Product Discovery Kick Off Workshop Template

—

Product Discovery is core part of building great products, but few know how to properly kick off product discovery and maximize its impact.

This workshop template is designed to do just that!

A proven approach to kicking off discovery for new opportunities. To date, I've coached 100s Product Managers on this approach and embedded this workshop at dozens of companies through my coaching and consulting.

The workshop is deliberately designed to be collaborative - so include your stakeholders and do the workshop together!
