Abstract

Collaborate for Value: Using Facilitated Sessions to Discover and Deliver Product Neeeds.

For continual delivery of high-value product options, your agile team needs to reach a shared understanding of product needs and collaborate on plans. Learn how nimble, timely facilitated discovery sessions enable product stakeholders to act as partners. Partners explore and evaluate product options and allocate the high-value options to plans. You will understand how these sessions use facilitation practices, emphasize structured conversations, the importance of transparent decision-making, and how to holistically discover and allocate options for delivery.
