Identifying the Monsters: Planning for a more perfect Discovery

You’ve kicked off your project with your customer, and your team is ready to get to work. As a project manager or leader, how can you identify all the things that could be complex, misunderstood, or just downright scary? How can you figure out what should be in or out of scope? How will you help your customer agree to what should be in your MVP?

In this session, we’ll review how project managers and technical architects can use a Discovery to reach into the darkest corners of a new project, pulling out squishy, unidentifiable clumps of customer requirements, and effectively refine and organize these into a developer-ready backlog. Learn about useful best practices, how to avoid some common mistakes, and pick up some tips and tricks to make the start of your next project more effective and educational for your team.
