Every organization is in a different state with a different goal. But the ingredients for a successful team capable of delivering solid product are surprisingly similar. 

To truly own the User Experience from end to end, there are thee primary pieces on which to focus.

• Understand the positive tensions

  • Business goals (sales are blocked by … )

  • Development goals (our tech needs to … )

  • User goals (This takes a long time / not possible / etc)

• Ideate Product Vision

  Product vision is a malleable solution to the positive tensions (above), which are incredibly dynamic

  • Napkin drawings, whiteboard sessions, prototypes

  • Meet with sales, dev, mvps, users to test the vision(s)

  • Finalize one vision which will correct the gaps

• Product Execution

  • Presell the one vision one-by-one if possible

  • Make minor changes based on internal conflicts

  • Tie organizational goals to appropriately sized deliverables

  • Work with PM to cut scope, modify features without sacrificing the goal

  • Champion IC’s who deliver

And then do it again.
