Empowered Product Teams – creating solutions customers love that work for the business
Drawing on Marty Cagan's book "Empowered", I will sketch the characteristics of Empowered Product Teams and why they are critical to continuing innovation and growth. Empowered Teams have a clear Vision and Strategy. They are given problems to solve rather than a list of features to build. They ensure solutions are Valuable (customers want to use them to solve hard problems), Usable (UI - easy to use), Feasible to create, maintain, and evolve (Engineering), and Viable (works for business and stakeholders).
