Ok Product Owners, how well do you know your flow? How well can you describe it to others? What’s the limiting factor in your product, delivery, and even company? Unless you’ve created and shared a Value Stream Map, you really don’t know.  Understanding how work happens, where it bottlenecks, and how much time is wasted is extremely valuable to learn how to deliver value sooner. Customers won’t care that there were extra steps, they want to use the product to solve their problem.  Help others see how to do that better with a VSM.   Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Plutora -  Tallyfy -  Pace -  Martin & Osterling -  Glen Holmes -  Eugen Eşanu -

A common behavior that leads to agile team dysfunction is seeking credit. This takes away from the emphasis of teamwork and we should instead encourage people to focus on doing the right thing and telling the story of their work.

[156] - Q&A#?

For product folks, how do you identify the core problem? How do you know when you've fixed enough small problems to start tackling the bigger picture? And do people who make things really love problems or is problem-solving just a necessary (and sometimes exhausting) part of the creative process?

[155] - The Problem

Understanding the reasons behind the needs of a story, a problem, or a question, helps you learn more about your customers and product. How can you find the deeper issues that exist, you can ask “So that”. Feedback: Twitter -  email -  Support: Product Coaching and Consulting -  Support -  Links:
