In my recent conversation with product strategy expert Scott Sehlhorst, we tackled how Agile and Scrum need a reboot to meet the demands of modern, complex software projects. While Agile and Scrum were groundbreaking, the explosion in software complexity since their inception has revealed significant gaps in supporting strategic, product-centric development.

Key insights from Scott include:

  1. ๐—” ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜-๐—–๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต: Traditional Scrum roles and processes were built for a different era. Todayโ€™s teams need frameworks that empower development teams as strategic partners, not just order-takers.

The โ€œproduct trioโ€ approach ensures that customer value, technical feasibility, and design are aligned throughout the development process.
