A common behavior that leads to agile team dysfunction is seeking credit. This takes away from the emphasis of teamwork and we should instead encourage people to focus on doing the right thing and telling the story of their work.

Thinking out loud can help to improve collaboration, transparency, and co-creation in teams. By making one's work and thoughts more visible, it can lead to interesting discussions, corrections, and ultimately better ideas that help customers win.

For product folks, how do you identify the core problem? How do you know when you've fixed enough small problems to start tackling the bigger picture? And do people who make things really love problems or is problem-solving just a necessary (and sometimes exhausting) part of the creative process?

Understanding the reasons behind the needs of a story, a problem, or a question, helps you learn more about your customers and product. How can you find the deeper issues that exist, you can ask “So that”. Feedback: Twitter -  email -  Support: Product Coaching and Consulting -  Support -  Links:

Often times the lesson you need to learn is stuck in your head and only crystalizes when you’re ready. Such is the case for the notion of sharpening the saw that Bob Galen continually talks about.

Deliver It is a podcast for agile Product Owners. Hosted by Cory Bryan and guests bring their experience and ideas on how to improve the role and techniques they use to deliver value within an agile framework. The show brings together relevant news, discussion, around a central topic and your feedback in a fun and supportive way.

Deliver It Cast

One of the hardest parts of being a Product Owner is to find the required balance between so many seemingly competing directions and demands. However, it’s best seen not as a battle of opposing forces but a connectivity of interdependent aspects. Between teams and customers, technical and business, high and low levels. One should not dominate the other. Finding that balance is one key that I have found for success and on this episode, let us explore what some of those items that require balance actually are.   Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Marion Eickmann -  Roman Pichler -  Hope Gurion -  James Womack -  David Marquet -  Clarke Ching -

EP66 - Finding Balance

David Hussman

Where should Product Owners look to engage with others in Product Discovery? The notion of not “knowing” what should be done can be uncomfortable or straight scary to a lot of people. However, the notion of learning more about our product and how our users can, and are already benefiting from it is a great topic to explore. In this episode, David Hussman joins the show to talk about his riffs on how great product teams make meaningful impacts and explore ideas.     Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: Co-host Post -  David Hussman -     David Hussman -  David Hussman -  Henrik -  Kevin Eikenberry -

When your product gets really big and you need to work with teams at scale, what options do Product Owners have? In this episode, Dave West joins the show to discuss the Nexus framework and what PO’s need to know in order to work in this type of scaled environment.

EP67 - POs in the Nexus with Dave West

Hearing from fellow Product Owners is a good way to learn more about the role.  Having others share their experience and journey can give you ideas, insight, and practices to add to your situation. Last episode had a call to action and Paul Foster answered. In this episode he talks about this journey of getting started, learning, and growing as a PO for his company. Special thanks to Paul and to others who want to share their story with others around the world.

So much to be thankful for, so much amazing information shared this season with great guests and I want to thank all the PO and non-PO listeners for tuning in and helping make season 5 better than ever.

EP100 - Retrospective & Questions

The Product Owner role is established in the Scrum Guide. The behaviors, activities, and definitions of what a PO is supposed to do come mainly from this 16-page document.  It’s amazing then how so few people, including Product Owners, have actually read it. If you are “Doing Scrum” then you should at least understand what the guide says.  In this episode, Tim Ottinger joins us to talk about the mentions of the Product Owner, what that really means, and we discuss if most PO’s do those things. Once you understand what it says, then you can talk about if you and the teams are following scrum or notscrum.   Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: Co-host Post -  Tim Ottinger -     Tim Ottinger -  Scrum.org -  Agile for Humans -  IT Risk Manager -  Steve Johnson -

Moving from dev to Product Owner with your team is something that is quite difficult to do.  There are a bunch of new skills, hats, and behaviors you have to be ready to learn.  In this episode, we talk with Jamie Collins who has been on that PO journey for the last year about his experience and what he has been able to do so far. If you want to share your PO story with us please contact the show, we love having other people talk about their successes, learnings, and how they do the role differently.   Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: Co-host Post -  Jamie Collins -   Darshana Sivakumar -  Uptal Vaishnav -  John Culter -  Dave Thomas -

