W hat are the disconnect in the perception?\r\n \r\nFor those who want to deliver products that our customers really care about and need, our presentation covers:\r\n \r\n1.Why having a strategic product vision is so critical in reminding the agile product development team of its shared purpose and help bring everyone together.\r\n2.Obsessed with t he customers . . . is out top competitive advantage.\r\n3.Identifying value propositions that are important to customers.\r\n4. Shortening t he cycle from idea conceptualization to validation of potential soluti ons with key concepts and examples from Lean Innovation such as Lean S tart-up/ Lean UX.\r\n5. Creating and prioritizing product backlog item s from the product roadmap. \r\n6. Relentlessly getting valuable cust omer feedback, re-evaluating and re-prioritizing the product backlogs to quickly adapt to change.\r\n \r\n \r\nOUR SPEAKERS\r\nJoel Chew i s the Thomson Reuters PMO delivery Manager, with responsibility in hir ing, mentoring teams.\r\nHe focuses on leading organization end-to-end delivery strategy.\r\n \r\nFranklin Armstrong is Moody's product str ategist and has embraced AgilePhilly and the meetings at Vanguard\r\n  \r\nBoth are familiar with Marty Cagan’s work on Lean Product Innov ation which this talk draws from.\r\n\r\n -=======================-\r \nWhy this Topic ?\r\nMore and more, the problems and pain points that we in the Agile arena are dealing with are in the higher level Visoin and Product Development areas.\r\nFrom discussions with our members, and the good response we had to our Impact Mapping and Customer Journe y Mapping Session at last year's Fall Conference --- Agile Philly is p lanning an entire Track in the Fall Conference which will address Prod uct Development areas.  If you have experience in this or good/bad st ories to share, submit your topic.  Topic ideas are due July 31.\r\n\ r\nDirections to
