The Product Bootcamp is a two-day workshop to provide product managers, product owners, and UX professionals with the tools for delivering successful products. In just two days, attendees will come away with a proven approach for product discovery, visioning, roadmap planning, and prioritization.
Program Description
Demystifying the Product Discovery Process
Are you struggling to get all stakeholders aligned on the most pressing business and user requirements? Do you know what your users really want in a product? Are your product concepts solving a big enough problem for users?
In Day 1 of the Product Bootcamp, we will unpack the essential steps for adopting Product Discovery techniques into your development process, including how to:
- Collect business requirements from the people who matter within the organization and getting everyone aligned on the most pressing needs.
- Plan and conduct interviews with users in their natural environment. You’ll see how to gather critical user insights to inform your product decisions.
- Develop personas in just one day. We’ll walk you through an easy-to-learn method for developing persona descriptions to solve your users’ unmet needs.
- Evaluate, and iterate on your early-stage concepts with low-fidelity prototyping techniques.
Product Visioning, Roadmap Planning, and Opportunity Prioritization
Do you need to set a direction for product priorities and roadmap decisions? Is your team looking for new product concepts to capture a new market? Do you need to establish a long-term Experience Vision for how users will interact with your products and services?
Your team will learn how to collaboratively map out a cohesive product vision that will guide the Product and UX team’s decisions and priorities.
We will walk you through each step of the product visioning process, from planning and research to creating concrete deliverables to inform your product decisions. You will learn how to:
- Establish a product roadmap or list of quarterly product opportunities that your organization will rally behind.
- Map a unified, long-term product vision that aligns with business and user needs.
- Create an Experience Brief to outline your product requirements.
- Iterate rapidly on product concepts using familiar elements of the design studio methodology.
- Identify the best product opportunities for achieving your vision using collaborative, consensus building methods, including the Weighted Matrix Roadmap and the KJ Technique.
- Prioritize and rank product opportunities based on business value, user value, and the degree of effort required to achieve them.
After attending this workshop, your team will come away equipped to prioritize product opportunities that align with your organization’s long-term strategy.
