Key take-outs from the training include:

  • The importance of ‘going slow, to go fast’ and the need to properly triage and scope requests to avoid unnecessary effort, waste of resources and needless iteration.
  • The fact that we need to assess the business value of the request first before we start thinking about how we will do the work – start with the why.
  • The value in doing some homework on the context and problem statement to give stakeholders something to respond to when we ask them to fill the gaps in the brief.
  •  The importance of nailing the killer question with stakeholders so we are all clear about what we are doing before proceeding with the request.
  • The role of hypothesis generation in extracting preconceptions, expectations, prior knowledge and assumptions from the heads of our stakeholders.
