von Büchern und Ereignissen zumindest grob chronologisch vor. Ein paar Muster habe ich erkannt und werde sie am Ende noch einmal zusammenfassen. In dem Gespräch streifen wir alle möglichen Themen angefangen von keinem Prozess, über Extreme Programming (oder was daraus gemacht haben), Scrum, Kanban, DevOPs, Kultur und Leadership, Transitionen und Skalierung. Es kommen die Möglichsten und Unmöglichsten Anekdoten zu Erfahrungen, erfolgen und Misserfolgen auf. Ich will jetzt gar nicht zu viel vorwegnehmen! Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge und dem gesammelten wissen von Stefan Roock und Henning Wolf. Kapitel 00:02:38 - Jahre 1995 bis 2000 00:29:52 - Jahre 2001 bis 2005 00:47:38 - 2005 Ops und Produkte spielen eine Rolle, Disziplinen spalten sich ab? 00:52:04 - 2008 Transition bei mobile.de beginnt, wir drei lernen uns kennen, lustige Anfänge 01:08:28 2009 Kanban, David Anderson, Don Reinertsen 01:21:58 2009+: Fokus auf Produkt: Luke Hohmann, Roman Pichler, Lean Startup 01:31:53 2011 Continuous Delivery, DevOps 01:36:48 2011 bis heute Skalierung; SAFe, Less und Anderes 01:49:34 Ausblick: Wie geht es weiter mit agil? Kapitelnotizen 00:02:38 Jahre 1995 bis 2000 Erstes Scrumpaper Das Wort agil gibt es noch nicht Viele machen noch Rational Unified Process oder andere schwere Prozesse, nur ein paar arbeiten anders. Alls war „wir coden". 1999 „Extreme Programming explained" erscheint 00:29:52 Jahre 2001 bis 2005 2001 XP Buch Roock und Wolf Schwaber Beedle „Software Development with Scrum" Schwaber „Agile Project Management with Scrum" Erste XP Konferenz, Sardinien, Italien - Gepäck geht verloren, man sitzt nass in den Konferenzräumen auf Sardinien Erste XP Days Deutschland 00:47:38 Jahre 2005 bis 2007 Ops/Produkte spielen eine Rolle, Disziplinen spalten sich ab?   „Man kann doch nicht erwarten, dass die Leute in 2-3 Wochen etwas erreichen wofür 12, 15 Jahre gebraucht haben" 00:52:04 - 2008 Transition mobile.de beginnt, wir drei lernen uns kennen, lustige Anfänge Eine Menge unreifes Scrum. „… wir haben uns in Projekten belohnt mit Storypoint, z. Bsp für Bugfixing. Mein Gott, hatten wir Velocity." „Rezepte": Es war klar, dass man das macht, es gibt interne, die Feuer fangen mit denen man arbeiten kann. Es war klar, wer die anderen sind, mit denen man reden muss. Der Kunde hat nicht die Idee, dass die Coaches da sind und die Probleme lösen. Muster: „Transitionen sind dann erfolgreich, wenn sich interne Mitarbeiter in das Thema Einfräsen. Schwierig wird es immer, wenn sich solche Mitarbeiter nicht finden. Die Energie, die dazu notwendige ist, kann nicht dauerhaft von aussen zugeführt werden." Change Modelle hatten wir noch nicht. „Wir sind da einfach reingestolpert. Ich habe mit allen möglichen Leuten geredet um mich abzustimmen. Ich habe ich ständig mit dem CTO häufig abgestimmt und fokussiert. Wäre das Warum nicht klar gewesen, hätte das wahrscheinlich nicht geklappt und ich wäre frustriert gewesen und mir wäre nicht klar gewesen warum das nicht klappt."   01:08:28 2009 Kanban, David Anderson, Don Reinertsen Auf welchen Umwegen it-agile Kanban entdeckt und für sich entwickelt. Ein Stahlwerk spielt eine Rolle und ein großes Versehen. Dissonanzen zwischen Scrum und Kanban. „So wie Scrum ein verweichlichtes XP zu sein schien, schien Kanban ein verweichlichtes Scrum zu sein." Erste Kanbanschulung mit David Anderson in Deutschland. Diskussionen mit der Scrum-Community: Ist der Schutz noch da, Kanban vs. Scrum Tree Hugging Kanban als Möglichkeit mit Operations umzugehen. Arne Roock wird Mr. Kanban Germany und schreibt unglaublich viel, organisiert die erste LKCE Konferenz.   01:21:58 2009+: Fokus auf Produkt: Luke Hohmann, Roman Pichler, Lean Startup Lean Startup March bei it-agile intern. Feststellung: „Wir sind einem Missverständnis aufgesessen, dem viele aufgesessen sind, die damals das Eric Ries Buch gelesen haben. Wir haben das Gefühl gehabt, wir müssten unheimlich viel quantitativ validieren." „Wir haben Adwords Kampagnen geschaltet und dann hat da keiner uraufgedrückt. Und dann weisst Du nicht was los ist. Gibt’s das Bedürfnis nicht? Ist Deine Lösung doof? Oder hast Du nur falsche Keywords benutzt? Wie lange muss man denn warten? Ist es schlimm wenn nach 24 Stunden noch keiner raufgedrückt hat? Sollen wir noch warten? … Was wir am Ende den gemerkt haben war, dass quantitative Auswertung viel zu früh ist und wir auf qualitative Auswertung umsteigen müssten." 