As companies evolve to adopt, integrate, and leverage software as the defining element of their success in the 21st century, a rash of processes and methodologies are vying for their product teams' attention. In the worst of cases, each discipline on these teams — product management, design, and software engineering — learns a different model. This short, tactical book reconciles the perceived differences in Lean Startup, Design Thinking, and Agile software development by focusing not on rituals and practices but on the values that underpin all three methods.
Written by Jeff Gothelf, the co-author of the award-winning Lean UX and Sense & Respond, the tactics in this book draw on Jeff’s years of practice as a team leader and coach in companies ranging from small high-growth startups to large enterprises. Whether you’re a product manager, software engineer, designer, or team leader, you’ll find practical tools in this book immediately applicable to your team’s daily methods.

    The delivery aspects of Agile get visualized, measured, and executed. In this situation, Agile “wins” because the (valuable) activities of Lean Startup and Design Thinking rarely find their way into the same tools as the Agile activities. The result of this is that this work doesn’t get treated the same way as delivery work. It marginalizes the effort and allows it to be cut in the event of a time or scope crunch. Team members, often asked to meticulously track their time and effort on delivery tasks, are left to find time for discovery work “in the cracks” of their calendar.
    To avoid this, product discovery work must become a first-class citizen of the backlog. It must be visualized along with the delivery tasks. It must be prioritized against them and assigned to specific members of the team. It must be tracked like delivery tasks, and the implications of the discovery work have to be taken seriously.

    Post success metrics in public places around the office, and show how progress is (or isn’t) being made against those metrics.
