Si Alhir
The AgilePM CoP Captain
Webinar Summary:Ryma's April 22th Webinar was presented by Sinan Si Alhir. Within this four-part series on Agile Product Management, this second webinar focused on visioning, which fosters orientation and direction for a product.
While visioning is conceptually simple, the techniques emphasize a particular mindset; and while many teams enact the techniques, they don't readily internalize the mindset, and thus don't experience the benefits.
This webinar explores creating compelling visions using agile techniques, including understanding market problems and solutions, stakeholders and users, market and user needs, product features, assumptions, dependencies, constraints, and other requirements.
This four part webinar series focuses on demystifying Agile Product Management. Follow-on webinars delve deeper into specific aspects of Agile Product Management to cover topics such as Roadmapping, and Requirements.
