She highlights how practices often misalign with business needs and fail to manage real-world changes, creating obstacles instead of facilitating collaboration. Jessica advocates for adopting practices that truly serve team and business goals over rigid adherence to ineffective methodologies. Jessica Hall, co-author of “The Product Mindset”, is an accomplished product, design, and AI strategy leader.
