We ensure the opportunities on our opportunity tree are organized and rich with evidence that supports further investment. This evidence comes from everywhere, but is primarily sourced from Insights.
Expectations / Description
Our ONE Number
- TBD (Likely the sentiment of the Oppty Greenkeepers. How easy is it to determine the most impactful work maybe?)
As Insights to Opportunity Alchemists (I/O Alchemists) it is our responsibility to ensure we are listening to every input possible (direct client conversations, partners, support, operations, engineering, design, product marketing, client education/experience, and everything in between) to add opportunities to our Opportunity Tree. These opportunities – when at their best – will be inspiring, compelling, and clear. They should inspire an emotional reaction to those that read them. Readers should feel the pain, the need, the desire. They should be on the edge of their seat ready to storm the field and help our clients realize the value (or currently lack therefor) depicted in the opportunity. There should be evidence (both qualitative and quantitative). There should be target personas, clear strategy alignment, and above all else a hypothesis or measure of success.
I/O Alchemists are also responsible for the organization strategy of products, components, features, and sub-features within ProductBoard. If a squad does have their Opportunity Tree housed outside of ProductBoard, the I/O Alchemist is responsible for ensuring the two stay in sync with one another.
Curious to see an example of how strategy => discovery => shaping => learning could work? Here is an example of how to organize Continuous Value Delivery.

Examples / Observations
Observation created over 2 years agoFeaturing:Chris G.David Y.Principle #4 - We continuously improve how we workInsights to Opportunity AlchemistsTHIS IS THE WAY!!!!!
So much to love about this.
❤️ - Instructions... in the FigJam there is a "How to use an Oppty Solution Tree" section that cites the sources, and walks us through everything we need to know to traverse this tree! I also love that it is an iteration on other oppty-tree instructions floating around out there. We MUST improve how we go about doing the work, and David showed that in a big way with this.
❤️ - The oppties... are mostly from the perspective of the hiring manager, which is just so excellent!!
❤️ - The solutions... are plentiful and very relevant!! Only one oppty has only one solution... the rest have 2+... which indicated the oppty is just that, an oppty and not a solution in an oppty disguise!!
❤️ - The experiments... exist! Most of the time folks skip the experiment part and stay focused on the solutions. I had decided we weren't ready to talk experimentation, because many of our experiments didn't have an initial hypothesis, weren't short enough to have the cost/benefit needed, and weren't measured in a way that was clear to all. So instead I've nudged us towards KIS measures, some born of Launch effectiveness measures, and helping Core introduce a multivariate testing solution. But, seeing those orange circles gives me an indication that my man David is ready to continue to elevate our quest to iterate our way to exponential results/success.
Love this David and Chris!!
Now the next test is how do we keep it this clear once we get folks collaborating with us... solutions that impact multiple outcomes and oppties... and how do we keep this tree green. For now, I'm absolutely wow'ed!!!

Why aren’t Premium users setting up Autopilot?
This is a question that B asked (I know others helped, and as I find out to what extent folks helped I may add them to this observation... for now, I know B was at the center of it).
❤️ - First, this is the right question to ask!! Product at many places is about getting features out the door. But that is NOT how we get down at CP. We...
Continuously deliver value that clients/partners love – and work for the business
... Which means we set an outcome for ourselves and we scratch, claw, and fight our way to that outcome through relentless iteration. But, that is very uncomfortable for most product folks as we were conditioned to "shut up and deliver features". The fact that this question is being asked by an IC engineer speak volumes! It is an example of the exact type of culture we need to have if we are to achieve exponential results 💪🏾🙌🏾
Organization of the documents/assets
❤️ Let's look at the titles within the document; Background on the problem (that has data), Approach to solving this problem (which orients us to what is to follow), Step 1: Brainstorm ideas/testable hypotheses about why accounts are not setting up AP , Step 3: How might we test/validate our assumptions? (which was moved to FigJam, which IMO is the appropriate place)
❤️ Then in the FigJam, the issues were put into an affinity map, and then organized further into what is essentially an opportunity tree.
All of this gives me tremendous confidence that we are headed in the right direction as it pertains to creating rocks that are incredibly aligned for the quarter!!
