Workshop Overview

Introductions and presenting the product vision. Having the vision front and center fixes everybody’s eyes on the end target, heading in the same direction. It also helps teams align and make decisions that add the most user value. Sketch out a 6 to 12 months Roadmap. We will use this as a strategic tool, where we place important business objectives and/or features on a monthly / quarterly based timeline. User Role Modelling exercise. These user roles and their descriptions provide helpful context for user stories and other backlog items. Refine the product roadmap, split the features into smaller chunks, and add them into the product backlog, which is our operational tool that the team can work on. Next, we employ a User Story Mapping exercise to visualize the stories in a more user centric way. It will help us better plan, prioritize and categorize the stories. Discuss initial architectural & technical decisions, relevant non-functional requirements, platforms, tech stacks etc. – no intention here to create a complete blueprint, only to enable further sizing and estimates, and possibly understand costs associated to licenses, subscriptions, tooling. As a final conversation, we revisit the roadmap and timelines.
