Becoming a successful continuous discovery team. More teams are moving toward a truly cross-functional product team model where the teams that develop the product (i.e. product manager, designers, software engineers) are the ones responsible for doing their own discovery. They do their own user research, conduct their own experiments, and synthesize what they are learning week-over-week to support their daily product decisions. Teresa Torres explains this new model, and why it can be useful — as well as how you may be able to put it into practice. This keynote talk was conducted at the Global edition of INDUSTRY: The Product Conference in 2018.
