I’m hosting several free events over the next two weeks. I’d love for you to join one of them.
March 25th: The What & Why of Continuous Discovery
In this webinar, I’ll introduce participants to the continuous discovery framework I introduced in my book Continuous Discovery Habits. We’ll cover:
- The difference between discovery and delivery
- My definition of continuous discovery
- Why continuous discovery matters
- What a good continuous discovery team does week over week
- How you can develop your own discovery habits
This webinar is great for folks in product, design, or engineering who are new to my work or just need a fresh dose of inspiration. It’s also a great event to share with colleagues who are new to continuous discovery.
April 2nd: Continuous Interviewing: Unlock the Power of Story-Based Customer Interviews
This webinar is designed to help you better understand what a good customer interview looks like. We’ll cover:
- Why most of the advice you read online about customer interviews isn’t adequate
- The cognitive biases that make it hard to get reliable feedback from everyday customer conversations
- A simple (but not always easy) technique that will help you get much more out of your customer interviews
- Some simple ways to practice and build your skill with conducting effective interviews
This webinar is a great fit for product managers, designers, engineers, and their leaders, or anyone else who is working on building their continuous interviewing habit.
April 3rd: Identifying Hidden Assumptions: The Key to Faster Discovery Cycles
Every week, I talk to people who can’t believe that product teams can really test multiple product ideas in the same week. It’s because most product people are stuck in a project-based idea-testing world. In this webinar, I’ll cover:
- Why testing multiple ideas at the same time is critical to product success
- The key to unlocking faster discovery cycles
- Five different tactics for how to break your ideas into their underlying assumptions
- Some simple ways to get started
This webinar is a great fit for product managers, designers, engineers, and their leaders, or anyone else who wants a faster way to determine which ideas will work and which won’t.
April 4th: Product Discovery Discussion Sessions for Senior Leaders
I’ve been hosting monthly product discovery discussion sessions for senior leaders (think executives, VPs, CPOs—people who manage multiple product squads) about the challenges they face managing continuous discovery teams. They’ve been a ton of fun.
Our next discussion is scheduled for April 4th and we’ll be discussing Marty Cagan’s new book Transformed.
This event is a great fit for Senior Directors, Vice Presidents, or C-level executives who manage product managers, designers, or engineers and want to connect with peers.
If you’d like to join the discussion, please send an email to support@producttalk.org with the following information:
