Many product teams aspire to work in a modern, outcome-driven way—prioritizing discovery, continuous learning, and experimentation. But what happens when your organization doesn’t support these practices? In this episode, we unpack the tension between ideal product practices and the reality of organizational constraints. Join us as we discuss: ✅ Why it’s okay to work the way your organization expects—without feeling like a failure ✅ How to navigate the disconnect between best practices and company culture ✅ Strategies for influencing change when you’re in a feature factory ✅ Specific tactics leaders can use to support product team’s who want to experiment with new methodologies ✅ How to identify action items from everything you read and listen to Whether you're struggling with leadership buy-in, feeling stuck in a rigid process, or wondering if you’re “doing it wrong,” this conversation will provide clarity and actionable insights.
