Course Description

Empowering product teams goes against many of the established practices in modern organisations. We uncover the changes needed, why they are needed and how to deliver the same benefits in a better way.

What you'll learn

The Why Behind Our Work
Explores the foundational reasons behind current work practices and how understanding these can guide meaningful change.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
The challenge of miscommunication, context-switching, and hand-offs, and how to overcome these with cross-functional teams.
Structuring Teams for Autonomy
Highlights the challenges of dependencies and provides strategies to design team structures that empower autonomy while maintaining clear accountability.
Alignment Across Autonomous Teams
The biggest risk of autonomous teams is misalignment. We share approaches for ensuring alignment and shared vision across multiple autonomous teams operating at scale.
Flexible Governance Models
Time and Cost are easy to measure, but you need a fixed scope. We investigate funding and governance models to accommodate flexible scopes and evolving priorities.
Scaling Cross-Functional Teams
Functional structures enjoy economies of scale. We examine alternative ways of scaling teams without reverting to functional silos.
