The What & Why of Continuous Discovery

Many product teams are starting to adopt discovery best practices (e.g. interviewing customers, usability testing, experimenting). However, many of us are still stuck in a project world. We do research to kick off a project, we usability test right before we hand off to engineers, and our primary means for experimenting is a/b testing. These methods are better than nothing, but the best product teams are shifting from a project mindset to a continuous mindset. In this talk, we’ll explore the key differences between project- based discovery and continuous discovery and give your team a clear benchmark to aspire to.

This talk is a great way to introduce your team to continuous discovery.
Your team will leave eager to learn more. Bundle this option with a bulk book purchase for maximum impact.

Ask Me Anything: Dive Deep on the Discovery Topics that Matter Most to Your Team

Let your team drive their own learning. Invite Teresa to host an “Ask Me Anything” session where your team can get all of their questions answered.

This format is great for teams who have already read Continuous Discovery Habits and want to get their questions answered.

Continuous Interviewing: Unlock The Value of Story-Based Customer Interviews

This talk is great for teams who want to get more from each and every customer interview.

Opportunity Solution Trees: Overcoming the Most Common Mistakes

Opportunity solution trees help product teams chart the best path to a desired outcome. They help visualize what we’ve learned, what decisions we made, and where we might go next. In this 1-hour talk, we’ll cover the most common mistakes teams make when getting started with opportunity solution trees and how to overcome them.

This talk is great for teams who have already started using opportunity solution trees and want to fine tune their practice.

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 talk, I cover why testing multiple ideas at the same time is critical to product success, the key to unlocking faster discovery cycles, and 5 different tactics for how to break your ideas into their underlying assumptions. We’ll also cover some simple ways to get started.

This talk is a good fit for teams who are spending way too much time in discovery and/or teams who don’t know where to start with their discovery efforts. It’s also a good fit for teams who are being asked to deliver specific features and need to quickly evaluate the risk underlying those ideas.

Assumption Testing: Quickly Find Your Winning Ideas

Most product teams are drowning in product ideas. They are inundated with feature requests from stakeholders and customers, they have full backlogs, and they are behind on their roadmaps. In this talk, we’ll cover several techniques product teams can use to quickly determine which ideas will work and which won’t.
