Product management is complex, and almost everyone gets it differently. The challenge is finding the right strategy, discovery, and delivery methods for your scenario.

You will probably have a hundred different ways of setting your strategy and discovering what creates value and delivering it.

You wonโ€™t find a one size fits all solution, but I may be able to help you with my favorite techniques and methods.

All the above techniques and methods help my teams create value faster. It took me a while to figure out this way of working, and I genuinely believe this can help you create value sooner too.

If you want to go a step further, Iโ€™ve created premium material for product leaders and product managers. This material helps you understand vital principles to accelerate value creation and how to evaluate the health aspects of product management, discovery, and delivery in your scenario.

In combination with that, I share all the above templates in open formats (PPTX, XLSX) so that you adapt them to your needs.
