🚀 Welcome to Day 33 of our Agile & Scrum journey on LinkedIn! Today, we're diving into the powerful practice of 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠! 🗺️ User Story Mapping is a technique used to visualize and prioritize user stories based on user needs and workflow. Let's explore why User Story Mapping is essential for Agile teams: 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬: User Story Mapping helps teams gain a holistic understanding of user needs and the desired user journey. By visualizing the user's perspective, teams can prioritize features and functionalities that deliver the most value to users. 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬: User Story Mapping allows teams to identify dependencies between user stories and features, enabling better planning and sequencing of work. By visualizing the relationships between user stories, teams can streamline development efforts and reduce bottlenecks. 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: User Story Mapping promotes collaboration among cross-functional teams, including product owners, developers, and designers. By bringing stakeholders together to map out the user journey, teams can ensure alignment on priorities and goals. 𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: User Story Mapping supports iterative planning and refinement by providing a flexible framework for organizing and evolving user stories over time. As user needs evolve or new insights emerge, teams can adapt their story maps accordingly to reflect changes in priorities. 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: User Story Mapping serves as a roadmap for product development, guiding teams in the delivery of incremental value to users. By breaking down features into manageable chunks, teams can prioritize delivery based on user needs and market feedback. By harnessing the power of User Story Mapping, Agile teams can enhance their understanding of user needs, foster collaboration, and drive value-driven development. Stay tuned for more insights into Agile & Scrum practices as our journey continues! 💡 #Agile #Scrum #UserStoryMapping #ProductDevelopment #comicagile Comic Agilé Engage with us by sharing your experiences with User Story Mapping and how it has helped your team deliver better products and solutions! 🚀🗺️

After 3 Design Thinking projects done you will learn that it is useful to know a little about... 👉 Knowing a little about how to organize big chunks of data helps While running a Design Thinking project, you will generate massive amounts of data: all the post-its you will write, all the notes from the interviews, all the ideas, and additional research material So, you should not be afraid to jump into data, read and organize thoughts It's massively fun to digest all the stuff until everything is boiled down to 10 neatly written post-its. Those 10 post-its can be game-changers if they are the synthesis of a mountain of data 👉 Knowing a little psychology helps you understand your own personality and other people's This benefits your Design Thinking project because you can ask different questions, have different observation methods at hand, and not only scratch the surface of human behavior but understand the deep-down causes of it Once you know, you have a responsibility to use your knowledge wisely The task is to protect those who don't want to know or can't The goal is to use knowledge to drive healthy and empathetic innovation Knowledge can be used as a weapon or as a door opener and invitation We as Design Thinkers totally vibe with the invitation part as we are empathetically driven people While participating in a Design Thinking project, your knowledge about humans and their behavior will open doors and allow you to see sensible and most of the time hidden from society insights that you need to treat as precious.‼️ The only thing allowed to do with those insights is to build them into greatness! 👉 Knowing a little bit about how to play is also super helpful. Play massively drives innovation because if you do foolish things, happy accidents happen, famously quoted by Bob Ross. Playing often means doing surprising things, sharing an inner impulse with laughter, craziness, and high energy. In a playful mode, you will accidentally glue things together and find meaningful insights, while people who try to force new things by staring at a blank page and being totally earnest see frustration, no happy accidents happening 👉 Knowing a little about being comfortable with trial and error games helps massively. Not only in dealing with frustration if things fall flat but, far more importantly, with unlocking a growth habit The failures of today are the advisors of tomorrow's trials that triumph over the status quo until they go too far and lead again to failure, and the process repeats itself. It is frustrating to invest months of effort with minimal results. However, there is no alternative: expertise is acquired through practice, so it is more valuable to experiment and develop resilience than to seek immediate success. You can learn to fail more often in a safe environment that is happy when you do more things to sky rock your learning hockey stick, that environment is called YETI Dresden. Text: Leon Schmidt

Our FAVOURITE question when hiring PMs ... 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: 💬 We're currently trying to improve [major user flow, e.g. onboarding, product purchase]. What metrics do you think are important for us to understand here? Ok, so really this is a set of questions... all the value is in the follow ups. Keep digging until you learn something or teach something. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗨𝗣𝗦: 💬 If you had to pick only one of these metrics to measure success, which one would you pick? 💬 Why did you pick that metric rather than one further up or down the funnel? 💬 How would you calculate your metric? (time period, relative vs. absolute, interval between tracking events allowed) 💬 What are the limitations of using your metric? How would a cynical team game your metric? 💬 What two health metrics would you balance it with? Why? 💬 We're launching a feature in [user flow]. How would you test whether this was successful? (AB test vs. time based analysis) 💬 How would you design an AB test? (sample size, time period, statistical significance) 💬 What does statistical significance mean? 💬 Why might you want a bigger or smaller test group? 💬 When can't you AB test features? 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 • It shows you how well they structure their thoughts, and their intellectual horsepower. • These are things that make good PMs. • Lots of people struggle with metrics. That makes it a good filter. • People who 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 understand product metrics are 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 bad PMs in my (largely B2C) experience. 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: • Most interview questions correlate poorly with competence • You have a limited time to ask questions, so you need to pick ones which differentiate candidates really well. • Good questions have a lot of follow ups, and allow you to go deep. • You ask multiple questions to get multiple signals about how good they are. But you don't need to cover the entire PM skillset. • Some more "obvious" questions I've found are much poorer signals - i.e. everyone has a great answer, or really struggles. 𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗦: Here are some others that also set up great follow up questions: • Tell me about a time you tackled a really difficult challenge • Tell me about something you're really proud of achieving • Tell me about the last time you got negative feedback • Tell me about the last thing you shipped • What do you want to get out of your next role? Structure interview processes to get multiple strong signals over several interviews, tailored for the exact role you're hiring. What is your ONE favourite question? More common interview questions here: https://lnkd.in/eG_gWsD4

🚀 3 tips to help you find out what works and what doesn't when it comes to product experimentation: 1️⃣ Prioritize your return on investment 💰: When you have multiple experiment ideas, choose the one that will have the biggest impact at the lowest cost. This will ensure you're maximizing your resources and focusing on what matters most. 2️⃣ Base your experiments on data 📈: Data is the foundation of any successful experiment. Make sure you have enough data to make informed decisions, but don't get stuck in analysis paralysis. Collect just enough data to move forward and make improvements. 3️⃣ Speed is key ⚡: The faster you can conduct experiments and gather results, the sooner you can make improvements. Take a page out of Duolingo's book - they run 30 experiments every week to continuously refine their product. Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments! 🌟 #ProductManagement #ProductDevelopment #ProductStrategy #
