Agile development is here to stay. It has definitely been proven to deliver higher quality products and shorter cycle times.

However, it is not perfect.

All too often, teams have long and frustrating Sprint planning sessions because backlog items are poorly defined and not well understood.

This results in slow velocity as well as poor design because details are still being worked out during the Sprint. The end result is waste and rework because backlog items were not adequately validated.

Product managers must find a better way to identify and validate ideas instead of the current practice of validating and building an idea during development.

In this webinar, John Parker (LinkedIn profile) will address how product managers can use a dual track of Discovery and Delivery.

Discovery is about identifying and validating ideas in the form of features with key stakeholders. Delivery is about quickly generating a releasable product with minimal waste and rework.
