How do you switch from a feature factory to a product lab? From an organization managing projects and plans to one focused on traction towards outcomes and business impact?
You change the focus of your review sessions.
Here’s what I’m working on with a product leader who wants their organization to focus on outcomes and is trying to get product managers to think more strategically.
Instead of product reviews that focus on backlogs, plans, and reviewing outputs and deliverables…
We are coaching product managers to focus on the outcomes they’re seeing from the work. What are the leading indicators? Do we still believe this direction makes sense?
And even beyond that, what evidence are we seeing about how the product is doing? About traction towards our strategic goals?
What insights can we gain from our product and business KPIs? Do you have any fresh ideas on how to move the needle towards our North Star Metrics? Are there any new metrics that matter that we should focus on?
So how about you? What do YOUR Product Reviews focus on? Are there any interesting ways you’ve been shifting them towards Outcomes and Impact?
