You will discover multiple ways of making individual and group decisions, mapped on various Product areas: Product Delivery, Product Discovery, Product Strategy etc.

You will see what delivery teams, feature teams and product teams are, in Marty Cagan’s view, along with transitions between them.

You will get to reflect on how digital products and services serve as building blocks for business ecosystems, and how business value is and will be created in the near future.Finally, an invitation to a Product Strategy AMA on Sept 16 morning.
Keep on evolving,

Template: Making Product Decisions as a Team
Making high quality Product decisions, fast, in a way that involves the right people, is something that helps Product teams achieve fast flow.
At the same time, lacking clarity on who decides how on what is a source of lots of frustrations in many Product teams.
This is an exercise to help with this kind of clarity around Product decisions.

What is Product Evolution?
European business focusing on helping Product teams level up.
The operating model of Product Evolution is simple:
We're working with a small cohort (6 teams) each season;
Each team that is selected goes through the Team Assessment (survey + deep dive workshop);
Based on the fresh insights from the Team Assessment, we co-create the Product Evolution Program as a series of practice sprints;
Each sprint focuses on the areas the Product team needs the most, in order to level up (e.g crafting a better Product Strategy, refining the Product Metrics dashboard, setting up and running Product Discovery experiments etc).
