4 Problem Statement only par3ally benefit from Agile when product management & product marke7ng are integrated Both business and process improvements go unrealized: Time to Market remains long building incorrect or too many things Long feedback cycles Big releases 4

5 Examples of the ProdMgmt- Dev breakdowns Belief that Agile is for Development, but Product Management doesn t really need to change Sure, go ahead and do Agile, but let s keep the scope, date and budget fixed Do what you want, but don t touch my date Do Agile, I hear it makes the developers faster Product Manager operates in tradi3onal model AND is the Product Owner: Can lose sight of the market opportunity leading to poor product design Or, doesn t have 3me to engage with the team leading to poor collabora@on Product Owners are picked from a range of candidate product roles, but lack the authority to decide anything meaningful Limited support, educa@on and structural change to make transi@on real

6 Examples of the ProdMgmt- Dev breakdowns Por=olio is weak or non- existent, so trade- offs are decided in Development Lack of dependency management leads to bugs and delayed deliveries Big releases, lead to big release management overhead, which only reinforce big releases One shot to get everything in the next release Sales closes new deals based on certain features further delays Product Management inventory is a huge waste of effort Big batch documents that need to be converted into Agile consumable stories Dev teams sit idle wai@ng for everything to be figured out by product mgmt
