Keys to Superb Product Team Performance

Have you experienced the joy of being on a truly high-performing team?

It’s an experience we thrill to have been part of, an experience we only hope we can repeat in our careers.

But taking a team to that nirvana state is all too spotty and infrequent.

A group of us have been surveying teams about practices and approaches and ultimately about team performance for most of this decade. High performing teams are not only a joy to be part of, but also highly effective at delivering products that delight customers.

The 2012 Study of Product Team Performance revealed five practices that, if product teams are doing them, gives them a 67% likelihood of achieving high team performance. (Similarly, if they practice none of them, they'll have a miniscule 2% likelihood of achieving high team performance!).

The 2013 Study revealed rapid growth in the number of teams becoming agile - and fascinating insight into development methods and practices teams believe improve their products' profitability.

This year we discovered the correlation with standups. (Make them effective, hold them daily.) And with tightly integrating user experience.

Study co-author Ron Lichty will present the insights we gained from the 2015 Study of Product Team Performance - as well as key findings from earlier studies.
