Join us as we interview the amazing speakers to give you their "TalkInTen."Pawel on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/pawelbrodzinski/ Here is what he has to say about himself: "I am a seasoned leader, manager, coach, author, public speaker, and guest academic lecturer. I have end-to-end experience building software and expertise in lean and agile methods. If there's any aspect of building software products, I likely touched it, both hands-on and as a leader. What brings me the most fun, though, is working with organisational cultures to create exceptional workplaces."In this episode, Pawel shares insights from his 20 years of helping clients build digital products. He explores why, despite all the knowledge available, we still believe we can get our products right on the first attempt and offers practical advice on how to improve our product development routines for better results.Here is the synopsis of Pawal's Talk:We’ve been helping our clients to build their digital products for 20 years already. So what have we learned throughout all that time? If you expect to hear, “We got it all wrong,” then yes, we got it all wrong, indeed. There. I said it.And it’s not for lack of knowledge. Lean Start-up was published in 2011. The lingo it proposed is a staple among product people. And yet, so much work is being done as if it were still living in the 1990s or 2000s.Let’s get practical, then. Let’s explore why, despite everything we learned in the past decade, we still believe we can get our products right at the first attempt. And even when we say we know better, we still act as if we could.We scope out products and features. We ask for estimates. We pick so-called “cost-effective” tech partners. Ultimately, we get what we pay for—lacklustre results for a premium price.Can we do better? Sure! Let’s explore how. After all, there’s no shortage of knowledge. It’s changing our product development routine, which stops us from upping our games.Use code PRODAGILITY24 for 50% off interactive slides at AhaSlides.Host Bio Ben is a seasoned expert in product agility coaching, unleashing the potential of people and products.
