2-Hour User-Centricity Reality Check
Are you building for the user or the stakeholder? Re-align your priorities with this reality check.
About this session
Product teams often find their roadmaps dictated by internal stakeholder requests rather than actual user needs. This session provides a structured way to audit current priorities against user feedback and research data. Running this reality check gives you a clear set of adjustments to realign your product strategy with the people who actually use it.
Why it works
By placing stakeholder demands side-by-side with user evidence, the session creates a visual tension that forces the team to acknowledge misalignments. The process shifts the conversation from subjective opinions to a data-driven critique of the backlog. This objective comparison makes it easier to de-prioritize vanity features and gain collective commitment to user-focused tasks.
What you’ll walk away with

- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
