Episode 07 - Ego

Today I reflect on Gall’s law and think about how it underpins Lean and how understanding this ‘law’ can help us to accelerate digital delivery.

My Nan was a big figure in my life. She powered on to 100 years old and was a kind, resilient, brave and compassionate person. We spend a lot of time together over the past 3 years and I will miss her greatly.

Today I think more about the enlightened product owner role and discuss what it is and why it’s important.

How we think about the intangible costs of delivering in our new product delivery framework and the responsibilities of the Product Owner.

I describe the shift in thinking from our original delivery process Define, Deliver and Develop to Define, Refine and Deliver.

Relaunch of the podcast formerly know as Unstuck and unleashed. Where Matt thinks aloud about digital delivery and reacts to the things I’ve learn during my work with our clients at UX Consultancy.

If what you're doing is important, then you must keep moving forward. You'll be knocked back, but resilience is the key.

Today I go over the delivery process I use to go from Idea to execution in 8 weeks. I give a high-level overview of of the  kick-off, design, develop & test, deploy and evolution. I also discuss when I use accelerators to speed up the delivery process.

Today we're talking about what happens after the MPV, and wether you should Enhance, Pivot or Abandon. We talk about how the way you think about the evaluation period after you've delivered will setup the way you think about the MVP you're going to build.

I'm reading Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday (NOT Ryan Holland as I said in the podcast) and reflecting where Ego has lead me, and what it means for the teams we lead.
