Developing The Lean Definition Process: Episode 22

Hubert Palan, Founder & CEO, ProductBoard.com joins the discussion with Cindy F. Solomon and Malcolm Knapp to provide feedback on the validity of the Lean Definition Process. Hubert has over 15+ years of experience, MSc. in Computer Science, Berkeley MBA.

We walk Hubert through a Lean Definition inquiry of what the product is and how to communicate what the product is to be built. We grapple with developing the hierarchy of knowledge about the product features, characteristics, behaviors as well as how to sync internal mental models of what the product is, communicate across the organization to uncovering unknowns. How the Lean Definition process syncs with the process of identifying what the user needs and customer wants are.

The software application Productboard is a system of record for product management that helps teams make products people want: • Understand what users need • Prioritize what to build • Earn buy-in from colleagues & customers.  With one system for helping manage everything product leaders care about, PMs are equipped to make better product decisions. https://www.productboard.com/
