In this talk we discuss three key areas required to cultivate a successful agile product development team: team development, communication and team responsibility. We will look at specific examples of how these three key areas are key to creating killer products, developing strong teamwork and enabling positive, forward-thinking workflows. Attendees will learn via real world examples and come away with new ideas and tactics they can implement with their teams. This talk will discuss team development in a way designed to provide value to Agile veterans and initiates alike.

Product development is very much dominated by the idea of thinking forward. What are we doing next? What does next year's product roadmap look like? How many features are we launching in Q4? All good, valid questions for any software company.

However, this idea of always looking towards the "next thing" leaves little time for reflection during the product planning and development process and can often lead to products failing to reach their full potential.

By design, the 3 Panel Feature Evaluation is a super simple framework designed to help provide teams the ability to look at the feature area in question in three ways: before improvement, during improvement and post improvement. This 3 panel flow is designed to make sure that the user remains front and center during the planning and development process with an eye towards the pre and post experience that so often gets lost during development.

It is all too easy as a product manager to fall into the trap of new, new, new. New is fun. New is shiny. New is sexy. But as much as it pains us, new may not always be the best way to make move your product forward.

In fact, small, incremental changes can have just as big of an impact on customer success and growth as shiny new features.

In this talk I will present real life examples from my personal experience as a product manager and successful startup founder showcasing how piecemeal iteration refreshes can boost customer success metrics and increase overall growth within your product - whether you sell to enterprise or mom & pop shops.
