The classic arcade game Outrun (1986) was a critical and commercial success for Sega. But in 1994 Sega released Daytona USA which became one of the highest grossing arcade games of all time.

The reason - roadmaps! Knowing where you are heading makes it easier for you to create a strategy for success.

This workshop will show you how to level up your roadmaps and break-free of the Gantt chart mentality of many roadmap providers

This session talks to the hilarious/scary behaviour that surrounds estimates and forecasts.

I'll look to discuss:

• why teams need to estimate
• some of my own funny experiences when discussing estimates with teams
• the difference between estimates and forecasts
• probabilistic vs deterministic forecasting methods

You'll level up by being more aware of the problematic behaviours with estimates, and how probabilistic forecast methods can help.

This talk and mini workshop aims to address:

• Why some agile implementations have not hit the mark
• Incorporating design thinking into existing agile frameworks
• how to bring focus to the real customer need and not what the business thinks they need
• Rapid innovation techniques with Brainwriting
• mini-workshop to practise an effective Ideation technique.
