Riot Games on Moving Beyond Product Ownership

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2017, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Ahmed Sidky and Michael Robillard of Riot Games about their experiences in product management for a comprehensive gaming experience

Why listen to this podcast:

• The need for a framework to make really tough product decisions
• The importance of a clear strategy when faced with many good ideas - selecting which ones not to pursue
• In the Agile community most of the conversation is about being better product owners, not having better product strategy and this is a gap
• In the product space there are lots of loosely defined terms (outcome, impact, mission, vision, strategy…) so aligning on common terminology and meaning was an important early step
• There are models and frameworks for strategic product management which draw on multiple sources
• To have agility in the tactical space you need to have it in the strategic space
• Anybody in the product development lifecycle should be able to think strategically
