About the workshop

As a Product Manager or Product Owner, you know that great products are born from a deep understanding of your customers and their needs. You have heard about the power of Continuous Discovery Habits (CDH) and how it can transform your product development process. But in a Feature Factory, where the focus is on churning out features, it can feel like an uphill battle to introduce a new way of working.

We understand your struggle. You are the one on the front lines, fighting for better products and a more customer-centric approach. But without the support of your leaders, it can seem impossible to make meaningful change.

That is where this workshop comes in. We will show you how to apply the golden rule of organizational change: „meet people where they are.“ You will learn how to gradually gain autonomy and introduce good product discovery practices without rocking the boat. We have broken down the essential steps of CDH into four actionable parts: „Alignment on Outcomes,“ „Research of Opportunities,“ „Ideation of Solutions,“ and „Testing of Hypotheses.“ By structuring it this way, you will be able to tackle each aspect of discovery independently, making it easier to implement within your current organizational constraints.

About the hosts

Frederik Vosberg: Frederik has worked as a software engineer for a small start-up to change the world and get rich through his shares. Unfortunately, this start-up failed the same way many did. The niche wasn’t focused enough, so the MVP was too big to implement with the resources in their hands. Eventually, this drove him to build a business unit that helps corporates to apply start-up techniques.

Timothy Krechel: Timothy failed to reach product-market fit with his own startup. Having been through this painful experience and seeing others make the same mistakes in different environments (corporates, founders) made him focus on early product validation whenever he launches something new and shares it!
