Debriefs and Postmortems for Product Development
by José Campos and Jean-Claude Balland

[Business/Project Management]

This downloadable and interactive guide allows your product team to use and apply "lessons learned" in an effective manner. Studies show that "postmortems" are the best way to improve the productivity of teams, better than training, books, seminars and other tools.

The ability to methodically identify areas of improvement from development programs and immediately apply them to upcoming efforts will result in improved productivity, more enthusiastic teams, and improved morale in your development organization.

This ebook was developed by veteran product development experts who know how to "trim" methods to their very essence to make them work, even in tumultuous environments where change is the rule of the day. It will guide you step-by-step, including all the forms, templates and specially process maps required. It will also help you to avoid the common mistakes many organizations make that block them from obtaining the full benefits from debriefs. Finally, it will show you how to prioritize improvement changes, and how to deploy them through the organization in a way that it is embraced by all.
