Ask Teresa: Do Product Teams Really Ship Value Weekly?
- Product teams new to discovery may find it challenging to integrate new activities into their weekly cadence due to perceiving discovery as a pre-delivery phase.
- Adopting a continuous mindset for both discovery and delivery is crucial, integrating small discovery activities into weekly routines and shifting delivery efforts to smaller, more manageable tasks.
- The ideal cadence for shipping value to customers is weekly or biweekly, but various factors like deployment environments, regulatory constraints, and organizational culture can impact this timeline.
- Focusing on reducing work in progress and batch size can help increase the cadence of value delivery by addressing smaller opportunities iteratively.
- Deconstructing big opportunities into smaller parts and using story mapping to design simple solutions are key strategies for increasing delivery velocity and addressing customer needs effectively.
- Avoid getting pulled into a big project mindset and instead prioritize designing the smallest solution that can address the target opportunity to ship value quickly.
- The goal is to build the muscle of continuously delivering value by deconstructing opportunities, creating simple solutions, and iterating based on customer feedback.
- Aspire to ship value weekly while acknowledging that it takes time to improve the cadence, focusing on increasing velocity and streamlining delivery processes.
