Thank you! This was very helpful

Great video. Often we find Organisations treating roadmap as their strategy. I like the way you connect Strategy to “framework to make product choices”

Hey Ant, great video! I appreciate the simple breakdown of the difference between strategy and roadmap using the example from Tesla. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for such a nice knowledge sharing session.

Just had a good conversation and wanted to add some additional concepts: John Cutler did a great post the other day on misinterpreting the 3 horizon model (read and watch his short clip on Linkedin here www.linkedin.com/posts/johnpcutler_one-of-the-confusing-things-about-infographics-activity-7199841773618159616-O05R?). The main point that John makes is that most people interpret the three horizons model incorrectly. It's not sequential, You should be doing something on all 3 horizons at the same time and over time the things in the far horizons 'graduate' to the near horizons. This is exactly what I'm talking about here with explore vs exploit. The near term horizons = exploit. And the far horizons = explore. Over time the things that you explore will graduate into exploit. It's not an either or and why companies must spend time doing both. On this note, I didn't have the time to go deep into this during the webinar but for those interested - this model can also be an input into determining what allocation you might have between explore vs exploit. A textbook product portfolio management answer would tell you to follow the 70/20/10 rule. Which means allocating 70% to Horizon 1, 20% to Horizon 2, and 10% to Horizon 3. So if you were to follow this you may decide to use 10% investment into explore activities. I know not too many read comments but wanted to throw this additional narrative in here - I might do a future video/post on some of the more advanced topics here like the 3 horizons model, product portfolio management and the 70/20/10 rule - if you are reading this, let me know if that's something that might interest you! :)

I appreciate how straightforward the video was and how well explained each of the ideas were, so thanks and kudos. I think any Scrum Master or Product Owner/Manager can see which backlog framework fits his/hers needs, as well as what strategy.

I suppose you can sell them once based on perception, but key differences will come out when they start using it.

Bad explanation

What tool would you recommend for user story mapping for a large complex business?

That's really helpful Thanks for sharing

Wooh new T shirt

Missed the session but gone through the you tube link now and really liked it. Very precise, informative and practical.

This format was annoying for me. I'll check back another time to see if I can stand it later.

Hilarrrious :D

Recording + Kids = Hard! Recording + Kids + Cats = IMPOSSIBLE 😵

That’s awesome man - we are on the same wavelength. I also transitioned to becoming a coach for a similar reason. We should connect!

Great

Thanks for enlightening us as always. I learned one new thing .

great videi.

This is really great content.

damn that’s deep.

Really helpful content, I am learning a lot from you

You earned a subscriber!!🎉🎉

Excellent approach and presentation.

"not a checkbox activity" - excellent point Ant, and a frequent trap for many untrained in strategy because one could no more sell strategy prescriptions than an artist could publish recipes on making oil paintings.

The no-fluff product strategy guide, to use Rumelt's admonishing. I like the outside-in approach.

Ant, thanks for the great content👍 It would be helpful for aspiring PMs if you could create a follow-up 'master class' video with a dummy product strategy. Such a video could showcase the thought process, decision-making, and strategic considerations involved in crafting a product strategy.

Great video! Love this format, and awesome choice with Rory Sutherland.

Congrats to KZbin algorithm that brought me here - this is a great video for Product design & management. Huge fan !

Rory Sutherland is a walking gold mine!

What you have highlighted here is what was lost when strategy development practice was lost with digital and agile transformation and innovation and the obsession with build first and retrofit results later. Product oriented teams lurch from one QBR to the next getting caught in the build trap. It’s really important that someone from inside product management is recognising the chasm between roadmap and vision and calling for bringing this systematic thinking back into play. Nicely done.

Good one. Insightful !!

the key to strategy is the alignment component - without alignment, it isn't a strategy just an academic statement - alignment let's you realise the strategy and means you market the thing you are building to the people you want to address and have a price that is attractive to those people. Don't have alignment...you try to sell something you aren't building, to people that don't want it at a price they are not interested in.
