Some products fail due to a flawed busines s model while others are neither desirable nor useful. This workshop inv ites teams to shift their thinking from developing a product or service to delivering a holistic solution that balances business\, usage\, and t echnology. \;\n \;\nThe Three-Circle Model is both a descriptive a nd a prescriptive approach to develop holistic solutions. It is based on the three fundamental perspectives needed for a balanced and compelling solution\; Business\, Usage\, and Technology. \;\n-The Business circ le represents the economic viewpoint. A solution must be marketable\, pr ofitable\, and affordable. \;\n-The Usage circle represents the conce ptual viewpoint. A solution must be desirable\, usable\, and useful. \;\n-The Technology circle represents the implementation viewpoint. A so lution must be manufacturable\, functional\, and consumable (by the indu stry and associated ecosystems). \;\n \;\nThese three circles can be arranged in a Venn diagram with overlaps for Value\, Capability\, and Ingredients. \;\n \;\nThe Three-Circle Model forms a cohesive and consistent taxonomy that can be used by organizations as the basis of a shared vocabulary\, thereby reducing misinterpretations and wasteful co mmunication churn. The model is also the underlying architecture for a s olution life cycle. Unlike other life cycles with phases that are based on activities (e.g. exploration\, planning\, development)\, the solution life cycle’s phases are based on the state of the solution itself. This makes the life cycle activity and method agnostic\, so it works with Ag ile\, Lean\, traditional\, and hybrid approaches. \;\n \;\nLearnin g Outcomes: \;\n-Describe the three fundamental perspectives of a sol utions: Business\, Usage\, and Technology \;\n-Describe the three two -circle overlaps in the model: Value\, Capability\, and Ingredient \; \n-Understand what a balanced solution means \;\n-Evaluate a product\ , service\, or solution using the model to locate weaknesses and knowled ge gaps \;\n-Apply the Three-Circle Model to a solution life cycle 3\;\n-Improve communication among teams using a common vocabulary and ta xonomy for solution development \;\n-Use the model to diagnose and im prove issues in solution development \;\n \;\nWho should attend:&# 13\;\nProduct management\, product owners\, product developers\, service designers\, architects\, product managers\, engineers\, business develo pment\, business strategy\, marketing\, planners\, project managers\, so ftware developers \;\n\n\nTags: product management\, Product Owners\, product developers\, service designers\, architects\, Product managers\ , engineers\, business development\, business strategy\, marketing\, pla nners\, project managers\, Software developers\n\nImported from: http:// calagator.org/events/1250471880 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/introduction-to-balanced-solutions-mini- workshop-tickets-33517643173 SUMMARY:Introduction to Balanced Solutions Mini-Workshop LOCATION:Lucky Labrador Beer Hall: 1945 NW Quimby\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
