Problem Workshop

Define a valuable technical complex problem to solve.

During the problem workshop, the product team presents their findings from the discovery phase to the business. The goals are to narrow the universe of problem to a prioritized list and align the business and the product team to a common vision for framing.

Steps

Prioritize your insights

Prior to the problem workshop, the product team defines a list of the most important problems and prioritizes them. Learn more about dump and sort.

Present your findings

Review the insights from the discovery phase with the product owners and stakeholders. Explain each problem individually. Divide problems into business problems and technical problems.

Identify technical challenges to overcome

With the support of the product engineers, assess the technical complexity of the problems and form an understanding of the technical challenges and solutions that may be available for a problem. Perform a 2x2 exercise with the technical problems. Stack rank the technical problems by the business impact vs technical difficulty to solve. Learn more about 2x2 sorting and stack ranking.
