An invitation to Agile Product Management

Wonderland

Down the rabbit hole!

Agile product manager Envision a product Deliver value Improve process

Which way I go from here?

Envision a product

Advice from a caterpillar

Big ideas

Never been done Customers smile Engineers curse Nobody except CTO thinks

possible Word of mouth

Minimum viable product

Time to market Reduce waste Mediocrity curse

Viability ‡ Delightful

Completeness UI design Quality

Completeness

Envisioning anti patterns

Features soup

• If you don't agree will continue to develop requirements until

you… give up!

Analysis paralysis

Too many requirements

• Just to index the requirements required a pivot table

No real customers

Deliver value

The pool of tears

Don’t waste money!

Maximize ROI

A cat without a grin, but a grin without a cat!

Innovation rate

Split time

Architectural runway

In practice

Create opportunities Visibility, count everything Transparency, flag everything Small time boxes for improvement

A mad tea party

Time flies
