Full-Day Product Portfolio Rejuvenation
Identify which features to kill
About this session
Mature product portfolios often become cluttered with legacy features that drain resources and confuse the user experience, yet teams frequently hesitate to cut them due to internal politics or sunk costs. This session provides a rigorous framework for designers and researchers to audit their entire feature set and identify exactly which elements to decommission. You will exit with a documented 'kill list' and a prioritized plan to redirect your energy toward high-impact work.
Why it works
The full-day format forces a deep dive that prevents participants from defaulting to easy, incremental fixes. By structuring the day around evidence-based defense of each feature, the process shifts the team's mindset from individual ownership to collective portfolio health, making it psychologically safer to let go of underperforming legacy projects.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
