The beauty of continuous discovery is that there’s no single right way to do it. For example, while Teresa recommends creating a product trio that includes a product manager, engineering lead, and a designer, she acknowledges that some product trios might be made up of slightly different members.

It won’t surprise you to hear that I use the same continuous discovery habits that I wrote about in my book to run my business. My primary objective across my business is to increase the number of product trios who adopt a continuous cadence to their discovery work. Some of it was normal first-time author insecurity.

When an organization shifts from delivery or feature teams to product teams , the first step is often a change to team structure. Feature parity across desktop and mobile is rarely what customers need or want. These were previously two completely separate sets of products managed by separate French and English arms of the organization.

One of the primary benefits of working in a product trio is we reduce the hand-offs between functional roles. This means that by the time it gets to the engineers, the message is unrecognizable. It’s no wonder we end up with software that doesn’t work for our customers. Products aren’t built by trios. Tweet This.

Think of Net Promoter Score (NPS) software as a tool to measure your customers’ feelings about your product, and categorize them based on their level of loyalty (promoters, neutrals, and detractors). The great advantage of these tools is that they streamline the creation, distribution, and analysis of NPS surveys.

Engineers are often reluctant to participate in discovery. This is only natural: Through years of bad habits, many of us have shown engineers that we only value them for the code they can write. But there are many reasons why engineers are one of the essential members of the product trio. And this is a good thing.

In my experience, managers suffer something akin to the Dunning-Kruger effect.
