Abstract/Description

Come to understand the difference between a product and project mindset, and why it’s so hard for even the best of us to make the shift to product thinking. Leave with some concrete practices to help you and your organization begin to shift. We often say the word product in agile development. We talk about product backlogs and product ownership. But, do we really know what that means? We’ll talk about a product mindset and how that’s different from a project mindset. You’ll see how project thinking is baked into the agile manifesto and common agile practice. We’ll discuss some simple practices that’ll help shift you and your team to a product mindset. Plan on time to listen and learn, time to share with each other, and time to ask lots of questions.
