The Product-Dev Partnership Workshop

Fix the disconnect between 'The Business' and 'The Tech'.

About this session

When product managers and developers operate in silos, roadmaps become unrealistic and technical debt is often ignored. This session brings both groups together to surface the specific friction points between business goals and technical constraints. Running this workshop results in a concrete set of working agreements that align feature delivery with engineering health.

Why it works

The three-step structure forces participants to articulate their own needs while explicitly acknowledging the pressures faced by the other side. By visualizing these competing priorities in a shared space, the team can identify systemic bottlenecks rather than blaming individuals, leading to more realistic planning and higher mutual trust.

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

Who it’s for

Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches
