thoughtbot has a sound process for upfront validation and research called Discovery Sprints. Our Discovery Sprints efficiently use collaborative exercises to brainstorm and drive alignment across a cross-functional team. In the later half, the sprint focuses on planning and testing the strongest product roadmap including a clear priority and decisions around design, development, and product strategy. In this event, you will hear from the team who leads Discovery Sprint efforts: what they do, why they do it and how it allows you to maximize your budget and minimize time wasted on building your MVP.

In this live online event we’ll be discussing:

• Overview of what Discovery Sprints entail including the outcomes to be expected
• A perspective from Product Managers, Designers and Developers
• Concrete examples of how time and money can be maximized
• Clarity on how Discovery work translates to priorities and MVP Roadmaps
• How to make a case to your stakeholders for exploring Discovery work

This event is ideal for

• Start-up Teams, Founders & Entrepreneurs thinking about their MVP
• Product Leaders looking to drive innovation and/or use new technologies in their organization
