2023-02-28 - Product Working Group Notes and Agenda

Recording

Attendees

In-person Working Group meeting ideas:

• Interactive brainstorming exercises of various types…

  • Brainstorm upcoming roadmaps - what are people working on? What’s the plan for the next 6-12 months?

  • Perform an affinity mapping exercise, which is where you look to gather input from people in your group around a topic (“most important projects and tech debt”, for example). Each person writes one idea on one post-it (as many as they want), then everyone groups them together to see which areas are weighted more heavily than others.

  • Brainstorm UX, product requirements, or architecture for an upcoming project. We can provide large pads of paper to do interactive “whiteboarding”

  • Updating the relevant section(s) of the Tech Radar for your group

• Work sessions, including…

  • Talking through a new OEP, set of ADRs, or any other large projects where synchronous communication can speed up a process

  • Having one or more people present a bit about what they’re working on, and the group uses the time to ask questions and dive deep

• A more traditional “read-out” format; Eden suggested discussing:

  • Your accomplishments over the past year

  • Your planned initiatives for the year ahead

  • Potential collaboration opportunities

Ideas:

• Read out of product narrative data project

• Celebration of accomplishments last year

• Planning WG roadmap for next ~6mos
