Why product discovery is a waste of time
@ Thursday 14:45 - 15:20
Many teams have figured out how to deliver efficiently new products in an agile manner. Their current challenge is the step that comes before: the discovery phase. The way product discovery is done today is usually a waste of time. Tons of efforts leading to very little result leading to reduced trust from stakeholders.
This talk will explain how BlaBlaCar got out that vicious cycle by adopting a rigorous approach to discovery, enabling constant improvement for its 100-million-user carpool network across the world.