01:31:53 2011 Continuous Delivery, DevOPs 01:36:48 2011 bis heute Skalierung; SAFe, Less und Anderes Grund: Die Umgebungen in denen agil angewendet wird werden komplexer, große Teams und Teams von Teams arbeiten zusammen. „Das größte Mistverständnis ist: Viele skalieren an der falschen Stelle. Wie kann ich 150 Leute binnen 2 Monaten agil kriegen? Aber das wann dann bekommen ist wahrscheinlich doch etwas mechanisch. … eine Tücke an diesem Skalieren ist, dass die Leute es ist so schnell wollen." „In dem was wir gemacht haben sind ja auch eine Menge Techniken eingesetzt worden, die heute in SAFe drin sind. Aber sie sind eben nur da eingesetzt werden wo sie notwendig waren und nur so lange wie sie notwendig waren." „Und das ist auch eine Geschichte davon, dass Du dienen Softwareentwicklungsprozess selber besitzen musst." „Im Komplexen kommt man nicht drumrum dass man selber denken muss. Es gibt zwar Hilfestellungen, aber die eigentliche Arbeit muss man selber machen." „Die einzelnen Entwicklungsschritte in den Firmen sind nicht nachzuvollziehen, wenn man die Geschichte der vorangehenden Schritte nicht kennt." Skalieren Firmen an den richtigen Stellen? Sollten Banken eventuell alles auf den Kopf stellen und bei den Cobol-Systemen anfangen zu agilisieren? 01:49:34 Ausblick: Wie geht es weiter mit agil? Alle Großkonzerne werden einsteigen. Management und Leadership wird eine größere Rolle bekommen und auch die Theorie darüber wie Transitionen funktionieren. Scrum geht dahin zurück wo es herkommt: Zur Hardware-Entwicklung. Es gibt eine zweite Welle der Agilisierung für die Bestandteile der Unternehmen, die nicht software-Entwicklung ist. Die kleinen Startups in Berlin als Feigenblatt werden nicht für immer für die großen Konzerne funktionieren. Wahrscheinlich muss man doch an die verkrusteten Strukturen ran. Wrap Up: Ein paar Muster Ein paar Dinge, die bei mir hängen geblieben sind und die vielleicht auch nur erzählt werden können um klar zu machen, wie zufällig vieles im Moment wirkt und wie klar es im Nachhinein dann doch sein kann. Und auch wie stark das mit den Erwartungen an einen eventuell industrialisierteren Beratungsprozess kontrastiert, wie es sie heute vielleicht oft gibt.: In vieles snd wir einfach hineingestolpert und haben vieles einfach probiert. An vielem sind wir im ersten Anlauf gescheitert und haben es erst im Laufe der Zeit herausgefunden Im Nachhinein war alles klar und einfach. „Transitionen" klappen besser wenn der Grund klar ist commitment zur Transition klar ist und nicht in Frage gestellt werden kann auch wenn das „Wie“ noch nicht klar sein kann sich interne Mitarbeiter finden, die für das Theme wirklich brennen und die Freiheiten haben das Notwendige zu machen. Dazu gehört es auch, immer wieder Unbequemes anzusprechen und zu diskutieren. sonst ist Verbessern nicht möglich. Nichts klappt schnell, Eile im Umbau ist kontraproduktiv Man muss den (Software-Entwicklungs-)Prozess selber besitzen. man muss selber nachdenken und die Arbeit machen. Man wendet nur die wenigen Mittel an, die man gerade braucht und nur so lange man sie braucht.

Mein Scrum ist kaputt | Agilität, Scrum, Kanban und mehr

In unserer ersten Folge sprechen wir über das Phänomen "Flying Dutchman Scrum": wenn ein Team ständig vor sich her entwickelt, nie aber ein konkretes Ziel zu erreichen scheint. Oder aber, wenn auf dem Weg zum Ziel alle paar Sprints der Fokus wechselt und man das große Ziel aus den Augen verliert - vielleicht aber auch gar keines hat. In diesem Kontext stellen wir das ProdPad Product Vision Template vor, schauen kurz auf das Product Vision Board von Roman Pichler, erklären den Unterschied zwischen Produktvision und Mission Statement und reden kurz über den Business Model Canvas und den Value Proposition Canvas. In den Picks: Dominik stellt den lesenswerten Artikel "So, how do you make Agile successful" von Chen Ping vor, Sebastian erklärt, wie ihr mit haveibeenpwnd.com herausfindet, ob eure Zugangsdaten in irgendeinem Datenleak auftauchen.
