Product Development Support

Scrum, Kanban, DevOps - whichever Agile approach you use, if you are developing a product or service there is a lot more you need than just an Agile framework.

Let PragmaticAll help you with your Product Vision, Agile Roadmap, or Refinement. Call in the experts, or let me help you become an expert yourself.

Product vision

Do you have a clear vision for your product? Is that vision still relevant in our fast changing world? Do you have an effective process in place for maintaining and communicating your roadmap?

If you can honestly answer “Yes” to these questions you’re doing better than most. If not, I’m here to help out. I won’t write down your vision for you - that’s beyond me. But I can help you improve your product vision by introducing good practices and techniques, facilitating vision workshops, and introducing agile roadmapping techniques and a cadence to go with it.

Product Backlog Management

The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team.
— The Scrum Guide, 2020

The primary way to achieve this goal as a Product Owner is to manage the Product Backlog effectively. That’s easier said than done.

PragmaticAll can help you with training and hands-on support. For example by introducing our Backlog Quadrants technique. The workshop to introduce Backlog Quadrants was highly rated during the XP Days Benelux conference in November 2021 and therefor selected for the Mini XP Days in May 2022.

Refinement

REFINEMENT TRAINING

PragmaticAll provides highly interactive and practical in-person and online training courses. Check out the training page or contact me for more information.

REFINEMENT SUPPORT

It takes skill to apply refinement techniques well. Although my training courses give you opportunity to practice, you may find it is still a bit of a struggle back in the real world. PragmaticAll offers support by pairing up with you during one or more refinement sessions. You choose how much support you want: will you take the lead while I observe and collect feedback, or do you want me to lead the session while you watch and learn. Perhaps you want to prepare the session together, then run it yourself while I jump in if needed.

Call me to discuss the possibilities.

REFINEMENT IMPROVEMENT

Do you think your product backlog items are a mess? Are they fine in the end but does it take forever to get there? Maybe you think it’s going okay and you’re just curious if anything could be improved?

PragmaticAll can attend one or more refinement sessions, assess product backlog items, and provide you effective, actionable improvement proposals.

REFINEMENT AS A SERVICE

Is your next feature critical for your business? Why don’t you call in an expert to make sure it is refined well, but still quickly. PragmaticAl can join your refinement session and even without domain knowledge make sure the feature is sliced and refined well. Better still, let me join in with the preparation to ensure the refinement session is well structured and has the right participants.
