Core Product Offering Initiative - | @Kyle McCormick | tCRIL has been brainstorming about what a Core Product Offering might look like vis-a-vis a core platform offering/tech core. Let’s have an informal chat as a precursor to the initiative to define a Core Product Offering as stipulated in the WG Charter as a core WG responsibility. https://lucid.app/lucidchart/84a2f62c-2ed9-4f03-8222-42c326a19257/edit?invitationId=inv_98b3a38a-dd5f-49d4-9cf9-9fa816fbb95f&page=0_0#?referringapp=slack | Share the product+tech core visual in wiki and open for feedback, comments. This is a big topic and one we should have a regular touchpoint for, perhaps each meeting or in a focus group context.
