This workshop toolkit will help the team to kick start a product discovery process.

Have the team align from the get go, give space to raise concerns, estimate risks and take a quick dive into the problem clarity so that design and research workload can be planned. It contains 3 team activities:
Knowns and Unknowns
Hopes and Fears by IBM
Research/Design prioritization matrix by Jeanette Fuccella
When to use
In the beginning of a sprint or an initiative.
Prerequisites
Initial hypothesis/problem statement.
Roles involved
Product designer, Product Manager, Engineering manager, Product Researcher + other roles. Appoint ONE Facilitator.
Ways of doing*
Allocate at least an hour to this workshop. Before starting make sure everyone has read hypothesis or problem statement. Knowns & Unknowns and Hopes & Fears can be done async or live in a session. Design and Research Prioritisation is best done in a sync way since there is a lot of room for discussion and decisions need to be made. Happy workshopping!
*Feel free to adjust ways of doing to your liking and team agreements.
