This will be the first live session run on Maven, so we're excited to learn and build along with you

Beta Cohort

As a senior product manager, I used to spend time daydreaming about being on an empowered product team like the ones I'd read about. You know the ones - they're running experiments all the time, making small bets, taking the right-size risks - and it's paying off. The thing I learned about being empowered is you can't wait for someone else to empower you. Join me for this live conversation where I'll share my top tips for product managers to develop an empowered team, no matter where they're starting. Thu April 27, 20233 pm EST

Empowering Your Product Team

As a senior product manager, I used to spend time daydreaming about being on an empowered product team like the ones I'd read about. You know the ones - they're running experiments all the time, making small bets, taking the right-size risks - and it's paying off. The thing I learned about being empowered is you can't wait for someone else to empower you. My favorite way to start on the path to empowerment is to start practicing continuous product discovery. Now, I'm going to share my lessons learned over 15 years of building product practices and teams across dozens of companies. We'll join for 4 hour-long workshops, each focused on learning through exercises and interactions with your peers, and share our thoughts in between using the Maven community. Not only that, but you'll also receive a free 1-year membership to our private community, The Product Science Salon. This includes: - Private slack channel with me and the members of my team - Monthly live hot-seat coaching calls - Extra monthly content such as Q&amp;As with the team, expert panels, templates, and tutorials

Course schedule

You are a product manager who wants to practice continuous product discovery.

You daydream about being part of an empowered product team like the ones you read about.

You’re frustrated by leaders who just want you to build what they've asked for already.

Who is this course for?

You’ll come away able to:

Many product managers face stubborn confidence that we already know what to build. I'll teach you how to get discovery started even when you're pressured to just build it already.

Justify product discovery when you're asked to just build it already

Many teams leave the research strategy and execution to just a few experts. I'll teach you to identify and tackle the biggest risks and make the most of your team's expertise, including the why, what, who, and how of running a Pre-Mortem Risk Assessment.

Collaborate on discovery goals with a Pre-Mortem Risk Assessment

Failed product discovery often comes from research without strategy. I'll teach you how to tie together the customer definition, pains, and desired outcomes with your North Star Metric and desired business outcome so that the whole team understands how it all fits together.

Formulate a High-Growth Hypothesis to tie research to results

Being right is not enough. You also have to be persuasive. I'll share my favorite techniques for driving buy-in from leaders, stakeholders, and team members.
