Product Discovery using MURAL

/

I recently presented a LAST Anywhere workshop for participants to experience a fully remote inception where I tried to show the power of a remote-first digital collaboration approach to product and improvement discovery. The workshop was a success and thanks to the participants for a good first run!

The move to #RemoteFirst for most organisations requires a redesign of inceptions and kick-offs. Recently I helped a major Australian brand stand-up a high performing product discovery team using digital collaboration techniques in the middle of a pandemic, where many team members had never met in person!

I used a visual collaboration tool mural.co to successfully kick-off this product discovery initiative. Key agenda items included:

  • Teaching participants how to use the digital collaboration tools

  • Building early trust between people who have never met in person

  • Defining success criteria for the initiative

  • Establishing ways of working for the team

  • Creating a “mission control” for visual management of the initiative

  • Setting up the daily meeting online

  • Running a retrospective online

I’ve made a set of three MURAL templates that allow me to instantly setup for these workshops:

  • Introductions Template

  • Product Discovery Template

  • Team Visual Management and Retrospective Template
