Behind every successful product is a strong, collaborating team interweaving the dual activities of discovery and delivery. Discovery work includes refining backlog items to slice them for value, clarifying themes and acceptance criteria, exploring customer needs informed by research, igniting the team to explore visual design options, crafting a product roadmap or release plan and more. This work builds a shared understanding of product needs, ensures alignment to strategy and goals, and accelerates product delivery.

Agile discovery relies on your teams’ ability to tap into the collective wisdom of all disciplines. That doesn’t happen “automagically”. Teams need people with skills in facilitation, planning, and analysis bounded by a solid foundation in agile principles. That can be you.
