The Art of Maximising Performance and Impact

What makes a product organisation truly high-performing?
Delivery speed? Product Innovation? Business Impact? Our understanding of high-performance is shaped by how our product teams think, operate and achieve success together.

Through diverse perspectives and real-world stories you’ll gain the tools to define what high performance means for your organisation—ensuring consistent, sustainable product success.

Key Takeaways

drives product success

From pixel pushing to product purpose

Whether you run on Agile, Scrum, rely on Design Thinking, or a Product Mindset – the toolbox for our ways of working is rich in rituals and ceremonies.

However, when it comes to product delivery we still see everyday struggles with backlogs, Jira tickets, user stories, and the difference between output and outcome.

Product design pairing is a methodology borrowed from pair programming and dual track agile that weaves together a collaborative design practice discovery and delivery of purposeful work.

Filled with practical tips on where to get started and how to weave these elements together, this talk will show you how Product design pairing not only increases the UX maturity levels of organisations, clarifies a core narrative, fosters alignment and collaboration and ultimately instils purpose – all thanks to the power of (product) design.
