Product Discovery, Mission Kick-Offs and Team Inceptions
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
My workshop experience a fully remote inception gives a taste of the power of a this style of remote-first digital collaboration approach to product and improvement discovery, this workshop is available as an introduction to product discovery for your organisation.
