Have you heard? My new book Continuous Discovery Habits is now available. Get the product trio's guide to a structured and sustainable approach to continuous discovery. I’m hosting a lineup of free events throughout September and October! I’d love for you to join one.
September 23rd: Opportunity Solution Trees: Overcoming the Most Common Mistakes
In this one-hour webinar, I’ll introduce the most common mistakes teams make when getting started with opportunity solution trees and how to overcome them. We’ll cover:
- What an opportunity solution tree is
- Where people go wrong when setting their outcome at the top of the tree
- Where opportunities should (and should not) come from
- How to define well-framed opportunities (including the difference between opportunities and solutions)
- Why you shouldn’t work backwards from your current backlog
- The prerequisites for creating an opportunity solution tree
- How to create one with a specific focus on how to structure the opportunities space
This event is a great fit for product managers, designers, engineers, and any other roles involved in building digital products who are using opportunity solution trees to manage their discovery efforts (or would like to).
September 30th: Assumption Testing: Quickly Find Your Winning Ideas
In this one-hour webinar, I’ll introduce several tactics for how to quickly determine which ideas will work and which won’t. We’ll cover:
- The value of compare and contrast decisions and how assumption testing makes them sustainable
- The types of assumptions product teams tend to make
- The four most common types of assumption tests
- A guiding principle for how fast your assumption tests should be
This event is a great fit for product managers, designers, engineers, and any other roles involved in building digital products who want to speed up their discovery cycles.
October 14th: The What & Why of Continuous Discovery
In this webinar, I’ll introduce participants to the continuous discovery framework I outlined 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 good for folks in product, design, or engineering who are new to my work or just looking for a fresh burst of inspiration. It’s also an excellent opportunity to introduce colleagues to the concepts of continuous discovery.

October 2nd & 28th: Product Discovery Discussion Sessions for Senior Leaders
I’ve been hosting monthly product discovery discussion sessions for senior leaders (think executives, VPs, CPOs) about the challenges they face managing continuous discovery teams. They’ve been a ton of fun.
This event is a great fit for 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, you can apply here.
