In this podcast recorded at the Agile 2018 conference Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Jeff Patton about moving from project to product thinking; whole team product ownership and satisfying the real customer needs.
Why listen to this podcast:
• There is a lack of focus on product in the agile community – the emphasis has been on projects
• “Project” and “product” are used interchangeably, yet they are two very different things
• If you are building a product that is sold to end consumers, then they are your customer, not “the business”; the focus on “the business” means we build products to satisfy the internal perceived needs, not the real customer needs
• When we start measuring outcomes, we realize that we’re wrong a lot and begin to embrace experimentation
Implementing effective measurement takes engineering – instrumentation needs to be built into the product
