S03 E01 The Empowered Organization with Marty Cagan

Ever since Agile started, different frameworks have emerged. There has been an abundance of training and hyped certificates to get people up to speed. After a few days of following a course, they are now the experts of agility. But does that really support you and your organization in creating the right value?
 
True power comes from empowerment. Having teams and people in the right place, empowered to make the decisions, instead of blindly following the traditional hierarchy is where a lot of organizations could benefit from. Marty Cagan, author and responsible for building products for organizations like HP and eBay, joins us to talk about how empowering organizations.

  What you’ll discover in this show:

-        Just implementing any framework won’t help you solve your problems
 -        It takes a whole lot of courage to give power to whoever should have it
 -        Product Discovery is tough but incredibly valuable
