The failed pet projects of powerful public figures: what we can learn from Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin and Barack Obama's painful public failures.
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
The approach taken to understanding the problem, the target goals and ultimately the solution is often flawed from the beginning and those flaws weave their way into the DNA of the product development cycle. In this talk we’ll do an armchair retrospective of some of these high profile failures and we’ll take some ideas from the agile toolbox to discuss a more iterative and collaborative approach to product development that might have saved these organisations a lot of time, money and the goodwill of their customers.
