Full PDP Assessment
Strengthen Your Teams
Your teams work better when they have the best tools available. You'll get a strategic review of your process to identify what's working well, and guidance to transform any unnecessary practices that slow projects down. What these are can vary from company to company — you'll use a proven framework that naturally fits with your projects.
Keep What's Working, Optimize Where You Want
We'll build on the parts of the process that have been successful and help you supercharge them, while identifying key improvements that will streamline your PDP for optimal efficiency.
Empower Your Groups
Our process of confidential interviews encourages your team to be transparent about their readiness to change. You may be surprised by how willing they are to try new things if the recommendations eliminate their pain points.
Eliminate Friction
You'll receive actionable guidance on the steps to take that will make the biggest improvements in your teams' performance — and the roadmap to clearly communicate this plan to gain broad acceptance of your PDP across your organization. You'll work with our team of experts to create a rollout plan around the guidance, with a solid strategy for implementation.
We do all of this in ways that reinforce your position as an effective product development leader who is always looking to strengthen your PDP across the enterprise.
The Founder & CEO of the Institute: Katherine Radeka
Katherine Radeka has deep experience getting physical product teams unstuck. In 2015, she began to see an increase in the misuse of Agile Software Development practices by hardware teams. She undertook a series of projects she came to call “Agile Rescue Missions” because of the urgency to take action to get teams unstuck.
Since then she’s led over a dozen of these projects for leading companies around the world, most of whom have transitioned rapidly to full adoption of Rapid Learning Cycles in early development. In late development, teams use a blend of traditional project management with a few tailored Agile practices to improve coordination, especially with firmware and software teams that use Agile Software methods.
In 2022, she documented her experiences in the book When Agile Gets Physical, co-written with her long-time collaboration partner, Kathy Iberle.
