PRODUCT OPERATING SYSTEM

From ambiguity to live product.

A practical operating system for making scope, risk, ownership and release confidence visible.

PRODUCT OS / 01

Make ambiguity visible.

Start with the problem, the people and the constraints. Define what success would look like before deciding what to build.

  • Business need
  • User problem
  • Constraints & risk
  • Success criteria

  • Are edge cases visible?
  • Are acceptance criteria testable?
  • Are risks understood?

Before UAT

  • Is the scope stable?
  • Are test cases ready?