Bob Galen

Lately, Product Owners and others have been seeing and hearing a lot about "Business Agility". What does that really mean? To help explain and explore the concept and what it means for PO's Bob Galen joins us once again to talk about his writings and experience with the concept and where it came from. It is always good to stay informed about topics that you might get asked about and be able to understand how to talk about the topic with others.       Feedback: twitter -  email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Bob Galen -  on Twitter, ,       Stephanie Ockerman -   Solutions IQ -  Mike Cohn -  Wired -

Christine Itwaru

Something that Product Owners have likely seen a substantial amount of in the last few months is the idea of "ProductOps". It appears there is a big push and it's time to learn some more about what it is, how it could help, and understand how different companies are using the idea successfully. For that, we go to the Director of Product Operations at Pendo, Christine Itwaru. Listen in as she informs, educates, and helpfully answers questions about what this means for PO's.      Feedback: twitter -  email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Christine Itwaru -  on twitter Pendo -   Pendo / Sara Estes -   Product Plan / Shaun Juncal -  Nir Eyal -  Ron Jeffries -  EP100 Retro/Question board -

EP99 - Product Operations with Christine Itwaru

What mode are you working in as a Product Owner? Are you and the team working on projects? Or products? What is the way you’re organized, measured, or deciding what to do? In this episode there is some exploration into these two mindsets and what they really mean. Since this is a new concept ( for me at least ), there are some thoughts on what product mode could look like and what project mode has been successfully able to do in the past.  What’s your take? Which are you working in?   Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Annie Dunham  Yuri Malishenko -  Sriram Narayan -  Jeremy Rossman -  -  Henrik Kniberg -

EP80 - Products or Projects?

Ok Product Owners, how well do you know your flow? How well can you describe it to others? What’s the limiting factor in your product, delivery, and even company? Unless you’ve created and shared a Value Stream Map, you really don’t know.  Understanding how work happens, where it bottlenecks, and how much time is wasted is extremely valuable to learn how to deliver value sooner. Customers won’t care that there were extra steps, they want to use the product to solve their problem.  Help others see how to do that better with a VSM.   Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Plutora -  Tallyfy -  Pace -  Martin &amp; Osterling -  Glen Holmes -  Eugen Eşanu -

EP89 - Value Stream Mapping

Gaining a deeper understanding of the users of our products should be high on a Product Owners to-do list. Building knowledge, information, and empathy with them will help us learn more about their issues and situations. An excellent technique for doing that is creating and sharing an Empathy Map that focuses on a specific person using your product. Building a map gets you out of your head and into theirs. That new perspective can help uncover ideas, perspectives, or issues your customer's faces.       Feedback: twitter -  email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Leading Agile -   Adobe -  Rich Mironov -  Elizabeth Ayer -

EP93 - Empathy Mapping

Many times as Product Owners we are asked to do more than the team can handle. Having a way to sort through all of the ideas, problems, and yes even requests are sometimes necessary to put in place. In the first episode of Season 5, the notion of a funnel to sift those items though is discussed, some thoughts on how to do it, how to make sure you focus on those things valuable enough to say yes to, and ways to show the scope of all those asks to everyone.

Melissa Perri

There are a lot of Product Management skills that a great Product Owner needs to learn about. One of the best teachers of those skills is ProduxLabs CEO, Melissa Perri. She has a brand new book all about product roles, skills, strategy, and creating product-led organizations. All of these ideas are intended to help get you and your company out of the Build Trap, a place where customer success takes a backseat to shipping features. PO’s will benefit from adopting the ideas that Melissa has around finding real problems that help the people who use our products, and the systems that create them.            Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Melissa Perri -  -  -     TSSC - NUMIT  John Cutler -

EP85 - Escaping the Build Trap with Melissa Perri

When Product Owners start hearing about MVPs, we really need to pay attention to who’s talking and what they mean. MVP the term has definitely grown beyond its original meaning and frequently gets confused with many other things that aren’t really related.  There’s a ton of information out there and we’ve shared some before. This episode tries to boil down some of it into something that you as a PO can use and take with you. Or at least a strategy to know when you're not talking about a minimal viable product anymore.   Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting -  Jeff Patton -  Product Collective -  Melissa Perri -  Henrik Kniberg -  Product Love -   David Dame -
