PRODUCT MANAGERS AND PRODUCT TEAMS FACE UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGES AS
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTS AND PRODUCT ECOSYSTEMS BECOME INCREASINGLY
COMPLEX AND UNPREDICTABLE.Customers have tremendous freedom to choose
among competing products, and user experience has become a big factor
in many purchase decisions. Time-to-market pressure is unrelenting,
while product complexity and technical challenges keep increasing. In
this environment, businesses must offer solutions that solve the right
problem for the right consumer at the right time and the right price.
SOLUTIONS THINKING OFFERS product management a fresh look at how to
develop holistic solutions for customer problems. Solutions Thinking
helps teams balance business, usage, and technology to create a
compelling and sustainable set of products and services to meet the
customer’s current and future needs. Solutions Thinking helps teams
go from opportunities to solutions using a value-driven approach, and
works with traditional, Agile, and hybrid development life cycles.
Many teams just focus on making PRODUCTS WHEN THEY SHOULD BE THINKING
ABOUT DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS. SOLUTIONS THINKING BLENDS A UNIQUE
COLLECTION OF PROVEN industry models for product management into a
coherent methodology for solution development. The approach is
specifically designed to work in complex environments.
