🎓 🖥 💯 🇩🇪 Hands-on Agile #43: Outcome-Based Product Planning with Jeff Gothelf — July 14, 2022

Roadmapping is a flawed concept in the age of Agile. Maps, by their definition, are linear and we don't build linear products and services any more. We build continuous systems.

How do we communicate that effectively in a continuous world? How do we ensure the voice of the customer is included in these plans?
