Evolve Agility

Sometimes we’re so enamored with our plan we become blind to the results.

Comment below with ways you think leaders still misunderstand agile strategy?

“We were able to try some more advanced cross-team experimentation to see if we could iterate on problems quicker. My team wanted to continue to grow and take it even further. They were excited and wanted to keep going.” - Find out how we energize transformations from within:

“We were able to bring in examples, develop internal competencies, and coach leadership for the change to be much stickier for those teams. And we did it in a way that supported the unique cultural values of the company.”

Great Product leaders actively look for information that disproves their hypothesis and brings their fundamental assumptions to test. They are never satisfied with status-quo and are not shy to disrupt, even themselves.

They believe in planning, and do not waste energy romanticizing future plans. Product leaders know that in dynamic situations being adaptive is essential.

But they cannot do it alone. Some of the best product leaders that I have worked with are supported by teams that do not take things for granted as well. They innovate hand in glove with the product manager.

Strength of relationships within the product team helps generate options. Enabling the teams to benefit from disorder at least as much as it does when outcomes are delivering value as expected.

What do you do to actively invalidate your feature hypothesis?

Here’s some common traits of the best product leaders I’ve known:
+ They’re never satisfied with the status quo.
+ They’re not scared of disruption -- even for themselves.
+ They know their success depends on support from their team.
+ They innovate hand in glove with product managers.
+ They strive to invalidate their feature hypothesis

What else do you think great product leaders have in common?

Audacious goals (like changing the world) feel unattainable. That’s why so many great ideas take time to...evolve.

Never be afraid to conspire with others to change the world.
